The Summoning Bell for the Muse of Winter is similarly finished, but the photo is a bit blurry.
In the vein of following my muse, Catherine Witherell tagged me and a group of other artists to tell what we're about right now. This morning I made a long list of all the metal clay and glass related things I want to do, trying to decide which direction to choose first.
My current mental bandwidth is preoccupied with:
-birds
-feathers
-found objects
-the new garden construction in my backyard
-bird and butterfly attracting plants
-bench and fountain possibilities for the garden
-bronze clay
-bronze patinas
-bells
-painting boxes (cigar, Altoid, other)
-carving -- directly into metal clay or into polymer texture plates
-electroforming copper
-etching copper
-sketching for photopolymer plates or other textures
-planning for teaching classes on glass, metal clay, and electroforming
-bracelet modifications
-a cuff design from my sketchbook (drying now to carve later)
-painting on glass
-brown/bronze as a color
-red (a new interest)
-complexity
-simplicity
-journaling
-getting more done each day
-painting on glass
-using my stringer skills to do some incredible silver clay syringe work
-making some easy beads ;-)
-choosing
-watercolors
-three new books I bought yesterday:
The Creative Entrepreneur
Creative Awakenings
A Whole New Mind
-understanding my personal creativity
-staying cool
-achieving flow
Plus all those random thoughts that fly through my head continuously.
Oops, I had to edit to add that I'm going to continue the game by tagging a few people. Just link back to this post in your post, then leave me a comment so I can see what you're up to (or not -- it's summer, vacation may call).
