Leaves and windows

[avad]

Carving wood in my basement studio...covered in sawdust...listening to Amon Tobin. My moods have been much better. Every once in a while I take a break and dust myself off, take off my goggles and peer around. The light is grey and wet. I stare at the windows and find even the cobwebs interesting. I get my camera and lose myself in details..time folds...and once again I feel odd, awake and dreaming. My love calls me up for a dinner he made.(!):) My eyes are still 'on'...everything sparkles..the moisture on my glass...the beads of oil in the salad dressing...the colors of plate and metal shining...the angles and placement perfect, I am cropping perfect compositions everywhere I gaze..it is all just too much.
These are bits from the windows downstairs....there are paintings everywhere I look..

:) yep, I've been using a dremel lately. I know I should try hand tools one day...but I do like the dremel and am just learning to use different bits...
Carving is just one small part of the piece...I must admit I'm a little impatient to get it to the next stage.
one day I will try the handtools. I know a lot of people swear by them.:)

B and I just slept from 5 to 9.(!) It's absurd...good ol' Milli Vanilli crooning in our mind's ears: "blame it on the rain...that was softly falling...". Will it ever ever end?

Sometimes I get this feeling you're describing - everything in the universe turns to a perfect kind of beauty, and a sense of awe washes over me. It strikes me how perfect contrast and universal coordination appear amidst the things we take for granted. The universe is truly exquisite, when you are able to look at it in this light. It is wonderful.
