Another project that took me in completely different direction was the local performing arts rehearsal space, Lezarts Loco, was having a fund raiser and asked local artists to interpret their name in whatever medium they chose. I, of course said sure, and promptly forgot all about it. The week before the auction, the director bumped into me at a concert and said how much he was looking forward to seeing the entries. WHOOPS! I came home and that night stayed up looking at images of lizards, thinking of a design. By the next afternoon, my little sculpture was roughly done and the rest was fiddling& polishing. It rained all week so it had to be put it in the kitchen oven to dry. I got it out of the pit fire, gave it a polish and entered the auction just as the tags were being put on. To my astonishment it fetched the highest bid, and won the juries prize. The project was all fun, that's what it must be about. Anyway, that's inspiring me right now, being turned on . We'll see what comes up next.
