Imaginary Landscape
Piece of wood from the shed with Sharpie marks,
and colored beach glass glued on
Soaked in water from black rice
Embellished with more marker
and left for Hill house with notes on the back
Many Buddhas
(in a forest on a lake)
Wood chip used for dying fabric
Sharpie marks, rubbed for color
More embellishments
Final version
Turn-mountains appear
On the other side of the chip this eye
With a later addition of red
Photographed on location
Photographed at home
More Buddhas
Bits of beach glass from the shed and found tree bark
Two single Buddhas
inscribed with Sharpie marker for lack of etching tool
The notion of adding color to one
Soaked overnight in water
the color seems to hold but will fade when rubbed
Construction with Elmer's Glue
Wedged into the bark
Second layer of bark
Gift to Julian
Three Buddhas
Color
Local jeweler is Laser-drilling a hole
This one will be a wearable pendant

Amazing what you've made! I, too, have learned that a Sharpie is essential when traveling but in these parts a rock will have to do for a background -- beach glass sounds so wonderfully exotic.
fun
