Yes. For me, it is finding a new balance. I have spent most of the past
few years, literally out of my body... travelling into other people and
spiritual places to do my healing, teaching work. Home and body both were
neglected. It was very good for me, in other ways... my growing curve. I
turned to healing professionally, a year ago and I have finally gotten
comfortable with it. I am also finding I need the balance that getting out
more and doing art gives me. Transmuting karma junk into beauty. Getting
away from this desk..
After spending all week rearranging my house, I finished the week doing
a genital torture demonstration with 3 models for an audience of 50+ people
on Friday night. I am told there has not been one in this city since the
last time I did one, 4+ years ago. It was really fun!
I have been more active in the local fetish community the last few
weeks, for the first time since I became a hermit in 1997... and I am
discovering I have a wonderful reputation. I have been missed! It is very
nice.

Yes... I like that. Finding old stuff and re-using it in a new way to
express my own style. I consider "reduce, re-use, recycle" to be an art
challenge.

No, it can never capture it.
I had one of my first spiritual experiences in a church in many years,
looking at the Chagall windows in Mainz, Germany. I don't know what
happened to the time I spent there... I fell into them and my companion
said I was "gone" for quite a while. He brought me out of it because the
church was closing.
I don't have many photographs of my own work.. but I have uploaded one
into a new photo archive at the yahoogroups website. It was one of the last
pieces I did .. and had 3000 postcards made out of, before I realized that
spending all my days alone in my basement doing glass was not good for my
mental health, and was never likely to earn me a liveable income. Worried
friends were stopping by to drag me out to get some air.
I still have the postcards, too. They are all that remains of the
window, itself... besides the leftover glass. So, perhaps the photo does
capture it, after all. These things can last 1000 years, but the bubblehead
woman who I made if for had lost the hair salon it was made for, and the
head panel of the window itself, within two years. The window was the sign
for her salon, 8 1/2 feet wide, and months of work. Bloody work, because
the fire colored glass had ripples on the back that broke to razor edges
like a serrated blade.
Perhaps I will make a collage of the postcards... a kind of memorial to
the window itself, and to the mess that was that time of my life. To the
insecure artist who died so I could be born.

>Do I see a second source of income for you in my crystal ball?
<shrug> Maybe... but I am not putting that kind of pressure on myself.
Been there, done that... I will create them for my own pleasure, and what
happens to them after, will be as Goddess Wills. The art is in the doing. I
may give some as gifts.. tis the season... if they get done in time.
Mostly I am making them because there is some energy that wants to take
form in this way... Like the one I am seeing in my mind's eye right now. A
roughly faceted jewel, like a pirates lost treasure buried in sand, brought
to light by a ripple of tide flowing over it into a small pool... except
the the jewel is the size of your head.
An artist is a slave to their muse, eh?
Blessings..
