They are called "Magic Rulers" because the objects are found objects and they are glued on the backside of a wooden 12 inch ruler.

Many of the objects glued to the canvas boards and the "Magic Rulers" are just found on the ground when I am walking around my neighborhood. I find coins, and playing cards, and strings of beads all the time. I found a two of clubs on the day of the show. All the playing cards in the artworks were found on the ground. Many of the little toys and sticks were found on the ground, or in the garbage. The stickers and foam stickers and some little figures were purchased.
