The Cutting Board

The MOs (short for Microscopic Organisms) continues their grab on my mind.  I imagine them slowly coming together to become something.  Perhaps a new kind of evolution ...

Hope all these MOs are not boring your viewing (yet) as more are coming .... :)

On the side:

After 6 months' of intense cutting work every night and most weekends, my natural heavy handed cutting style finally caught up on me.  My right wrist aches all the time.  I'm now wearing a wrist guard whenever I work on my cuts.  And I'll taking some days off from cutting to give my wrist some TLC.

Hence a word of warning to all Cutters:  Protect Your Working Hand before you are forced to stop!

Cheers and Stay Creative!

The Cutting Board

It's always a great joy when one creative idea leading to another!

My last cut re-ignited my interest in Microscopic Organisms (i'll simply call it MOs).

The Microscopic Organisms (MOs) (28cm x 37cm / 11" x 14.5")

Though they are invisible to our eyes, the MOs are everywhere.  With my very limited reading on the topic, I think of the MOs as the true aborigines which live in this world.  Without them being the basic life form to support our ecosystem, none of the living things (be it plants, animals and humans) are able to exist.

As I google the images of the MOs, I was mesmerized by the beauty and the alien look of them. It is difficult to believe that they are from this world.

I'm so in awe of these tiny beings that I think it's going to be awhile before I move on to my next object of interest!  ;)

Well, I hope you enjoy my latest cut!

Have a nice weekend and stay creative!
