Magic Love

Originally uploaded by love not fear

Finished another one. Learning a lot about love, myself, relationships in this process.

The love I have now is real, true, and lasting. I am so happy.

Also learning much about the logistical process of putting these pieces together. One major struggle I’m having is that the metal upon which I’m mounting everything is so thin, I’m having to mount the metal itself onto a piece of wood & hanging it with wire means it pulls away from the wall quite a bit.

Using the “teeth” style hooks may be an option, but there is so little control with those, I think. That, plus pounding them into the wood may break the glass in the artwork.

I may just be having to figure out how to cut my own metal and tack weld a box frame fro these pieces. If I pay Bitterroot Welding to do the same thing, it’s $60 a pop. Worth it, but I don’t have that kind of money for the amount of work I’m planning to produce with this series.

One of my Favorite Days Ever

Back in the studio after what seems to me like a long abscence. Completed four new pieces. Will write more about the process soon.

¡VIVA! May 15-16 @ Orchard Gardens in Missoula

The fine folks who are The Open Field Artists do it again with an amazing performance combining mysticism, magic, love and beauty while acknowledging the difficulties and atrocities of modern life.

From the moment of our arrival we were welcomed with love and peace by the OFA performers. The next 90 minutes or so were filled with emotion, inspiration and community.  Go to this performance.  You will be transformed.
