Phoenix

I've been so busy I haven't posted any of my recent art.

This piece is entitled Phoenix and is made with mostly tea papers.

It was one of my "Wing It" pieces, which I now realize is a pun.  Pretty much what happens with these pieces is I pick out the colors, cut everything up, and start making the piece without any plan.  Robert and I both think I'm just waiting for whatever bird it is that wants to appear.  The night before this bird appeared, I dreamed about a phoenix rising from the pages of a book.  Sure enough, when I looked at the collage the next day, there it was.

  2. They say your brain figures out things while you sleep. Sounds like that's what happened with this collage. BTW, you must drink a lot of tea. :)
