I would have loved to have taught school with you!!! I appreciate you and the fact that you're "out of the box." The colors are most vibrant and I especially like the ways in which you changed the shape.

Wow this is wonderful I love everything about it. I also love that you can't absorb it in one look so you are drawn to study all the movement going on in the piece. Great stuff.

Wow. To say I love this piece would be an understatement. Just fabulous. Your artful eye and use of color gives this piece so much energy it seems to be dancing!

Thanks so much Carol. It's a fun technique, and I can see myself incorporating it into other art. In fact, I've already started another piece using some of the ideas. Fun!
