Here's what I've been working on lately--some new cages in some new shapes! A before and after view. This time I've painted some found wooden squares as bases for the larger cages. Do you like the addition of the wood? I'm trying a bit more solid and substantial look.
Oh and also a short story about the found wood--my 13 year old son Murphy and I were in the car one day and drove by a house that had a pile of discarded wood laying by their driveway. I stopped to pick it up (who wouldn't) and as I'm getting the wood Murphy started laying on the horn--he was trying to rattle me, but the people who lived there looked out and saw me and just went back to what they were doing....I told him I don't get embarrassed by picking through other people's trash. He didn't understand. I think we may get embarrassed by different things.

Very cool! Love the striped bases and it makes it even better that there is a story behind them. Trash to treasure!!
Love these pieces... your work is always beautiful. Mandy x
Love the addition of the wood. I trained my son from a young age that "dumpster diving" is a great way to get neat things for free! In fact he will point out things at the ends of driveways that even I don't see...lol...though I don't know how long this will last now that he has become a teen and like yours seems to be embarassed by almost anything I do......
