Susan decoupaged matchboxes and tissue-box covers with sistery ephemera.
THE SISTER PROJECT IN THE PHOTO ABOVE STARTED WITH A LAMPSHADE. True. I brought a lamp in need of one in to a local shop called Shandell’s, where owner Susan Schneider makes custom shades and other things out of vintage papers and fabrics. In the process of picking material, I glimpsed Susan’s treasure trove of ephemera—things collected over 20 years by this self-professed “packrat”—and thought wow, what a sister story some of the bits could tell. I guess I said it out loud, and got Susan thinking. Visit our new TSP Galleries show of her resulting decoupage sister project, and get a chance to win one as a holiday gift. Susan’s story, and the contest, are here.

First time here? Here's the idea: TSP is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in-friendship or in-feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: 
As the suffix of its name suggests, 
No surprise, really, that sisterhood, often life’s longest relationship and always one of its most important, has been the Muse for so much creative self-expression by women, and also by men.
