Silence

“In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in an clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.” ~Mahatma Gandhi

Charging up the camera to get ready for hiking trip #2 this weekend up to Forest Park by the Audubon Society, hopefully soon to be followed by the long awaited trip to Clear Lake before the end of April...plus many more! I want to get a good shot and then try my hand at nature mosaic.

I am so happy the sun is coming out and the winter legs are getting used again. There is nothing quite so refreshing as the clean forest air.

I love the sweet smell of dawn -
our unique daily opportunity to smell time,
to smell opportunity -
each morning being, a new beginning.

I'm relatively new to deviant art and I'm currently doing a stained glass course... I've been looking for inspiration and I think I've found it!

You mosaics are pure awesome- the Wave Off Kanagaw in particular!

One of the things I don't like about Deviant art is that its flooded with fan art- and its hard to come across unique original art- but here is a breath of fresh air!

I admire your gallery. I especially liked the Dryad and the poem that went with it was grand!

Thank you! I would like to learn how to do more precise cutting, so I can do leaded stained glass as well but think I need to get a glass saw first!

The only time I need to use my glass saw in when I need to cut a piece that is too hard to cut by hand. Usually my leaf design or ornament design is too curvy. Most of the time I don't need to use the band saw. It's great also for cutting tile when I put some up in the shower. I was thrilled I could cut my own tile. Ha!
