I am happy to report that my Toucan piece is done (well nearly done). I just took a snapshot of the piece on my kitchen floor. I still have to make hanging sleeves and take formal pictures of the piece, but here are some snap shots.
The piece was inspired by a vacation I took a couple of years ago to Central America. I often take a spring vacation trip to someplace warm. Winter in upstate New York is long, and often we don’t feel “spring-like” weather until well after the calendar says that spring has arrived. To fight the long winter, I often go somewhere warm in March.
BTW, my trip next year will be the biggest and longest of my life (aside from the summer I spent in Austria when I was 17). I am going to China (Beijing, Xian, Hong Kong) and then on a cruise to Vietnam, Thailand, and Singapore. It will be very expensive, but I am exited about the experience.
