The Gift of a Rubbing. A photo of a utility cover can be taken
while standing. But a rubbing requires kneeling, securing the
paper and careful rubbing with a crayon. Rubbing conditions
may be challenging, especially when the sidewalk is nitty-
gritty. Therefore I consider a rubbing a special gift.
Bruce Laird is a talented artist who sent me this rubbing of
a gas cover that he did in Antibes France.
Rubbing Gift
“Gaz” relief
I researched possible settings for this Gas Cover and decided
to surround it with antique pavers. Bruce Laird’s Gift of a
Rubbing inspired my sculpture relief called “Gaz.”

Hi Bobbi,
I greatly enjoyed meeting you, seeing your work,
and visiting your studio. Jean told me that she
knew I would love to meet you and see your art.
Ha! Was she ever right!
I just looked at your website. It is very classy.
It made me jealous! My Mode 2 Associates site
is not as rich in information, but we are happy
to use it to show off our consulting and
publishing enterprises. I hope you enjoy
skimminmg through it when you have a minute.
If I find any interesting photos in my file,
especially ones of water covers, I’ll email them to you.
Cordially,

Hello Bobbi,
Your artistic talents never cease to amaze me. “Gaz” will command admiration and interest from onlookers since you brought such grandeur to a gas cover which laid there in its loneliness for a long time.
Continued “grate” thoughts and efforts in seeking out to embellish that which has been trodden upon.
