Collage 653

"From the conversation of the Germans, Pierre heard that more guards had been placed on this train than the prisoners, and that one of their comrades, a German soldier, had been shot on orders from the marshal himself, because a silver spoon belonging to the marshal had been found among the soldiers' possessions."

Pierre's life experiences run the full range -- from bastard son to uber-wealthy nobleman, to prisoner of war, and finally to happy family man.

We got the news this week that we will have a show at The New School in New York City! Team Tolstoy will be offering 2 workshops on Monday February 13 to demonstrate the power of collaborative collage-making. That evening at 6pm there will be an opening reception. If you live in the NYC area, please mark your calendars! We will post details on our Facebook page regarding workshop times and how to sign up. -- Lola
