    Very very Much Enjoyed!

    Thanks for tumblr-n the goodies, too. Hope your back is stronger--one would have a bad back with Caro's conceptualized dreamer book? May yours be full of joy and light and autumn like days full with new carvings.

    Paula, I had to think of something to catch your attention :-)

    Thanks Shayla.

    Sacha, thank you.

    Laura T, the Henry Moore photo is magnificent isn't it?!

    Kathryn, I'm glad you liked my choice of images. There were so many to choose from.

    Mansuetude, my back is so much stronger and I'm back carving. So many ideas!! Caro's Dreamer Book really appealed to me. I think it's heavy with ideas :-)

    A wonderful way of saying it, and I so love it too!
    Would not want to carry it in my heart, was my first thought, then i thought, But even if we dream a whole world it is so light within us this dream power, pure energy threaded power, flowing into the heart eye and hand.

    Onward!

    Always interesting. Love your concepts for a theme and how you describe it through others works. An art in itself!

    What a wonderful collection of texture and surfaces. I am itching to run my hands over each and every object. And as for the holes? That adds another dimension to the sensual quality of each of these works!

The staff was South African as was the restaurant fare..it was all incredibly delightful! I'm ready for my safari now...

    The various interpretations made from one subject, never ceases to amaze me! I love the organic nature of Henry Moore's sculpture and I especially love the concept of being transported within the piece and looking beyond.
