want "eat" for yourself?

i finished this collage (technically it should be called an assemblage) last week, and posted here on the blog. i had several comments from folks who really liked it and some who were interested in having me make another one. so i've decided to do this. since it is a labor-intensive project, and requires the purchase of some materials, i am offering myself to be commissioned to make a collage like the one above for you. here are the details:

you tell me what color(s) you would prefer, and i will make something pretty similar to one i've made above. i will charge $100 in order to cover both the cost of materials (canvas, glue, paints, etc) and my time. if nobody takes this offer that's fine, or if 10 people do, that's fine, too. just leave a comment here or email me and i will get started as soon as i can.

as always, i continue to appreciate the support many of you have given me in terms of my art and creativity. learning to glue things together in a way that not only interests and intrigues me, but also speaks to others and rings with a certain truth and cosmos (to borrow an idea from madeline l'engle) has been an incredible journey. i hope that i have only just begun this journey, and i appreciate those who have journeyed along, in your own way. i'm fascinated to see where it leads, and determined to enjoy each step along the way.

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh. one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.' when you do so, some of the following gems show up. thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up. otherwise, it would certianly make this list! please laugh freely and without inhibition. thank you and have a nice day.

affirmed

i cannot express today the feeling i have. this picture that i found sort of expresses it but not really. for the last ten years i have poured myself into this vocation, daring to believe that God, the very God of all creation, has called me, even me, to this work. along the way many have affirmed me in this journey, but i have continued to work for the ultimate affirmation, ordination as an elder in the united methodist church. and now i have it. after two grueling (and i mean grueling in every possible sense, really) days i recieved the call today that the board voted to recommend me to the annual conference for ordination as an elder. and as i have already said, i cannot even begin to express the emotion i feel with words like relief, joy and satisfaction. there will be plenty of time for me to reflect on this and i will have more to say about it as i do that reflecting, but today is really a day for celebrating for me, and for thanking those who have journeyed with me and s...
