It's Crow Time 
fantastic… makes me want to climb to take a ‘”moonwalk”
me too!
This is one of your best! You usually list your materials but I dont see anything. What are they?
Thanks Julie, to see more details just click on the red Toad Moon & the red Ladder
PS & have just added the materials & dimensions to this post
Love it………….
they were waiting for each other!
That is excruciatingly beautiful!!! Love it Mo!!
thanks Dotti, so do I!
Beautiful realization and beautiful matters more than ever!
thanks (((Michelle)))
What an artist you are, Mo! Just stunning…
love how they have fallen together to make the dream complete
agree that this is “excruciatingly beautiful” and “one of your best”. I can imagine it transporting souls or tiny beings of light
thanks Dee, it’s funny how these two pieces have been hanging around for months and came together on Friday when I was casting around for something to put in the xmas show at Artsite Gallery!
Oh my goodness that is so beautiful! And I’m glad to have found you again, your site’s link fell off my list for some unknown reason.
good to see you again Sarah!
This is a story wanting to be told! What a perfect combination of materials and your gifts. I’ve never seen toad skin used for anything but toads before.
thanks for the good words Cindy, cane toads were introduced to Australia in 1935 by the sugar cane industry in an attempt to control the native grey-backed cane beetle but they have become a pest, here’s a link to more info
Beautiful Mo, makes me want to climb that ladder. Stand upon the Moon, looking at The Earth. oxox
thanks Marg, I love that once you climb the ladder to the moon there is an inside to explore as well
This is a stunning piece. x
thanks Judy, The Toad Moon and the Moon Ladder were both asides from the main project of getting the crow book finished this year, neither really worked on it’s own but have made a new sense now that they are stitched together
Mo, That’s amazing……stunning creation……beautiful.
Jo
thanks Jo, it sold at the opening!
