~Autumn

That time of year we morn the passing,
delight in the beauty of the decay,
and hold a childlike sense of hope,
looking forward to the rebirth of spring.

”

A woman is like a butterfly….

If you want her to stay near you, but fly as she should,
you must not brush the dust off her magical wings,
nor control her essence in your hand…
her beauty will be held only by a stillness and purity of heart.”
~Andrew Hawkes

Things I Wish I’d Said!

~Long Face

Long Face is a plaster and wire fantasy mask measuring 20″ tall by 10″ at it’s widest. He was one of my first full sized masks and actually hung in the gable of my past Florida home for several years. Due to the layering of plaster and acrylic he seems to weather well. We recently mounted him in a recycled cedar fence board frame on a richly textured fabric. The overall piece measures 19″ wide by 29-1/4″ tall.

I do so love the Butterfly with all it’s erratic grace, endless presentations, and moments of complete still. dEj

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun
And find your shoulder to light on,
To bring you luck, happiness and riches
Today, tomorrow and beyond.
~Irish Blessing

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. ~Rabindranath Tagore

My Dragon and I collaborated on this head appliance designed with her alone in mind. I think she created an amazing paint finish with the perfect touch of accessories.
