After her tail fell off...

Truman is feeling much better now that her dead tail end fell off...she is sleeker and prettier than ever!

I left the tail end in the yard on a bench. I was considering using it as a real Reliquary object. But by day 3, something took it away. I think it was a flying squirrel, they like to collect all sorts of precious objects to line their home nests. But that is just a speculation. Honestly it seems weird for another animal to want a 6" long dead tail. But maybe it is even weirder that I was considering making something with it! What's next toe nails....wait one of my advisers in art school did collect his toe nails for a year and used them in a piece...I guess all is fare game, in art.

onward....

what's up Wednesday

I got a bit further along on this one. Notice the snake has eaten some of the oranges and has one in his mouth. He will also have stripes.




Monkey Mask just starting to take shape, the base is half a globe...




Globe Monkey also just starting to take shape...




2D-3D high relief. The ceramic pieces were drawn by me and made by my mom--there is a mobile made of the rest of the shapes that I am not quite happy with so that will be reworked along with this piece...




These guys are drying in my super hot bathroom. Most of the heat goes right to this room so it is the drying room. Yep, that is my first harvested Luffa from the garden! I picked and cleaned it yesterday.

I am moving forward on all fronts! Everything relates and is moving in the same direction. Yet each project has it's own voice and I am listening. Ears open, eyes open, all senses open--open systems full speed ahead!

Onward Monkeys!
