Take THAT Mrs Conner Detail Shot
When I was in the 7th grade, I made a poster for my art class. I was so incredibly proud of it! I took it to class where my teacher, Mrs. Conner, dismally sighed, “Sweetie, you should find another creative outlet because this just isn’t it.” With every stage of production of this piece, those 7th grade feelings of pride swelled up within me such that I would exclaim, “Take THAT, Mrs. Conner!” And so it was….
The blood moon of January 2019 was far too alluring. It’s magnetism was overpowering, and demanded to be made. At four foot square, the size and grandeur of this depiction of the moon through willows announces its magnificence. Yes, Mrs Conner, I captured this wonder with strands of thread!
