Thanks so much for the compliment Shel. Glad you're enjoying my brain :). I'm in Southern Ontario, so quite a distance from Washington State. Good thing the internet brings us all closer.
Stay inspired!

The sketch is beautiful and I am really intrigued to see what it becomes.... have no clue what a UTEE is ... going to have to google that one xx

@Judy - thanks. In my mind the flying sparrows wall sculpture is enchanting. We'll see if my hands manage to transform it to reality ;).

@Tracey - thanks. I just discovered this UTEE medium through another AEDM artist post the other week. It stands for Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel and to me the possibilities for it's use in art seem limitless.

Stay inspired!

I like the energy you captured in this sketch. Will be interesting to see this UTEE medium, I've never used it---- is there no end to cool supplies to play with?

Gwen Hughes said...

Such an aerial wonder. He is fantastically well drawn.
I know what UTEE is, but what are you planning to do? Just have to wait...I look forward to it.

This would maKe a brilliant design for textiles or wallpaper.

@Christine - thanks. Nope, no end at all :).

@Gwen - thanks. I've never even tried UTEE, but as soon as I saw a couple videos of the applications an idea started forming. lol Won't divulge more as who knows what I'll manage.

Stay inspired!

Can't wait to see what you create with the UTEE. I love how UTEE looks flat it will be amazing in a sculpture of your bird!
