THE UNLIVED LIFE...





Recently completed:  A recycling of an antique Gilbert Chemistry Set complete with an artists' book entitled The Unlived Life of Little Mary Ellen.  The story is told about my never receiving a chemistry set in my younger years because only boys got chemistry sets not girls.  The elements are glued in place, a sample sheet of chemicals is included with the book which includes text about the history of the Gilbert sets and my story.
