Studio Update - January 23, 2007

It may not look like it from the outside, but I've been busy toiling away in the studio. I have four pieces that I'm very excited about in various stages of completion. Well, it's actually five...

One of these pieces will be made with mouse bones! It's been a while since I used this subject and medium. I got them with the help of a barn owl. I can't say that no mice were harmed in the making of this piece, but at least it was natural selection.

I'm in the sorting stage of the mouse project, and I'm really struck by the spectrum of colors I'm seeing. I think some of these bones must be very old. (Click on the image to see them up close.)
