going deeper

one of the things i love best about maturing as a crafts person
is the understanding you gain about yourself

and how you relate to others.

which is naturally also the insight you gain
as a maturing person,

with the application of different materials 
but not necessarily different methods.

  1. A very insightful thought.

    There is one very important thing about maturing and relating to people that I have learned; you are a much happier person when you are able to eliminate from your life the people that do not make you feel good about yourself.

    I love your fiber work. A sure sign that you have found your truth.

  2. MJ - the offerings that others have given me over time has been part of that maturing. I notice also how the detail or fragments of work take on greater meaning and importance. B

  3. These are lovely pieces M-J; showing the sensitivity and delicacy your metal works always did. Is that a hint of Habu I see???? they seem light as leaves...

  6. You are ever evolving, and always vibrant. It's wonderful to see you slip so easily into another medium. I agree, my artistic journey has mostly consisted of learning about myself, while picking up some knowledge about materials and techniques along the way. Your journey is beautiful, as are you.

  8. I think it is the mark of a true artist that they can move seamlessly from one medium to another-- we just have to understand that it's a gift from the Universe to be nudged from one thing to another, rather than a trial. But it takes a really big person to get that and you are one of the rare ones who does.
