Summer in Maine is a very short season, meant to be celebrated and enjoyed. We've been juggling things, as people do. Art got set aside for a while in the process.
Summer is over now, so to prime the pump, I pulled out some supplies, and did a quick example of a crayon rubbing for a larger project I'm working on. This is the flower stem from a heuchera plant. It was made using a red Oldestone wax rubbing cupcake onto simple copy paper. I'm reproducing what nature has made, so I can't call it my art - at least not yet, until I use it intentionally in a larger work. I have some ideas I'm working on. I love how the bloom stems look like a briar stitch on an old crazy quilt. For now, I am "documenting what IS" in more ways than one.
