She is Dreaming

Neon44250

Woven leather ribbons in neon pink and blue against a black void.  It's the edge of something.  But what?

Confetti Buttons

Confettiwheels250

Pretty much what it says:  pewter "buttons" with brass rims decorated with blue, pale green, and vermilion "confetti."  The background is black spotted with green.  Definitely a retro look, like something you might unearth from your late great aunt's junk jewelry drawer or sewing basket.   The rather somber background undercuts any hint of frivolity (and the dark pewter color of the "buttons" do their part as well.  They have the enigmatic look of objects whose function is known but no longer relevant and which cry out to be repurposed.   It seems somehow wrong to throw them away.

California Dreaming

Letitia250

A tribute to one great classic of the Sixties and to all the things that seemed like a good idea at the time.  Purple stripes on a brilliant apricot background with a silken surface bisected by a row of little sandal shaped purple thingies.

Book of Changes: Hexagram 29 (The Chasm)

250jpg

The watery abyss is dangerous, but danger is the route to opportunity.  You just have to step carefully to keep from falling in.  This means slow progress toward the objective.

Hard to describe this image.  Lots of shiny blue and gold, the top is a haze of rose color.

Book of Changes: Hexagrams 19 & 20 (Approach & Contemplation)

250232

Presumably you can tell which one is which.  A pretty image in ceramic, glass, and gold:  a rim of rose, violet, royal blue, cobalt, gold and gold surrounding a glass center, blue with a black octagonal "iris" surrounded by a gold rim.  "Approach" is off center, revealing "corridors" in gold, royal blue and black, and a background of violet and purple stripes.  "Contemplation: is centered, surrounded by a design in the same pattern as the rim of the wheel.
