What Makes The Universe Flow?

"Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another.
Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman."~Margaret Fuller

Big Shoulders!

"I am an artist kind of by default; I see and act on things instinctually. My mind is always running with ideas...
If I didn't create, I think my shoulders would implode
from the stress of inactivity."
~Jesse Reno




I am so blessed to have some very strong shoulders to sometimes lean on and sometimes hold me up. Just showing the back of the shoulders of one of my #1 Supporters (did I not say I have many?).
   Here he is installing my first paper mosaic (made entirely of recycled magazine pages), and hanging in this amazing restaurant! Please check out their website and definitely visit and have the best food and service in Central Michigan! Latitude's in Howard City. @http://www.latitudes-steelheads.com/.  This place is where everyone knows your name.
    And, if you are ever bored on a Thursday night and find yourself near Lakeview, come on in to A Work of Art and try your hand at paper mosaic; you will become addicted; and your spouse may regret that you met me, but we try not to worry about all that! Have a great weekend snuggling with your favorite pair of shoulders.
Peace, Molly

Gratitude and Angel's Wings


"Gratitude is our most direct line to God and the angels.
If we take the time, no matter how crazy and troubled we feel,
we can find something to be thankful for."
~Terry Lynn Taylor

Here is the base for my next project! My amazing "metal man" Dave, is truly a "superhero" in my book! Now to decide what to attach to them. Hmmmm.... I have a couple ideas. Anyone interested in the process? Leave a comment letting me know. I love sharing! Peace.

"Bag of Tools"

"Isn't it strange
that princes and kings
and clowns that caper in sawdust rings
and common people
like you and me
are builders for eternity
Each is given a bag of tools
a shapeless mass
a book of rules
And each must make
ere life is flown
a stumbling block
or a stepping stone."
~R.L. Sharpe
