Whe I was a child, my Mother took me to lots of museums. Sometimes I thought it was boring but many times there were amazing inspirations there. Her love of art and craft have always been an inspiration to me.
On one vist, I recall seeing a particularly fascinating Japanese painting of the oean. I love oriental art. While searching the internet for it recently, I came across this amazing version of it which is completely made from bits of plastic. It has an amazing message.....

by supernova17 This triptych is based on the famous Japanese painting, “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”. Instead of paint, the colors are composed of 2.4 million pieces of plastic - the estimated amount of plastic that enter the world’s ocean’s every hour!
The paitining itself inspired me to start thinking about a new project... Here's a glimpse of it as seen through my working magnifying glass |
As you might imagine, I can only sit for so long looking through a magnifying glass and so I have to give my eyes regular sight breaks...
not to mention breaks that come with life....dinner, laundry, family, homework helper, scouts, etc.
I hope to complete this new cuff sometime this week. The little hand beaded goldfish is rising up out of the waves to deliver his gift, a pearl, to you.
Still have to finish the rest of the waves, create a closure and back it with a lovely soft felt...
"Miles to go before I sleep".........
