I do like the idea of including found object in art work Seth - there is so much beauty to be picked up on the ground - I collect feathers and try to incorporate them in my textiles - a friend has such an eye for collecting that she sees the most beautiful stones, pieces of flint, fossils etc. Speaking of found objects a huge load of anglo saxon gold found in Staffordshire has just gone on show here in the UK - what an exciting find that would have been!
Beautiful, Seth. I love it.
Great piece Seth! The texture and the found objects are a beautiful combination!
all the layers are fantastic!
the colors are rich and gorgeous...and the best
mixed media!
wonderful piece
:)
My daughter would love that, all the rusty things in there- wonderful!
She found some rusty things in the fields near our house, all guarding them in her treasurebox now. Children are great finder.
As a fellow collector, I covet your rusty metal stuff-- and of course the Asian symbols.
Don't you feel like a little kid on an Easter egg hunt when you find a "found object"? I grin and carry on and my family understands. :)Bea
This one is so rich and exotic ..... and of course it has sold already!
I love these rusty parts you find.
Fantastic! I too am using more "found" objects... it's amazing what's out there just waiting for us to love it and turn it into something other than a throwaway, isn't it?
LOVE the colours in this, they speak very clearly to me.
Take care,

Looking great, Seth!

Lynne Hoppe says you like apple pie in Sept, is that true? She says its a virgo thing!
Love this one, Seth! A really beautiful piece.
lovely work of art...fabulous rusty elements!
The textures are overwhelming! And that's good. Really good. Love the shellac and rusty things.
Wonderful compilation of textures, colours and objects, Seth. The background text adds that something extra. Way to go!
oooh rusty bits! you have made them fit right in with the Eastern theme of the piece.
If you are anything like me you'll have 'sourced' those rusty found elements from the pavement!
Beautiful image filled with depth, vibrant color, and layer upon layer of thought. Love collage with lever cut outs, collage, hidden letters and backgrounds to make the perfect setting for your jewels to shine.
Lovely work Seth. I love circles and found things and the pallete you've used...so this really appeals!
Are you blogging for international blog action day on October 15th?
Oh, very cool!
rust is so rich here seth...we never quite look at found objects the same again right!
This is absolutely wonderful! The rich colours and found objects. Wow!
I love the vertical lines with the round shapes; and of course the depth of the layers. So much to look at! This is just gorgeous.
Beautiful work Seth! I have been lazy about blogging and have been out of the loop! Its great to come back and see your wonderful work again :)
Wow - love this piece
Seth, you have an amazing talent for creating small pieces that have such a large presence...i was surprised to see the size on this work. the details make it appear much larger than life.
Congratulations for such beautiful work. I am hoping your spirit will grace a wonderful new home. Go forth and make more sacred marks. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
very cool new work...like the black lines and the circles...edgy...great golden color you achieved too

Oh I also wanted to say I am sending my husband to your site. he wants to journal but does not have a clue I though if he saw more work like yours he would be inspired.
Seth, this is a beautiful piece... rich with texture and so timeless... have a wonderful Sunday... Roxanne
A warrior from the Han Dynasty would have carried this in his saddle bag.
This is definitely a favorite which says a lot!!!
Fantastic ! i love it!!

Really cool, Seth! The colours and textures are fabulous as usual. Love especially the addition of your rusty stuff!
