I once saw a pencil drawing on paper of similar size, a portrait of Burma's democratically elected first PM U NU

"Mr Tender."

by Anna Wallinska.

Anna Wallinska was the artist sister of economist the late Louis Wallinski.

Wallinski was U Nu's economic advisor.

I saw it when I went to interview Louis, then about age 90, in his apartment in DC.

He spoke so softly, so Ispoke softly and when I got back to the radio station nothing was on the mini-disc.

I had to call in tech and do the interview via telephone.

Through their niece, I received a gift of mulberry (Shan) paper. I have only used a few sheets. It's from the 1950s and I intend to make a folded? kite like Ai Wei Wei's Alcatraz "kites."

I'm thinking I should make the spines of wire.

I have to make it so itcan be disassembled and stored flat,

Louis Wallinski died age 92 in 2001.

Rest in Protest, Wallinskis.
