The Four Elements - Judy

I really tried to work with the alchemical elements but my brain kept swerving off toward the actual elements.  So I ended up with curvy logs representing four earth elements as building blocks, occurring in veins.  This piece is a journal page, hence the odd shape.  The backside didn't work out according to plan, but I posted a photo of it on my blog if you'd like to see.  I really enjoyed the improvisational piecing and have been working on two additional pieces since finishing this one.

    I too like your thought on the theme, and very out of the box for finishing. I like it a lot.

    I wish I could do work like you. You have ideas that are
    beyond my ken and yet they turn out so beautifully.
