Welcome to Casino Limbo

Casino Limbo – Character No.4

Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
The SPECTRE – The final character of Casino Limbo. Their hearts are beyond anything we understand. Their hearts are encompassing, embracing and waiting. They dance on casino tables and kick over chairs. The chains of the universe wrap around their necks. They fear endlessly for their existence and ours.

Casino Limbo – Character No.3

Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
Lola Lupone (named after the tragic showgirl of Copacabana fame, & Patti LuPone, whom I adored from the very first time I saw her perform, Evita, in 1979) is the third of four characters living in my latest sculpt, Casino Limbo. Lola Lupone, though stuck in Casino Limbo, doesn’t seem to care where she is. Her mind remains in love with itself, and her heart remains infatuated with her head.

(I plan to post each character individually before posting the full tableau – as they’re not full-view once positioned ’round the table.)

Casino Limbo-Character No.2

Sculpt no. 11 – Casino Limbo
Wallace Traveller Esq. (My Wallace was inspired by Nick Park’s fabulously whimsical claymation characters, Wallace and Gromit) is the second of four characters living in my latest sculpt, Casino Limbo. After having travelled the world, Wallace Traveller is none the wiser. He is, however, quite cheerful and full of cheese. His carpet bag is packed to the brim with molding dairy products.

Well, I’m back on Instagram again. Not sure where it will take me or my new sculpts, but we’ll see 😊

onward and upward

To My Beautiful Millie Mom

To my dearest friend — thank you for sharing your brightest life
your infectious joy, your brilliant smile
each day softening these endless farewells

so—goodbye, beautiful lady—goodbye, Mom
but—hello again, always—hello again…
I miss you   I adore you   I love you

striving for a little humor these days-very little😘

a garden of peace, child

A garden of peace, child
Bowed lips, each a cherry blossom petal
Cheeks, satin and pink-rosed pinched by heaven
Your small hands–the hands of an angel, clasping their hidden treasures of bees balm and forever dreams
Diamond clusters of baby’s breath adorn your wrist, delicate dewdrops on wind and wing
How your dark chestnut hair swirls with endless copper beech highlights–so warm and inviting, the soft yellow ducks have come to slumber beside you
Blankets of hyacinth and lavendar protect your perfect skin, white as daffodils
You, a beautiful, sweet Lily, to forever bloom in the loving heart of your adoring mother and all those who cherished and nurtured your blessed life
for my cousin, Marie and her sweet, Lily

heaven or hell

it’s probably a big mistake to be pressing these keys right now
there are so many things pressing inside my chest
is it possible to come out of this
as one person with one dream
when everything leading up to the dream is fantasy
the impressionists began as an anonymous group
maybe I could be unknown
a founding member of the “what the hell” group
we could laugh and never care
about anything until we have to
and at that point we’d only need worry about two options
no more than that
heaven or hell
I’d simply select
which ever one has the best wine list
and maybe a tattoo parlor
