&lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-spam-tale.html"&gt;Spam Tale&lt;/a&gt; reads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;‘Standeth  Bergstrom seethed’ at the ‘annoying crayfish’ and his ‘discontent  minors’. Finding his ‘boomerang stale’, he took his ‘boo-boo gun’ and  sent the ‘ephemeral vermin’ to ‘shucks crematoria’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;The artist set herself the challenge of using as much of the&lt;a href="http://books.littleoak.com.au/boys_annuals/chatterbox/cbox_1914.JPG"&gt; original book&lt;/a&gt; illustration composition as possible while staying true to the surreal nature of the &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-spam-tale.html"&gt;Spam Tales&lt;/a&gt; series. For example, the three large figures at the table are original but are clearly altered. The 'annoying crayfish' was a seated man from elsewhere in the book, brought in with his table to replace the original seated man at the end of the table in this illustration. The 'discontent minors' crayfish are featured in a limited print series 'collage' of their own, &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2011/01/flight-of-crayfish.html"&gt;Flight of the Crayfish&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=StandethBergstromDETAIL.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img

Tales is a series of collages. The wording for each  collage is composed of spam email subjects and senders,  collected over a period of months. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;They are written out on paper, and re-written or cut out  and shuffled about until there something resembling cohesiveness, and an  engaging mini story/spiel. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Some collages incorporate the word recognition  anti-spam mechanism for posting on Facebook. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Spam and anti-spam word combinations have been chosen for  their random, nonsense quality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=OxClock.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/OxClock.jpg" alt="collage" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Spam Tales:'Craftsmanship Ox', detail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;paper&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in progress image, &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/08/craftsmanship-ox-erasmus-howard.html"&gt;final work here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;The juxtaposition of modern technology  and turn of the century or Victorian imagery, paired with some very weird wording leads to  pleasingly Surreal results. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Most of the Spam Tales read like advertising spiels and the artist does not shy away from that fact.

It is up to the viewer/buyer whether they wish to understand more by visiting this very website. The artist realises that sometimes it is enough to just enjoy art for art's sake. This is is why the 2º group installation is being subsequently divided up for individual sale rather than as one piece.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=TwoDegrees-26-28.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/TwoDegrees-26-28.jpg" alt="butterfly,butterfly" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2º, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;detail featuring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/05/28-papilio-aurea-lymphae-p-golden-water.html"&gt;28°, Papilio aurea lymphae (P. golden water nymph)* &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 26°, Papilio collis viridis (P. green hill) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=TwoDegrees-014.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/TwoDegrees-014.jpg" alt="butterfly" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2º,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; detail featuring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 24°, Nymphalidae junonia nebulae (N. cloud buckeye),  &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/11/16-nymphalidae-oculus-tigris-n-tigers.html"&gt;16°, Nymphalidae oculus tigris (N. tiger’s eye)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; 18°, Heliconius vestio rubrica (H.

I liked this collage so much I felt it was worthy of, and effective in, another composition and well suited to Avant Card's post card format. It's the most complicated, non-texture* collage I have done to date in terms of the number of actual pieces that are assembled and layered (twenty two parts), as well as the number of original image sources used (five different books).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exhibited as part of &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/09/paper-butterflies-exploring-our.html"&gt;Paper Butterflies&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;* Examples &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2007/08/switch-off-to-switch-on.html"&gt;here &lt;/a&gt;and &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/07/spectacled-bat.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3140916015413032105-3528831931690586906?l=pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/3528831931690586906/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3140916015413032105&amp;postID=3528831931690586906' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/3528831931690586906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/3528831931690586906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/02/craftsmanship-ox-out-soon-on-avant-card.html' title='Craftsmanship Ox: Out soon on an Avant Card'/><author><name>Patricia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09072304368068008681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z9IWPtK_ZKw/SxzpOSliRMI/AAAAAAAAAFw/O8fLejvBqZQ/S220/BWMeEditedART.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/th_Avantcard-WEB.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140916015413032105.post-3415942894964064019</id><published>2010-01-31T00:06:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T17:46:50.443-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='paper butterflies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibited'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recycled material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='collage'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wunderkammer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animal/s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SOLD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='inspired by science'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='carving'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='on paper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='creature design'/><title type='text'>Paper butterfly: Papilio comae delta (Delta's hair Papilio)</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=PapilioComaeDelta.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/PapilioComaeDelta.jpg" alt="sculpture,collage" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Papilio comae delta (Delta's hair Papilio)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;font style="font-style: italic;"&gt;paper, steel pin, cardboard, closed cell polystyrene foam, enamel paint, acrylic paint, nylon filament, ink&lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the first colour paper butterfly using paper from contemporary magazines.

Anything better - slight damage but not falling apart much, only minor tears, or a few dog ears - is kept in my small collection for future reference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When making black and white paper butteflies I consult a book from my collection: Wood's Natural History. Funnily enough the book that started it all as far as the use of Victorian images, was this very book. I still have and use that first coverless, unbound, pages missing, child addled copy. My father attained it for me from Neil, a family friend. Neil ran a local, little, second hand bookshop that has now been closed for some years. It wasn't until I recently when got my 'good' copy  that I was able to identify the book. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's fairly easy to tell when I've photocopied and when I use actual bits from a book since I do not attempt to age the photocopy. Thus the old book collages have a slight buff or cream tone while the photocopy collages tend to be a bright white. However there is a third possibility and that is the hardware catalogue collages which are also offwhite.  I sometimes work a small part or two from a hardware catalogue into a book paper collage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the age or source of the paper, if you own a paper work of art it is best you display it away from direct sunlight and not where sunlight will be strongly reflected onto it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://secure.hostdeziners.com/www_mcmichael_com/store/index.php?main_page=page&amp;amp;id=12&amp;amp;chapter=0"&gt;More tips on caring for paper art here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-spam-tale.html"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a Spam Tale? &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2010/07/what-is-spam-tale.html"&gt;Read about it and the creative process here.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3140916015413032105-2040062932037785183?l=pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/2040062932037785183/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3140916015413032105&amp;postID=2040062932037785183' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/2040062932037785183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/2040062932037785183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/12/about-my-collages.html' title='About my collages'/><author><name>Patricia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09072304368068008681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z9IWPtK_ZKw/SxzpOSliRMI/AAAAAAAAAFw/O8fLejvBqZQ/S220/BWMeEditedART.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140916015413032105.post-6225985503667975970</id><published>2009-12-23T03:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-07-25T01:31:47.926-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='found material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibited'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recycled material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wunderkammer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animal/s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural raw material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miniature'/><title type='text'>Bat Pods: Little Red Flying Foxes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=littlereds3.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/littlereds3.jpg" alt="sculpture" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Little Reds.

In the collection are antique botanical prints, anatomical models, specimens preserved in vintage glass canisters, fossils, medical instruments, beetles and butterflies in hand blown specimen domes: the scope of Wunderkammer is as broad as the scope of human scientific enquiry.

atmosphere affects our oceans. The title refers to the calcium compound not the fruit. The ocean naturally absorbs carbon dioxide but if it continues to absorb at the current rate we will see acidification. This affects the entire ocean food chain from the tiniest creatures upwards due to the negative affect on seashell integrity. The scrimshawed, seagull craniums depict a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_acid"&gt;carbonic acid&lt;/a&gt; molecule and the degradation* of a seashell in simulated, acidified ocean water. &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jul/13/manchester-report-cquestrate"&gt;Adding lime to seawater has been suggested as a way to sequester carbon dioxide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Exhibited as part of &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/09/paper-butterflies-exploring-our.html"&gt;Paper Butterflies&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;and &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/06/big-show-coming-up.html"&gt;Slide Rules Have No Place At My Party&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/11/marine-miniatures/acid-threat-text"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;*Based on photographs of a pteropod from National Geographic, 2007.

In addition to this, the surface of the driftwood was resurfaced and treated with a beeswax turpentine preservative to improve long term stability. A fresh, more dynamic - focal point was created for the work through the revised placement of the bats, from the side of the piece to the corner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Exhibited as part of &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/09/paper-butterflies-exploring-our.html"&gt;Paper Butterflies&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;and &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/06/big-show-coming-up.html"&gt;Slide Rules Have No Place At My Party&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3140916015413032105-1282853340442347625?l=pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/1282853340442347625/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3140916015413032105&amp;postID=1282853340442347625' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/1282853340442347625'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/1282853340442347625'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/06/roost-redux.html' title='Roost Redux'/><author><name>Patricia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09072304368068008681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z9IWPtK_ZKw/SxzpOSliRMI/AAAAAAAAAFw/O8fLejvBqZQ/S220/BWMeEditedART.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/th_RoostReduxWEBcopy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140916015413032105.post-8139376679728554464</id><published>2009-06-27T22:23:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-01-21T17:42:16.442-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='found material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='exhibited'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recycled material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='wunderkammer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animal/s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SOLD'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='natural raw material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miniature'/><title type='text'>Series I.

There are several reasons both practical and creative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The creative reasons take the lead for me. I have always liked little things, and details ever since I was a child playing with bugs in the garden or in the classroom doll house before school each morning. Many of my favourite artists create small/detailed art. So suppose I have a tendency to conceive of these things since it's what I enjoy. Secondly the found materials I regularly use dictate the scale of the piece in my mind. Proportion and scale are very important to my way of thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The practical side is that thinking about petite projects and making them is easier when you're doing most of it at a desk the size of an A1 page, and other parts on a home workshop bench. However it's more of a happy coincidence than the studio environment actually dictating the scale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, the reason many artists choose to work on a smaller scale - particularly painters - is that you can achieve a greater quality of finish over a smaller area, in a quicker time. This allows the artist a lower selling price based on hours put into the work, thus making the art more affordable to those who would like to own it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3140916015413032105-5730580739973640002?l=pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/feeds/5730580739973640002/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3140916015413032105&amp;postID=5730580739973640002' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/5730580739973640002'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3140916015413032105/posts/default/5730580739973640002'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2009/06/why-small-why-not-make-bigger-pieces.html' title='Why small, why not make bigger pieces?'/><author><name>Patricia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09072304368068008681</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='21' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z9IWPtK_ZKw/SxzpOSliRMI/AAAAAAAAAFw/O8fLejvBqZQ/S220/BWMeEditedART.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3140916015413032105.post-6956629403999162563</id><published>2009-05-24T00:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-09T19:48:34.177-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='recycled material'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animal/s'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sculpture'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='work in progress'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='miniature'/><title type='text'>Mini bats</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=WIP_Bat.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 240px; height: 321px;" src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/WIP_Bat.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Work in progress, bats&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;mixed media&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Their wingspan is about 2.5 cm or an inch.

Finally in late 20o8 after seeing some &lt;a href="http://spippo.deviantart.com/gallery/"&gt;amazing MLP customisations online&lt;/a&gt;, I was inspired. I researched to see what has been done by other MLP customisers and &lt;a href="http://www.aikarin.com/mlp/customs/customtutorials.html"&gt;basic MLP customisation tips&lt;/a&gt; and materials.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;After going back to the drawing board and really putting  some thought into it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, this is the result.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=MLSteamPunk1gearscopy.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img

materials. Both sides dual on a map of the world. The red side represents &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Growth&lt;/span&gt; and is customised using only natural, organic materials such as mother of pearl from abalone, bone, feathers from a &lt;a href="http://www.avianweb.com/eclectus.htm"&gt;pet Eclectus parrot&lt;/a&gt;, fish quills, dried plants and insect parts, shells, and assorted gum nuts. The black side represents &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Progress&lt;/span&gt; and is customised in a steampunk style using various toy, jewellery, optical and watch parts in plastic, metal and glass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Progress&lt;/span&gt; was made before &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Growth&lt;/span&gt;, so &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Growth&lt;/span&gt; was designed to be a natural reflection of &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Progress&lt;/span&gt;. The pieces' designs are indicative of the way they move around the board and in the case of the King and Queen, show their relationship to each other. Since the Queen is able to move in all directions, elements of all the other pieces are incorporated into her design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=GvPDarkProgressArmy.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/GvPDarkProgressArmy.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Detail; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Progress&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=GvPRedKnightPawns.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/GvPRedKnightPawns.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Detail; a pawn and knight from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Growth&lt;/span&gt;. All of the collected feathers were shed naturally, and trimmed to shape. The knight's eyes are inlaid mother of pearl from an abalone shell, while the horn is beef bone. Borneo and Indonesia are visible on the chess board's map.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://s241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/?action=view&amp;amp;current=GvPRedQKfrontRook.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff250/LadyMeerkat/art/GvPRedQKfrontRook.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Detail; Queen, King and a rook from &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Growth&lt;/span&gt; from the front.

/&gt;After seeing the &lt;a href="http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/atoday/stories/s381262.htm"&gt;exhibition and owning the book &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;'A Gap in Nature'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; by Peter Schouten, in which the Dodo is prominently featured&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;, I was inspired to create my own dignified dodo artwork. Historically the dodo has been depicted as a slightly silly bird. Schouten bucked that trend beautifully. The original scientific name for the dodo was &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Didus ineptus&lt;/span&gt; reflecting the period lack of respect for the species. It's now known as &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Raphus cucullatus&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a reworking of that &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2004/03/anatomy-of-loss-part-1.html"&gt;initial artwork&lt;/a&gt; which incorporated a vintage dodo depiction with the old scientific name. As a completely new drawing it is not only more anatomically 'correct' and clear', because I found a better source book showing general bird anatomy, but the hatching and shading is probably the best I've ever done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exhibited as part of the &lt;a href="http://pdvirtualgallery.blogspot.com/2006/05/unnatural-history-museum-exhibition.html"&gt;Unnatural History

the first time my work is being exhibited in a gallery. It's a joint show with my brother, Mark.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Opening Night: Saturday 8th July, 6.30 - 8.30pm&lt;br /&gt;Saturday 8th July to Thursday 20th July 2006&lt;br /&gt;Gallery Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 1-6pm&lt;br /&gt;The Fitzroy Gallery, 274 Fitzroy St, Fitzroy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;The Unnatural History Museum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A collection of small-scale sculptures and intricate collages using found materials.  Patricia's long term interest in nature is reflected in the pieces, which focus on natural history, technology, science and our relationship with the environment.  She has a particular interest in genetic engineering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://imageshack.us/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/1869/whatisleftwebversion6si.jpg"
