Through My Eyes                                                                                                                                                                                          * Continuing work on the sculpture of Tara Drolma!  Here I'm  working on the folds in the cloth. These will both portray her movement and reinforce the sculpted cloth.  I've also made lots of progress weaving the cloth for our prayer flags! It actually takes longer to prepare the warp than it does to actually weave the cloth so I am thinking about ways to make this process a bit easier. Much ot this of course gets simpler with practice. I went on a short retreat to a Tibetan Buddhist monastery; it is a wonderful place!  I haven't any pictures to bring us yet but I know there is much we can learn of the Tibetan faith and the prayer flag script. please click here to continue...                                                                                                                                                           * courtesy of A Luminous Diamond (Bright) Crystal Show productions.
