The phrase “she sank into the depths” was very workable . It conjured up quite a few visual images. Giant squid was the initial thought, so I went with it. Snorkel woman was based on an image I shot while on Maui many years ago. Took about 3 hrs to complete. Nothing great but justContinue reading “Finished She Project”

She Phrase
Here is my phrase “She sank into the depths….” Squid and the deep blue sea is coming to mind… we’ll see what happens!

Retro Art
While looking at my friends site, I jumped into her “Retro” section. I find in very interesting to see the progression of artists through time.

The starting printer chose the subject from a news article, carved their image on one side of the 2″ x 2″ x 2″ cube and sent it on to the next person. The next participant read the news articles and created their own image fromContinue reading “6 Sides 2 Every Story”
After ArtFest…
I’ve been home a week and feel all the incredible energy slipping away. The dogs have taken me back as their mom. Mocha took several days to re-adjust. She was seemingly depressed at my leaving.
