COLLAGE.... I just finished this collage today......You can't see the nice black frame because it's such an awkward shape to photograph......It's 2 by 4 ft....a pre-framed piece of 1/2 inch plywood built as a display for my good friend Meiling for her pottery pieces,but never used. She passed a year ago.....We did many exchanges, but before she died she brought me back a painting I had done of a mermaid that I exchanged for a gorgeous Raku vase which still proudly stands on my windowsill after 20 years.....She told me she always felt her contributions were never enough.......What I wouldn't give for just one more hour with her...... So I decided to make this awkward framed plywood into something in memory of her........my beloved friend. The coil of life....I painted the coil and the background is all National Geographic photos. |

The first thing that grabbed my attention is the coil itself. The coil of life. It's not a perfect textbook mechanical coil. It rambles, unpredictably, just like the coil that runs through all our lives! Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Yes she was.....Born in Malaysia of Chinese parents, educated at top English boarding schools and colleges......Very unique accent......When she knew she was dying, she got a lawyer and arranged for her beautiful waterfront property to be held in a nature-trust for perpetuity....

Lovely tribute to your very dear friend. She must have been a very special lady indeed.
