| Grandma Turtle almost done! |
Work on Tesla's Revenge continues, always slower than we would wish, but hey any progress is good. The sad news is once more we were screwed over by the weasel we bought our motor package from. The motor controller we bought turned out to be defective, as this person and business has vanished from the face of the earth we have had to find a new, functional controller. Still with the wonder of modern on line ordering, through Amazon this time, we will have said replacement in a few days. Another week before we are mobile, hopefully.
It got so hot (how hot?), well we hit 116F as a real feel right before the 4th. Temperatures in the triple digits really put a crimp into the collage making; i'm afraid of dissolving the paper with sweat! So i turned to my embroidery, which has always been a hot weather project. It is very pleasant to sit in the cockpit, or under the drinking trees and stitch. As a result i have finished, almost, Grandmother Turtle.

| Tides Ebb, 6.24.18, 13.25 x 9.25" |
I still need to stitch a frame around the image. My plans are for a "frame" which looks like a series of tree branches. Yes! more stitching.
I am still working with the Tselkov imagery, although the stash is running low.

| Separation of Self, 5.27.18, 9 x 11.25 |
I have also branched out, working the Tselkov with other imagery and also started to use high end food photos for material.

| Left of Center, 7.5.18, 7.5 x 10.5" |
And although i am loath to bring politics into what is meant to be a blog about life and art i feel that i have no option but to use my art; to raise my voice in protest of the travesty that this country has become. So is born a new series of collage, collectively known as Watchers/Watching.

| Watcher #1, 7.9.18, 6.5 x 10.5" |
We all have a responsibility to make our voices heard, making art is one of the ways that i can speak.

| Watching #2, 7.10.18, 6.25 x 10.5" |
More later,
