Often collectors tell me later, after living with pieces for awhile, that they've discovered hidden details. <br />I especially like that.<br /><br />D. I. Training: I did not know that. Thank you. I feel a debt of grattitude especially now for his work and what it taught me. He changed my vision. No doubt I'm in a great deal of company. <br /><br />ulffriend: You do have vision, obviously, otherwise you wouldn't feel the spark in someone else's words or see for yourself the connection between humans and animals. I always enjoy your input.<br /><br />yemamaya: True enough, the recession has colored us all. Still, it's made us stronger. I'm glad, for one, to have Poppets with me. They help me step back and focus on things that matter more to me. Help me find the little joys in the days-- even the difficult ones.lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410230007560550179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-27772575332698257172011-10-15T16:32:12.637-07:002011-10-15T16:32:12.637-07:00Diandra: Thank you!

I'm still discovering it, even as I work on their book.<br /><br />mordicai: That DOES feel right. Interesting. I have a theory too--that tattoos and piercings gained widespread acceptance in preparation for technological body modification. <br />Twitter could lead to Borg. Think not?<br /><br />Jo: I look forward your photos. Well spoken - I like the idea of hidden worlds underneath the green.

Your thoughts about the connection and playfulness of early humans sparked something in me, because I've noticed it several times: not just humans, but all mammals that I've observed love and play. It may sound odd, but seeing the mother goat comforting her kid after he has had a fright, or seeing young calves frolic in the field, something about that makes me feel very connected to other living things.<br /><br />So that has little to do with art. But your musings on October remind me of why I love this month so much. In Appalachia it's a time of colors and wonderfully clear bright light. This is the time of year that makes me wish I had your eye to see it with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-62264743364378170202011-10-12T15:15:49.557-07:002011-10-12T15:15:49.557-07:00October has given me some of my more interesting p...October has given me some of my more interesting poppet photos, and as the colors change, and things are revealed underneath all the green, I find worlds to discover.<br /><br />So, thank YOU.<br /><br />Also - quite intrigued by the photo of the poppet and the green lettuce-y beasty. :)Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03456689516505172959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-49407850233004494322011-10-12T10:38:17.621-07:002011-10-12T10:38:17.621-07:00Bone beasts!

Anyhow, I have a pet theory-- held over from my undergrad anthropology days-- that the reason for the ubiquity of the cell phone is the SHAPE as much as anything else. The shape is basically identical to an Acheulean hand-axe, a technology that Homo has had since before it was sapiens. I think it just FEELS right, in part of the ape brain.mordicaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05713766652793265867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9604161.post-88374220608220909272011-10-12T09:19:59.781-07:002011-10-12T09:19:59.781-07:00I hopped over to your shop, and GIL THAT CHESS GAM...I hopped over to your shop, and GIL THAT CHESS GAME IS GORGEOUS. Sorry, I am squealing. If I were rich (or anything but "poor former student), I'd totally buy it. Maybe I can at least afford one other small piece of art next month, in case I get a bonus... *sigh*<br /><br />(Our poppets are residing in the livingroom. Strange enough, the cats - who will eat, break or toss everything - are leaving them alone. What could I learn about the secret powers of poppets?)Diandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14570498251611083259noreply@blogger.com
