EXPLANATION OF THIS PIECE:

 

i find lately that i am preoccupied with making shrines. i just finished this one. am working on the next one and already have an idea for the third one.

thanks to pete i began thinking about why i was on "shrine" making .

 

there is a reason for shrines, totems and altars. i hadn't thought of it until pete's comment.

my husband is having a problem with his eyes and has to have surgery beginning of july. i think i am creating (unconsciously) shrines to send him good vibes/thoughts/quick & easy healing.
