I am the finder of lost pennies, rusty bottle caps, unique sticks, rocks and other assorted treasures. As a child I was always looking down at the ground to find these cast off treasures. My mom said that someday I'd run into a pole . . . I did once on a family vacation!
I am enjoying the process of using these fun, funky things in my art, along with my ever growing fabric collection! However, that is another story and another blog post.
Above is a little piece I created out of a twig that I found on a hike in the Sangre de Christo mountains a few miles from our home here in Santa Fe. It is a glorious peace-filled place that we love to frequent as often as we can.
The beads are salvaged from another piece of art that met its demise due to our strong spring winds and the peace sign was handcrafted by myself from terra cotta clay.
Namaste.
