I'm working out my lesson plan

I've been working out my lesson plan for a course I'll be offering (so far through the Mont. Rec. Dept.) this Jan. If I don't get any takers I'll put it in the spring catalog. It's a way that I balance my life and merge my abilities and interests. I'm also looking for a job to pay for my dreams while they are young. It's all coming together nicely and my intentions are true. I have to get in flow and away we go. Meanwhile in the sculpture part of my brain is a steady input of ideas for the next work I'll undertake. This is sometimes a slow process especially if I have some pressing project ahead of it like I do now. Stay true my strength stay true.

Ta Da here it is...






I'm posting my latest granite flower sculpture for you. It has a 12" bronze insert and a good amount of weight to it; from conception to finish about a years' worth of attention and varying degrees of energies. I'm exhausted and content and will take a couple of weeks to decompress. I'm referring to the center of it as the fourth dimension bcuz that's where you can go if you are willing and able. Because my work was co-created with my art spirit helpers, there is alot of information they pass through me. This aspect of my art is alot of fun for me to learn and grow with.

sometimes you eat the stone, sometimes the stone eats you

...this is so very true; parts of the stone are soft and other parts super hard. This helps to remind me of the living quality that initially formed it ages ago.

It sometimes takes me 3 hours before I can get in flow with my work. As my deadline approaches It seems to take less time. Today was a good work day; I felt a part of some larger creative force field and comforted by being present. Today the stone yielded to my every move and co-operated like a true co-creation! I love these days and now know better than to take them for granted.

back to it

....deadline pressure, can I make it, yes? ...ok really i can do it I will do it I must do it.. My mind is saying compound curves are fun now that I've spent hours perfecting them (thank god for more stone).
On to the next layer of petals; not so many curves, veins baby veins. -Have new diamonds to finish and will be getting to it soon. May the highest creativity find me today and guide my hands cuz I need assistants! hahaha- where oh where have they gone?

Placement Ideas

Some people may wonder where would I put this sculpture; let me be your guide. One idea would be that if you have or would like to start a walking path in a garden or just a pathway; instead of carefully placing words to express emotions at certain intersections; create living words through granite sculptures.

yeaaah

My "center pattern" is at the foundry now and will be poured in bronze soon after it is prepared. I am very excited and it feels like I'm waiting to see my new baby.

I have been working steadily on the surface of my stone design and creating petals that surround the center. I love this part because it is so demanding and entertaining, simultaneously. I have made a breakthrough and my eyes are full of gratitude for all the talented sculptors that came before me to lite the way.

I feel the presence of my art guides throughout this whole process; I love them so much and they are among my most dear friends.

It seems as if I can't quite move my hands fast enough to keep up with the visual information that is currently streaming through my consciousness. I am following my intuition like my teacher has taught and trusting it with all my heart.

The flowers are giving me so much to work with. Each a universe for ideas, and so happy that they're noticed and apreciated!

I'm getting ready to bring four sculptures to "The Tower Botanical Society Garden" in Mass. at the end of Sept. They will be on display for the month of Oct. along with 15 other artists. So nice ... to have a home for my work. I feel that the soon to be owner of my work will be of a discerning nature and so I try harder to make my vision clearer.

This is how I would die
into the love I have for you:
as pieces of cloud
dissolve in sunlight.

The Center Design


Here is the model for the center of my new stone sculpture which will be done in bronze later on.
I was inspired by fiddleheads; the brown center pieces are acorn tops that I found on my walk.

The Center has Materialized

Wow what a long process this center design has been! Finally completed and awaiting a photo to document it ; I am at peace. Can anyone relate to the utter restlessness one experiences whilst in the throes of creative works?

Look my heart is opened!

Creations



I stopped making these birdbaths because my cat ate this sweet wild bird that I had encouraged to come, drink and bath.





Part of why I do what I do with sculpture is because of my intuition. The visualizations I have seem to be downloaded from above. I access these visions through my imagination. Without the strength of my intuition, creative ideas are not as vivid.
