Arranging mixed media bits ... 

 Mixed media pieces, in various stages of development are piling up ... it's a lovely feeling to reach the (almost) completion of a couple of works!

I have come to accept the reality (epiphany!) that all my work goes through many lives and manifestations (even with my best of intentions to work in a linear line of creation). It is a long journey for most with numerous metamorphosis stages, sometimes spending long periods of time in one form, only to be suddenly, unrecognizably transformed into a new entity.

​That is my process, and their journeys are my daily mediations - I respect and love each piece and am grateful for their creation.

Rearranged a few large pieces on the wall to apply more layers. It is almost time for a session of 'taking away' with my lovely palm-sander and then more layers of paint and paper.

Various sizes and stages of development ... one step forward, two steps back somedays!
