Yes! New piece finished. I finally could use a lot of this really beautiful silver lace I was collecting for ages.
I made the piece for the special NIADA theme exhibition “Up in the clouds”, hoping I understood the theme right.
The piece is called Fighting the Clouds (2) because what else could you fight on a toy horse 🙂 The 2 means that I used the theme before.

I love this; the silver, the expression, the design, beautiful. Not odd (inside joke) but lovely. Will miss NIADA because I have to be in San Francisco. Have a marvelous time. P.S. you took this pic.
Absolutely Lovely
Marlaine, Your work is always surprising and unique — no one else does what you do! I love the way you incorporate found objects. Anne Schroeder
Whooweeee!!! I can just hear the fun in the clouds. Magnificent!
Spectacular! Love this piece Marlaine.
