its not chanel

assignment: sculpture of a secret – abstract

required materials: wire, burlap, wood, and plaster

this went through a long process to build – from multiple form changes and color/texture changes. one day it was completely black – the next i spray painted it yellow. maybe it represented my mood that day.

what feelings does it evoke in you? or say? chaos/happiness/does it make you want pizza?

Handbag of Knocks, Hormones, Him, and Break-aways

<<<opinions are welcome. this is my first sculpture class>>>

yet to come

today i received news that a scheduled march FAB feature is no longer. yes, its bothersome and hurts but there will most likely be so many of these kinds of disappointments further down the road. this means only one thing. 1.keep going south. when the going gets tough and things happen that you do not understand – keep pushing on. one of my favorite authors is Ralph Parlette. i found one of his well known books “The University of Hard Knocks” at August Antiques some time ago and gave it to a friend to read. it was one of the most insightful books i have ever red. so naturally, i had to track down another copy + some. today, one of his books that i ordered came in the mail and it couldn’t have been timed any perfectly. the best is yet to come.

 

“We do not need to figure how far we have to go to some goal, nor how many supplies we will need along the way. Just make the right start and Go On South. We will find the resources all along the way. We grow as we flow, like the railway locomotive that makes steam faster running than standing at the station. And if we do not know the right way, if we follow the highest calls of our being and learn the lessons of our bumps we are sure to get in the right channel sooner or later. Success is not tomorrow nor next year. Success is going the right direction, not arriving some-where. Success is not at the end of the journey, for there is no end. The Mississippi is just as successful in Minnesota as in Louisiana.”

so, so good.
