my legs can now draw a perfect ellipse

So I spent the last hour attempting to feel comfortable on an elliptical machine at my new favorite hangout, the Y. Yeah, I Y now.  After being on the elliptical machine for 13 minutes, which was a serious feat in my opinion, I looked over only to notice the girl beside me had been on for 44 minutes and she wasn't even sweating! I powered on and managed to do 20 minutes total before stepping off with legs that no longer worked properly --they sorta kept climbing as I walked away. The girl beside me must have been an android...

After exercising and drinking too much tea,  I now can't seem to keep my brain calm enough to write an intelligible post. How about a photo of something I recently finished?
This is a shadowbox from the "life without iron" series.

Have a great Spring day.

Congrats on conquering the Elliptical machine, I used to go to the Y by my work...it's by far the best "gym" I've ever belonged to. My favorite part was eavesdropping on the spritely old ladies gossiping in the locker room.

Once again Leya, I love this piece. I LOVE it.
Maybe we can do a swap sometime?
How about an Art and vintage clothes swap, I think we're about the same size.

Hi there,
I found your blog and shop recently, and I really like your work! I was wondering whether that shadowbox would be up for sale? Thanks!

congrats on the elliptical...i too was on last night...only I stopped a bit short of finishing my thirty minutes and when I got off the lady next to me said "good job, you finished!" which made me feel a bit crabby, since, well, i really didn't finish. That was my day 2 back at the gym. I'm cyclical with my exercise ;)
Love your new art piece.

I've been visting for a little while now, but never commented. I was going to ask about the shadowbox too. I saw one in your shop, but I think it was already sold.

Hey, U Y? Cool! I've heard before that the more you sweat the fitter you are. Love the shadow box too.

You DO realise that she probably wasn't doing it correctly, i mean no sweat after 44 minutes?! If you're not sweating, it's not working.
Love the shadowbox.

Hi Leya, love, love, love the new shadow box - the colours, form, and presentation just brilliant! Congrats on getting back into a fitness routine - it's always hard to get it going but pays off in the end!

Just to let you know I am working on your Chibi and am awaiting for some new labels to come in before I send it to you - hopefully, I will get the labels this week and will send it to you first things next week.
