 To wander in the fields of flowers pull the thorns from your heart. -Rumi  I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way. Quote by Georgia O'Keeffe Dalia by the colorful universe Photo by Tara Gill  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Quote by Goethe. Photo designed by Tara Gill. Geranium petals by the bold universe. Helix, DNA, pattern, nature. Striking. One part always contains a piece of the whole.  When one tugs at a single thing in nature, one finds it attached to the rest of the world. The design at right is made from the leaves of the sweet potato plant - just 2 separate leaves, pictured below. The folded leaf reminds me of the hearts I made in elementary school where you drew half the heart on a folded paper and cut it out. The process: In Photoshop I carefully select the leaf from its background, that is the sometimes tedious part of my work. Then comes the fun part, I build separate patterns individually, and then put the designs into a larger design until it sings to me. And, I kid you not, when I get a good one the angels sing Hallelujah!
