Pardon the Diversion

-

Please excuse the slight diversion today.  But, I just had to share pictures of some amazing mushrooms my partner has managed to grow.  He purchased a mushroom growing kit from a local vegan/health food store.  His first attempt didn't produce much in the way of mushrooms.  So, it just sat on our plant shelf for a week or so.  Then all of a sudden out popped these beauties.  They are beautiful examples of oyster mushrooms.

The monsters were so excited they fell all over themselves.


Needless to say I created a wonderful pasta dish incorporating these odd fellows and it was quite tasty.  So, in some ways these mushrooms really were magic.  Just not the ones that produce bad trips.

Just had to share the fun.  Have a great day.

I'm sure these mushrooms were worth the wait. Besides being very tasty they look very pretty. Or should I say they did look very pretty until they were eaten. LOL

OK , without further ado here is my entry for the ADO Art Dolls Only challenge The Elements . Please go visit the ADO blog to see some of the great entries for this challenge. Introducing for the first time anywhere, the Mergoblin . He is the first of his kind to grace my blog and studio. Several of his relatives are planning a visit real soon. He is a polymer clay one of a kind sculpt. He has a recycled head that was made for an earlier project. The eyes are fresh water pearls that have been dyed. His tail is made from a type of willow tree. I know the photography isn't spectacular but, I wanted to get him up on the blog in time. Here is a closer view of his head area. This is the other side view. He is mounted on a wooden base suspended by a wire inserted into a brass tube. I painted the brass tube blue to match the stand. This was a fun challenge that got me to think outside my usual box. Hope you enjoy him.

You aren't seeing things.  I have posted this piece before.  But, this time is different.  I wanted to celebrate two things in my little life.  First is hitting 140 followers here on this blog.  I am so honored by the loyal friends who come and visit me and my art goings on.  Thank you for that support and encouragement.  Secondly, a good friend and artist I know really inspired me with her own unique spiritual perspectives on giving.  So, MarZel this is to honor your wonderful contribution to my world as well. The above piece is only about 6x8 inches in size.  But, it's spirit is mighty.  At least to me it is.  The intention while creating it was to honor the trees that are constantly sacrificed sometimes without thought or honor for humankind.  In many cases without a thought, just discarded because they are in our way.  The trees are our guardians, give us food, shelter, many things we use i...
