Remember the huge collage that wanted to be a book?  (Flexing Fingers - October 7)  This is it:

An Experiment With Eggs

I went crazy on this and it became a slideshow after I invented a few new techno-curse words! Is there a way to put a slideshow on a blog?  If so, my next project is a dictionary of those words...

Flexing Fingers

Jane LaFazio's class Mixed Media with Paper and Cloth started Monday. This gynormous collage is the first phase of a project that will become a book. Watch this space...

Tamale is Another Day

Visited art studios in Barrio Logan. Ate rolled tacos and sketched on a street corner under an umbrella. That's the Coronado Bridge in the distance. Plan to return tomorrow.  Saw a great sculpture made out of typewriter parts! http://devicegallery.com/galleries/mayer/mayer.html

Ladies of the Garden

This "one foot" painting was accepted for the  show opening July 30 at San Diego Art Institute in Balboa Park!  First submitted in February, now second try successful.  This inspires me to submit something for every show, even if previously rejected.  Is my cocoon leaking?
