quotidian inspiration 4

This video from Jem made me dizzy when I watch it the first time. However, after they explained how they made the video, I was floored and watched it three more times. Make sure you watch to the end so that you too will know the secret.

ear art

Yes, you heard right. Ear art. Art that depicts an ear.

A few weeks ago I suddenly got the desire to do a collage piece depicting an ear. I thought that my inspiration channel in my brain was really looking for anything to amuse me with, but I heeded the call and sat down to make an ear.

I used a tiny wood block that Joseph bought me for my birthday, so this one is dedicated to him.
Here is my ear piece:

Personally, I like that you can still see the wood grain through the paint.


I was listening to some beautiful music at the time and that is where the swirling lines come in. However, when I look at it, it seems like the lines are coming out of the ear, like wind passing from in one side and out the other.
