Creating Time Expansion...by William Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand, And heaven in a wildflower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. Who of us hasn't played with the of expanding time and space?

Go whereever your mind desires...

*This is one of my sculptures I let design itself. I kept the hole in the heart area where the clay got too thin. I thought it added to rather than took away. I could have repaired it, but my art teacher said not to fuss over imperfection, to let things be.

Formula for success...

*Ceramic sculpture of lady We all are born with an inward urge to do something special, write, dance and/or sing. It is a mistake to assume that desire is enough. I've been watching "So you think you can dance?" I see how many have an inborn desire and aptitude for dance. But, maybe, for lack of... Sign in to see full entry.
