This is a rather serious and pointy looking thing Zac and I made earlier in the week on a whim. It's from the gold-leaf middle section of a large piece of Chinese funeral paper (joss paper). Don't ask me why it took two of us— it was just a sport of spontaneous creation moment; he… Continue reading flower made from Chinese funeral paper and wire
The cigar box's resulting border, its leaf having been painted over at intervals. My front room floor is glittered with tiny fragments of leaf. I decided to give the borders a contrasting stripe look (a la Moorish architecture in Spain, for example) as the whole thing was looking entirely too contemporary with the borders all… Continue reading Intervals, in art and grammar
This afternoon, I killed a painting I did about a year and a half ago. It was on 2 facing panels of a hinged wooden cigar box— a box I wish to use for a new piece. I sanded it, stained it and obliterated the remaining ghost image with a glaze of linseed and oil… Continue reading Art as murder
But "twins" is so much simpler. In the meantime, (before I take better photographs), here is another angle of the Angels, with their fine gauge halos of sterling— not gold. (Note the trepanned skull; place to affix a head of hair to a bisque-built head.)
Left: Machine Number 11: Twins; Right: Machine Number 6: Flightless Angels Art! A sunday spent in air conditioning, making a mess and making a couple of assemblages.

A map for a thing, utterly unrelated but pretty; based on a lovely from 'Surveying the Shore'. More on that project later... Yes, folks, I'm doing it again. NaNoWriMo has officially begun, and even (at this late, late hour) embarked upon its second *official* day. My word count stands, currently, at 1,899-- a whopping 232… Continue reading National Novel Writing Month has begun!
"A Tiny City springs up from a crack in the pavement" (actual date 08.18.11-ignore typo) "A boy is angry" Finally some drawings I like very much, without coercion! happy.
How horrid I've been with this blog for months! So too with my other web presences. I put my jewelry Etsy shop on vacation over a month ago, and there it has languished; remiss, remiss! But it was a busy and tumultuous springtime, followed by what has thus far been a summer of doing; of… Continue reading absentee bloglord.
