The Skin


the story of

the skin


my mother has had a habit since a teenager or folding up legal pad pieces of paper lengthwise until it's as about two inches wide, and from there curl the paper until it's shaped like what you see above. she would keep the paper always in her hand as a comfort, and would rub at it, liking the feel. over the years she's made hundreds of them, and as far back as i can remember i'd find them in our cars, living room cushions, the bathroom, all kinds of random spots. it's a unique little habit she has, and i love her for it. =D
