Explaining


From the photo below you can clearly see why Amelia is sometimes called the Great White Zeppelin. It is in no way a derogatory comment on her weight, size or shape. Zeppelins are, for their size, quite light, so much so in fact that they float. Amelia is such such a mellow girl that I can, gently always, scoop her up, fore and aft as it were, and float her up like one of the great airships of the past. Like a Zeppelin she is lighter than she looks, possibly because of her very balanced and modern streamlined design.

Here Tyler is resting his head on his rock. The lower part of the other side of him is in the sun and he has essentially put himself into a trance. I say this because I had to put him into his pen, when I picked him up he was like the rock he had used as his pillow. Heavy, dense, in love with gravity. He may not have even noticed his transport to another bun zone.

And finally Sydney and Tyler just after a modest dinner, Tyler is exhausted from an entire day of being as cute as possible. Note: this is the exact same place as the rock episode above, "furniture" was moved for cleaning.

Today a Plan

02/10/1011 Metal Rabbit Plan (Amelia as model)

Today's rabbit is, as you can see, a drawing; a stylized Amelia, AKA the Great White Zeppelin, demands her due pet. It is a plan for a print for the Baren Forum Year of the Rabbit Print Exchange. I'll print in my usual Moku Hanga method; carving and printing each color separately by hand; each print will be slightly different because I am human, not machine; but each one individually special, packed with the Qi of the all moments that went into it from the papermakers, to tool makers, to the tree, the pigment and the brushes. Really as the artist, carver and printer I play a small part and feel humbled by that. For some art is self expression, I do not find this to be true for myself. I ask each print from start to finish "what do you want to be? how can I help? what is right for this print".
