The joy of color in a glass. Getting drunk on Juicy Pixels... Priceless.

If you ask a poet, "What is home?"

They might reply

"A home protects and nourishes the soul."

My home, the physical place where we live,

is a funky, crowded, owner-built, cabin-like place

on a fantastic rock-moss-tree chunk of land.

I love living here.

My home, the spiritual place surrounding my soul,

is safe and supportive.

I love living here.

Home is my place of belonging,

the key to creativity, the dragonfly of the moment,

the heart of love, the flowers of beauty, the tree of life,

the kitty of whimsy, the pathway to inner peace,

the amber of courage, and the rabbit of gentle grace.

Here is the finished version of the layered Gutsdozer Bead Sprite, Mega Man included. This version is more stable than its predecessor, which was built more architecturally, with each layer base on perpendictular supports at varying heights of 1/2 - 2 inches. This new version is strictly consecutive layers built up like a topographical map, which provides more surface area to be glued with only a slight increase in weight.

16,000 + beads in this bead sprite.

Bead Embroidery, 2003, 8" x 10"

This piece is all about the blessing of a relatively close-knit family. We're not as close as sometimes I'd like, but we all like each other pretty well.

My brother, Thom, and I lost our biological father in a car accident when I was 5 and Thom was 3. That could have been a disaster, but Mom met and married a wonderful man 2 years later, who soon became our new Papa. I'm fortunate to have always felt that he was my dad, that he loved me as much as he loved his own 3 children, my other 2 brothers and sister.

I have no idea why I used chakra colors for this piece, or why I worked with a Goddess figure to represent health. I've never known much about chakra theory or particularly subscribed to other than Western treatments for health issues.

Maybe this piece portends something for me in the future. If so, maybe this dear, healthy Goddess (along with her association with growing plants and a little kitty-energy) will continue the blessing of good health as I grow older.

Einstein is a Polish Lowland Sheepdog, and he is named after the dog in the 1985 film Back to the Future. If you are interested in a custom beaded pin which is a different breed than Einstein, please contact the artist for more details.

The same scene with the star lit. Mental note for the next time I decide to do something like this - make sure that I have enough holes for the little led lights and also make sure that they are not that far apart.
