I had planned to spend all day yesterday on altering the clock cases I had been working on but after a quick trip to the book store, where I picked up Michael DeMeng's newest book, that did not happen! I spent most of the afternoon with this wonderful book and artist. First, I just went thru and looked at all the stunning photos, then I went back and read the book cover to cover and since I had such a great time laughing and learning, I went back and read it all over again!
Then of course, I had to go back and reread his first book "The Secret of Rusty Things" again. His work just inspires me so much and I just think he is one of the most amazing artists ever. How lucky we all are that he shares his creativity by writing these wonderful books.
I would so love to be a fly on the wall in his studio to watch him create but with my luck he would smack me with a flyswatter, paint me and liquid nail me to one of his creations.....lol.....

I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM! I'M HAEADING RIGHT TO MY LOCAL BORDERS TO SEE IF HE'S THERE.(THE BOOK, NOT HIM) THANKS FOR SHARING.
you are so funny Cheryl:) it sounds like you really enjoyed that book!!!
I have not heard of him either...but I will look into his work. I would love for you to write a book too someday. That would be great!
Ooooooooh yes I'm a DeMenganite as WELL! LOL Haven't picked up the new book, but his first book STAYS on my sofa side table!
I am glad his new book is out, I have enjoyed his work for a long time. I will have to look for it and will love getting lost in it too.

Cheryl, I can't wait to get MDeM's new book. I love his art too. But even more, I love yours. I can't wait to see what you will do with all those clock parts and old photos! I am hoping to get into more dimensional pieces myself and you are one of my favorite inspirations!
Have a great week,
Sherry
