Puja
Just a few more days work and the hammmering part of Puja/Prayers will be done.
Mixed feelings as usual, part of me longing for completion, part of me sad that I won't be working on it everyday anymore, as it's become such a soothing part of my days. But I will make others, and my 'training' is far from over. Still it is difficult to concentrate. To harness my thoughts and work with them. To make a 'sound' with the best of me and send it out.

From a distance that could look like some small type in an alien language written really small.
What would it say?
peace.

Well, the process is actually the most important part of the piece,much more than the finished product, so nope, no nailgun possibility.;) For each nail, I am thinking a thought, a prayer and sending it out. It's an exercise, a meditation that I chose to do.
Here are other similar pieces (http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=2041967&uid=135657) ..some where I am really writing out the thoughts in a code based on the size and sequence of how it would be in english. :)

And wow, magic is right! I just looked at some of the pieces you posted pics of and i'm beside myself in awe! A friend saw them on my screen and asked for the link too... One day i will commission you to make me the most beautiful bed of nails ever and ask you to lie on it with me.
I feel odd encouraging artists to keep doing what they are doing, because even more than most people we need to grow and evolve and experiment with our world, our medium, trying out all the wonderous and pnderous things that manifest within us. But i also know that praise is all that keeps you going somtimes and that you undoubtedly deserve it.
Pound a nail for me, even if it's just one, in some nameless work that never gets shown. The impact of metal against metal creates magnetic and electrical current that anyone can feel, even from here.
