This past weekend has had so many art fragments in it - so I will share a few.
Well Saturday started with taking delivery of an electronic organ that was to be thrown in the rubbish tip.
The body of the organ - including keyboard will be installed down by the Mango trees on our block as an ageing installation - not a new idea but new for our block. I will remove all the electronics and give good speakers etc away; and use other electronic bits in Steampunk influenced pieces.

And then Saturday afternoon saw the completion of 10 Leaf-spoons - quite a shoal of them - 7 shown.

A varied and fulfilling art weekend!!!! Now for a glass of wine.
Oh the Portal of Memories is looking wonderful in the forest!! No wonder you are beaming :-)
ReplyDeleteR - yes a magic piece just suited to the environment - one could almost walk through into another dimension or time or set of lives. Thanks for your comment. Go well. B
Deletereading this made me feel tired. Love the portals amongst the trees.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Portal of Memories.. especially seeing it in place, wonderful.
ReplyDeleteP & VA - thanks for checking out the weekend's work. P - I think I might have been tired myself. VA - place can make the difference. B
ReplyDeleteThe Portal looks so good in that setting; your work looks beautiful in the gallery and my oh my we now have an organ to play with!
ReplyDeleteThe Portal looks just delicious and I am sooooo sad I gave away my old sewing machine when I left Clovelly. Will be visiting the portal next week and be able to appreciate it fully. x
