New photographs today. The raven is from last week in Neveda. The Sphinx Moth is from this morning. I saw the moth in a spider web, but it was not moving. Assuming he had been in this still position for some time (dead) I got my camera, at which time he moved and of course…

Mosaic Portal

Newly grouted mosaic portal, with ganesh and buddha with birds. Handmade ceramic birds and buddhas, smalti, glass and tile.  

Sea Goddess

The Sea Goddess is finally finished. Happy in her repose. This mosaic was made using ceramic pieces by potter, Mayah Martin (the face, foot and hands and ear) and very small bird and seahorse tiles by were created by Perry. She is 36″x18″.

New Bowl of New Tomatoes

Planted the tomatoes this February . We’ve been eating them almost everyday. New ceramics to hold the tomatoes … and of course a good photo op 🙂

Poppies… look out Dorothy… poppies…. poppies…

After casting poppy seeds to the sky over my garden (Thank you Ruth for the seeds) we now have flowers amidst the watermelon and the roses, between the kangaroo paw and the bachelor buttons and the wild cosmosity.
