All things considered, I’m pretty satisfied with how my donation to the Rainbow of Art Auction turned out. Some of the original design elements were chucked at the last minute, however, because they just didn’t turn out as fantastic as the image in my brain during the conception phase of the project. Mainly, the plexiglass portion incorporating written words and clay bees. Sometimes less is more. It might be worth trying again on a smaller scale someday. Writing in plexiglass is done in mirror image and it was tedious to say the least.
I had to remove the glass front to photograph the piece - too much glare. As with anything, I learned a lot along the way. My only regret is that I didn’t get to live with it a little longer. Yesterday, I did receive a really nice phone call from one of the organizers of the event, Joseph Moore, complementing and thanking me for my donation to the Rainbow of Art Auction. Overall, this has been a refreshing project to work on.
It’s 5:15 am here in Denver and I’m leaving for my 9 mile group run in about 15 minutes, so I’ll keep this post short. My mother thinks I babble too much in my posts so, for a change, I’m signing off.
I hope everyone has a good weekend,
~Cynthia
