Art on Friday is one of the mantras in our household - though art comes in all forms. Today I met with a 'wood artisan' who contacted me and said he had a gift of rusted tools that had come from a friend who died recently. I spent sometime admiring his creativity and
workshop - ended up with a severe case of equipment envy. I travelled to
Montville with
Noela and Fiona to deliver
Fiona's metal books and dream boats and
Bazola (
Noela and I) pieces to Mark at Main Street Gallery. And after mowing the front of our block I did finish a couple of meditation bowls and a
foldformed leaf. So a varied art Friday.
The bowl above is made from new copper and has a focus on the present - so the wording is
Now, Be, Centred, Here. It can be read from any point and makes sense - live in the present.
The second bowl looks weary and worn as it is made from copper recycled from a laundry boiler. However is invites one to Live, Laugh and have Light in whatever moment we find ourselves - even when weary and worn.
The leaf is made from a silver plated tray. Something beautiful from something so utilitarian. I think it will be a gift for a friend.
