It is said that to be touched by the moon's rays in slumber is to court lunacy. I look up at the moon on a still night, and feel that spiderweb trailing of silver light across my face. No heat like the caress of the sun. No sign of that ghostly trailing of light except what my imagination fills. A peace steals across the room, the stillness of meditation, of delving down within.

That's pretty frickin' cool. Although, I must admit it'd be nice if you could post it in a larger size if possible; it looks like there's a bunch of fun details to look at, and I always love zooming in close as possible.

I tried to post the following on your blog, but it came up with an error message, but I wanted to leave some feedback so here it is...

I am glad to read that I am not the only one who "works on the fly". I find it challenging and enjoyable(sometimes) to make a mistake, and have to figure out how to incorporate it into the piece. Some of my best stuff has resulted from a combination of intuition and accidents!

I want to die like my grandmother died- asleep and at peace...not screaming like the passengers in her car.

This is gorgeous.:) I like the satin quality to her robe. Also, the masks definitely touched close to home for me, as I am a 'sometimes' mask-maker.:) :iconemasqueradegallery:

Very beautiful!:)
