Although I have discovered corn hides in the oddest of foods. Baking powder? Really? Dang. This is difficult. But I am trying to remain inspired and look at it as a challenge. (I am SO craving pizza). I feel so great! I didn't realize how much inflammation the foods were causing. I feel like a different person! My blood pressure is much lower now (was 140 over something when I first went to naturopath now it is 110 over 72). I am not experiencing as much pain and even my headaches are much better! Now if I can just avoid that pizza...orion713http://www.blogger.com/profile/00631627737827788549noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071892.post-3833850331796287152009-11-02T11:55:00.000-08:002009-11-02T11:57:31.657-08:00Steampunk inspired clockwork Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland painting.

I haven't felt this good since I was in college. If ever. I can't recommend Dr. Molly Force in Port Townsend highly enough. She has given me my life back. Turns out for years I have had hypothyroid and am super allergic to gluten. For years I asked to have my thyroid tested and thought it had been...the doctor made a mistake. I sort of knew about the gluten...I have tried in the past to go gluten free and or cut down on it. But now I have to go completely gluten free. I am also allergic to soy, dairy, corn, almonds, sesame,beef and peas. Combine that with my anti-inflammatory diet that rules out a lot of food. I usually cook from scratch thank goodness so that makes things easier.<br /><br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/?action=view¤t=bellaandtutuonchair.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/bellaandtutuonchair.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>orion713http://www.blogger.com/profile/00631627737827788549noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071892.post-34417723257586345882009-09-13T15:47:00.001-07:002009-09-13T15:48:36.905-07:00Just listed an upcycled scrabble tile pendant with a print of my artwork whale on a wave on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=30877997">etsy</a><br /><br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/?action=view¤t=whale.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/whale.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>orion713http://www.blogger.com/profile/00631627737827788549noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071892.post-70207527824193630292009-08-17T12:52:00.000-07:002009-08-17T12:55:47.739-07:00Blackberries & cookbookWent blackberry picking this weekend.

It is available for sale on my sim Axis Mundi in the game Second Life. Here is our process on this particular piece.<br /><br />This character started with a fine art painting of mine:<br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/?action=view¤t=aquietevening-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/aquietevening-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Then I made a drawing with a side view for Denise to work from:<br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/?action=view¤t=owlsideviewdrawing.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/owlsideviewdrawing.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Denise sculpted in Maya to create this little fellow:<br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/?action=view¤t=denisesmayaowl.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/denisesmayaowl.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />And then once the pieces were imported into Second Life I finished building the character in world and added hand painted textures. You can see that along the process the eyes changed and his personality changed a little bit:<br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/?action=view¤t=orangegreensteampunkowlpackage.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/orangegreensteampunkowlpackage.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/?action=view¤t=metalruststeampunkowlpackage.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f373/Orion713/animal%20mandala%20world/metalruststeampunkowlpackage.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>orion713http://www.blogger.com/profile/00631627737827788549noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21071892.post-61335762721073739322009-07-30T11:09:00.001-07:002009-07-30T11:10:30.933-07:00Arbor with Morning GloriesAnother collaboration with Denise Weir.
