Not the best images...
I've been busy. The creative side of my brain has me out in my 'studio' as much as possible. I can only sit for so long and it's the same with standing. So I play a little at what I'm doing. The small crucifix's (or is it 'crucifii?) come from my fascination with the shape of the cross in art. Ever since I went to that gallery in Santa Fe...or was it Taos? Anyway, there was a display of folk art featuring the crucifix and I was captured by them. And now that I have a large collection of Black Walnut to work with, I'm going to make some larger pieces...
The large gourd is a work in progress...
The small gourd is finished. I was fascinated by the patterns that the mold/fungus had left on the shell and I outlined them before sealing it.

Looks like a map of the world with the after effects of global warming. Many islands...really an interesting pattern on the gourd
I have a couple like that. Some are washed with color and then sealed. Each one is different and it's fun to pick out the patterns with a fine point archival ink pen. The sealer then makes some of the lines 'fuzzy'.
