e thinking about today's: it seemed like a natural follow-up. I do find myself thinking of things in a thematic way these days, most likely in an attempt to organise my mental closet. In any case, as Alice says: life is "curiouser and curiouser" and I've decided to give up trying to figure out what the meaning is. Seems to me we should just get on with enjoying the ride.....
...what the Doormouse said! Some of you will remember this as the reverberating last words from a favorite old song (circa 1968, The Jefferson Airplane on Surrealistic Pillow - for those of you scratching your heads). It's one of those stanzas that will play back many times in my head, and it did just that recently. Time to bring out this mask for another look and a reminder that nourishing the mind is as important as nourishing the body!
r altered photo today but I had a "change of heart" and decided to let this mask out for an airing. I created this piece a couple years ago - and I still have it. For some reason, the times I've shown the mask, it has gotten very little attention (even with the moving, changeable doors which everyone usually loves). Perhaps the message is just too obvious! Anyway, until she connects with the right home, I get to enjoy her in mine.....
ks that I'm working photoshop magic on are becoming more interesting to me than the originals. I'm not quite sure what this means, but I think that it's going to have a real effect on my glazing and finishing techniques! It is quite difficult to get away from the safety of the tried and true and take a leap into unknown territory but, speaking as an artist, these leaps are inevitable and necessary for growth......
t this fool is ready for anything! If one is willing or unable to prevent playing the fool, there must be some type of protection from the consequences. Here I've chosen armor as the device and it's nailed on good and tight so that this Fool can bumble along at will. Whether our protective coverings are real or metaphoric, they play an important role in shielding us from lifes' unpleasantries....
n out in the studio of late and haven't had as much time to devote to the blog - perhaps you've noticed! I didn't feel like digging through the "archives" today, so I'm showing one of my latest passions: photo altering. I've decided that whenever I send out a mask, I will include an altered image of the piece. I just finished this one - and it will be making a trip to the post office (along with its original model) as soon as I finish this post...
