Almost

Ok, the pieces are almost done. I'm so stir-crazy...but I've got to finish.This is the last day to work on them. Got to finish the last marker work, wire them, repaint the edges, touch ups.
*deep breath* I've got a mini bottle of wine open now to hopefully help me relax enough to have my next cup of coffee. Brilliant, no? Don't answer.
SO here are some detail pics for you all of the madness I've been creating . All dealing in some way with suburban/mass desires and emerging architecures in cyberspace:
First one is called 'Private Waterfronts'. There are a bunch of those house/sparklegrass points throughout the piece.
/

Next we have 'Paradise Landing'
/

This is 'Rearranging Spaces', I think. I'm not sure of the title yet because I'm thinking of it more as a swirling biological process...akin to evolution in the primordial ooze;) but with our memories and desires taking form in cyberspace.
/

Detail of that piece, showing the lil 3D labyrinths..
/

And finally a shot one of the houses in 'Neighbors'. Here I'm getting a little wacky with detail. I'm not sure where to stop. This house is only partially 'furnished' right now..I still have to do the kitchen and other areas...but when I started adding tv sets and teddy bears in the other ones I got a weird not well feeling.;)The 3D effect is wokring quite well on this one with the layers. Wish i had time for another layer, but I don't.

In case someone new is reading, these are all done with layers of resin, paint, nails on wood.(and some glitter in the magic lawn areas).

oh and jsut in case I didn't mention it. THOSE ARE LOVELY!!! I really want to see them in person someday. I should find out the names of the local galleries and you should try to get a show. My area is small but it's much bigger than Bloomington so maybe it's not too small after all.

aw,thanks! You're too sweet.
I think now I've got to concentrate on making more of the art. I realize I just don't have enough new pieces- that if I DO get any additional opportunities, I'm so not ready for them!.
