My Mosaic Project


This is the project I'm working on in my new mosaics class- It's actually my brother's clothing co. logo- a DOVE. I used some glass for the part I've completed so far and have come really cool stuff called Mexican Smalti for the inside part of it- All different colors. Anyway, I'll post it again when it's finished.

New Doors are Opening for the Circle!

Hey - I made a necklace!

Negative Space



Hello all,

Ed and I were having lunch and he was instructing me on the technique of drawing using negative space. Seeing and drawing the space around the object, rather than the object itself. As we were leaving he 'perceived' the attached photo. That evening I found this poem in a book. I thought I would share this with you.
I love the 'synchronicity' of our group.

The Space Within

Thirty spokes share the wheels hub.
It is the center hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes that make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not.

Lao Tse

Poor ole me


I missed the first circle cause of a yucky old cold. Wahhhhhhhhh!

Pity party at my house! Woohooooooo!
