I am a mixed media artist, author, photographer, and visual arts educator.
My husband David and I care for two mini-donkeys, two dogs, and two very big cats!
I love to travel and to read almost anything.
The myth of the Minotaur always fascinated me, and I had this boy doll, see. Found a single bookend (not a pair, mind you!) with a bull on it, and then a wooden shelf-hanging thing at the thrift shop. I had to take out one of the shelves, then add my very own "grotto" or cave from the labyrinth. Foam insulation from a can did the trick. Some cutting, glueing, and painting ensued, as well as a few Halloween decorations and yes, those tiny swords that spear olives in a bar! Not that I drink or anything, heh heh.
Lots of texture!
This can be wall-hung or free-standing. Why not try your own interpretation of a myth or legend? Pick one that really inspires you!

ReplyDeleteOops. I just tried to reply twice...talk about overkill. Hope it's okay to reciprocate your kindness on my own blog.
