Absolutely Brilliant!

What more can be said?

I would love them in my living room as they match my curtains!

Seriously, lovely work.

God bless.

Thank you both! Ha ha, Nigel, did you know a lot of people actually buy art that complements their furniture or wall colour?

Thanks, Julie.

This is the last piece of handmade paper I had, and it turned into something humorous. Don't know if it's obvious is to others though.

Erika, very nice. the second piece seems to hold my attentions and keeps me. I really like the fact that it is natural and relaxing. The pebbles are the perfect touch for a sense of nature. The autumn colors I really like that middle one I think you got something really special there.

Barb, thanks, you make me blush like a little girl. :lol:
DeVonna, thank you too, glad you like them. In fact the painted pebbles are growing on me so much I hope to develop them into sculpture somehow.

I love your originality creating such rare and interesting artwork.

You are a pure genius with your imagination incorporating nature into your artwork.

How did you make your paper? Did you make a wood pulp and pour it into a form? I never did this nor saw it done.

I really like the first and the third ones,...call me crazy, but they
ing to mind dancing. All out pure joy dancing. Maybe it's because I draw and paint figures myself that I'm starting to "see" them everywhere,............

2 Karens, thanks! First Karen over the top though. :lol: I posted a tutorial some time ago, you can see it here:

I tend to see figures in everything too, though I promised to myself to keep these non representational. Still, most viewers do see figures.
