:: Do You Knead Eraser Therapy?

O.K. so I'm a little high strung. I know it. So when I'm supposed to be drawing thumbnails of new pieces and doing something creative with my time I get nervous.

About 11 years ago I discovered . . . the kneaded eraser! I think sometimes I spend more time pulling and stretching and sculpting with that thing than I do sketching and concentrating on what I am supposed to be doing.

I took these photos on Sunday afternoon. Both of these 'masterpieces' of eraser art were created, and squished, in about 10 minutes so you can imagine how many of these silly things I've made in the last 11 years . . . it must be in the thousands!

Did I miss my calling as a sculptor . . . I think not.

Tell me I'm not alone! I want to hear from the "Eraser People"!

:: The Torn Wing Dragonfly, born 7.7.07

I have discovered yet another new species! This new member of the Odonata (dragonfly and damselfly) family was born on July 7, 2007.

I really do think he has been a lucky charm, maybe because of his birth date, maybe because I want him to be, either way my painfully long artistic dry spell seems to have come to an end. I've finished 4 other pieces and sketched out another 3 just since I finished him.

He is my favorite painting to date and I am tempted to keep him but I think that passing him on to another is the right thing to do. Perhaps he will lift the spirits and bring change to their lives to.
