The Journey of a Ladybird

Sometimes I see things and just think sideways I spotted this little ladybird on the inside face of a smoking shelter at work…I guess the *A* is part of the identification for assembling the shelter....

It made me wonder if the ladybird ever found “B” and completed her journey, and where indeed *B* was...

Fruit tree

This I love…some good friends have had trouble lately with birds eating the fruit off their tree in the garden, so they wrapped the fruit in plastic bags to protect them. Not only does the fruit get looked after, it has it’s own mini greenhouse to help it ripen and a catch all so when ready they don’t get ruined by falling to the lawn…..

..what struck me (apart from the cute cleverness) was that here we all are, trying to be green and avoid the pitfalls and effects of buying from super-supermarkets…we toil by growing our own to make a difference and satisfy our concience, and we end up packaging it plastic anyway…there’s a deep sense of irony there for me.

About me and my metal sculptures

Haich is an internet gallery for my pieces, some I would classify as genuine art, some more craft, and some as a kind of release for my surreal sense of humour.

Me? I’m just someone inspired by those more talented and that more beautiful. I have a 9-5 job like most, and try to squeeze in to everyday life the process of extrapolating what it is in my mind and creating the result as both time and finances allow…and, above all, I aim to enjoy it.

The key aspect is passion, every piece of art should make you think, draw feelings from your soul, whether it makes you shout with hatred or silences you with peace – if it does this it works. Everything I do I just do, from the thoughts and emotions within me – it may be right, it may be wrong, that’s more your call, I’d be very interested in your opinions.

So, here’s to entering the blogosphere…enjoy
