a series of flowers...

black and white light switch covers

it would appear that I need to work on getting my photographs straight in the first place (or else get a better photo editing program than Paint :)

a couple free-form mosaics...

Interesting.... I had the hardest time getting rid of the extra space at the beginning of this table.... but then it magically disappeared when i used a different tab of the blogspot post composer.... I wonder what html I'm missing.... I should probably get my hands on a html guide... but this is getting much closer to what I'd imagined doing with my picture posts...

a series of birds...

a series of butterflies...

On driftwood and garden sculptures...

Here's some interesting stuff that *I* would like to be able to do with driftwood... but it would just create more and more piles of *stuff* in my yard/garage/living room. That being said.. there are garden sculptures in my future... i have the portland cement... i have the vermiculite... i have 'spare' wood for making molds... i have oodles of tools for sculpting and shaping... and i also have oodles of materials for finishing the surfaces of said sculptures...

also... light switch cover photographs coming soon... i need to figure out how to do some nifty html formatting, but if i can't figure it out by tomorrow, i may just post them 'normally'...

Re-Store and Recycle --- Earth Day 2006

Tomorrow is an earth day festival at a local Habitat for Humanities Re-Store. I will be there, pretending to be a recycle artist. Noon - 4pm. The 'pretending' is there for the word 'artist'. Apparently i still have issues with beign called an artist. A good half of the things i make/do are in fact recycled. it's much more fun to be given boundaries and make it into a game to see how crazy/fun/beautiful/useful/outrageous/interesting you can make something within some pre-determined framework. Variations on a theme can be very satisfying. In the last 4 days I've made an extra 8 light switch covers and a couple of pairs of earrings in a new style (thicker wire, better designs). If I had more energy I'd post pictures. Maybe tomorrow.
