the imago series
Here are a few shots of a new shadowbox series I completed over the weekend. {Actually I'm going to be adding another four pieces or maybe more to it, but round one is done at least.}
After taking time last week away from blogging AND flickr (it can be addictive, you know), I think I may start doing one week a month of photo-only posts -- I seem to get a lot more accomplished when I take a break from the time-warping computer.
I hope your weekend was fun. I certainly had a good one. It was not only filled with crafting, but a smashing dinner party with the best shiitaki mushrooms ever, sunday brunch with the lovely Sue and her boy and several hours spent watching episodes of Lost on dvd. A good weekend indeed.
more soon,
l.
oh how i love them all so, my favorite is the brown and green top right WOOOOWWWZA!!!

I have a definite obsession with butterflies, and these shadow boxes are beautiful! Are you selling them in your store or on etsy?

The longer I do this the shorter my posts seem to become; they ARE time consuming to write. What takes someone less that a minute to read can take an hour to post (at least that is my story- I'm moving towards to the point, short + sweet). My boy has mentioned my shorter posts, but dems da breaks, babycakes!
Your work is looking amazing! Love the repetition of form- I am a sucker for grids + repetition therefore a sucker for these pieces! (If A=B & B=C then A=C) Have a great day

Really love all your shadow boxes - glad to see you doing more of them.

Really beautiful, Leya! It would be hard to have just one on my wall!

These are very clever and lovely eye candy. My favorite is the top right - something about the human forms, birds on the wing, and butterfly combo...I like that.
