Dollhouse Prompt #1: What's in the attic?
Rediscovering the Forgotten: Voices from the Attic
Happy Friday!
I hope your week has been wonderful. If not, I wish you a restful weekend! I've decided to advance the dollhouse project through a series of creative prompts, starting with the question, "What's in the attic?"
Participants will have a full month to respond. I envision this project evolving naturally, with each response shaping the subsequent phase. The attic, a space often synonymous with hidden treasures and forgotten items, seemed like the ideal starting point. What might we discover in our collective attic?
Please feel free to share this project with anyone you think would benefit. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

I'd like to contribute a small 1x1 inch sealed box that will symbolically contain trinkets of the things I wish I held onto, could have held onto. Good reminders...memories of the people I've lost ... my dad especially. Letters, photos, a favorite sweater, journals, favorite books, sketchbooks, toys, ice skates...concert tees...cassette tapes, vhs home movies ... super 8 reels... old cameras... things lost, but not forgotten. Stored memories. If that makes sense.
...50 fire emojis...currently my attic contains small amounts of black mold, dead raccoons...but your questions are far deeper and more interesting than that...what a cool project...
