The FINAL COUNTDOWN!! ...and then there was one! This project has been such a blast. If you haven't already noticed, I'm a complete novice. I've never done this kind of work before and for most of my life, when I've thought of myself as an artist (which took me a good twenty years to do), it was a writer/performer artist, not a hands-on, physical, start-from-nothing-and-make-something-visual kind of artist. So this experiment has been an eye opener. What can I say? Take a risk and SURPRISE YOURSELF! It's the greatest gift creativity offers.
Day seven brought with it thoughts of the wild, bohemian nature in each woman and its reflection in the world around us. My piece is entitled "Dreaming of Africa":
Silas turned it into "The Elephant's Bride":
and Aimee turned it into "Afrique":
And while we've been busy with full body art-slams and high hip-toss collage smackdowns, I must admit that a girl couldn't ask for two more brilliant, buoyant dueling companions. I am inspired. Who knows? Maybe some of these gems will wind up on greeting card shelves near you! They've certainly snuck their way into my dreams and waking visions. Everywhere I look now, I see colors and objects and faces rearranging themselves into designs of delight.
It's been worth every smack!
These are all so fantastique! Loving your blog.

Okay - there is absolutely NO WAY that I can choose one as the best ... I want them all! Please tell us what will happen to these?
