Super M

I made my grandson a superhero cape today. My goal was to make it wearable without anything tying around his neck. I hope he is OK with 'Super M', because I made that up without consulting him.

Book Sculpture - Ode to Pemberley

This idea was delivered to me in the middle of the night during a week I did not expect to be able to make something..... or anything.

House of Lords

This is the sweater my Dad had in high school from his residence house. He graduated from RJC in 1946.  

Now it is framed for my son.

M is for .....

Monkey. For a boy who likes "m" things.


I didn't want the monkey to look quite so disgruntled.

Sketchbook: Swarms - Transformation

My general preoccupation this year is "Can I change my mind?" Earlier in the year I did the brain transformations. Then I shifted to birds in flight without a good reason for why that contributes to the mind-changing question. Fortunately, I heard a rebroadcast of the Next Chapter (CBC Radio 1) from 2012 with Patrick Lane. Shelagh Rogers commented on the frequent recurrence of birds in his poetry. I did not write down the quote exactly, but managed to scribble down the idea he expressed that birds symbolize transformation: from the ground to the air. So, I conclude that I am still on track.
