RADIANCE by Ellery Lewis |
1. Ellery describes this beauty..."inspired by the pattern of douglas fir cone scales, really cool that the dry, dead-looking cones contain the ability to give life to new trees". WONDERFUL!

NEW YORK - BULL in ink by Diane McWhirter |
2. This from Diane: "Many things inspire me and I think that for every piece of art created there is someone, somewhere just waiting to love it. You just have to believe they will find each other".
Now what I love about this piece all the way from Canberra, Australia, is that she is exactly right about a piece finding the right person, because I live in New York, and my sign is Taurus the Bull!

LAVENDER by Terry Owenby |
|
3. I just love this wonderful collage inspired by a wonderful bar of lavender soap gifted to Terry by her sister. She even used pieces of the box that the soap came in, along with a very cool item that I absolutely love, vintage book binding cloth. Inspired me to delve into a collage of my own using some of my stash.
