I hope viewers will find some amusement when they look at this. Maybe it will even elicit a sly smile or make someone having an anxious feel a tiny bit more relaxed for a moment. I chose to use items from the dollar store, beads and other items I bought up on Ebay. I intentionally made the background dark, as though the figures leaping forward were Balinese puppets lit by candle from behind. Or maybe revelers ringing a dying fire in a field. To that I added a sense of play and gratitude. And lots of glue, matte acrylic gel sealant and my own cherished memories.
