the surf and are, therefore, ideal for painting. He does not attach
anything to the rock, or chisel pieces of it away; he prefers to work with
the shape provided by nature. The natural imperfections, such as chips,
streaks or holes, often work to his advantage; a rock with one edge broken
off became the half-eaten side of an apple.

These shrines to unknown individuals have a Karma that is still unfolding to create a new paradigm. ----"Angel In Repose"---Marvin Finn: Wizard of whimsical whittling --“Every object is created with it’s own specific purpose in life. Then I find it… and it is awakened and delivered…” As I create mixed media sculptural works, I find myself working in an intuitive manor. Whether I find the object or the object finds me, I fit together a personal narrative and create an odd mixture of the past and the present. ---the loss of a valuable object or even the loss of time----Bakers Dozen Collage Exchange ---

In 1907, the Belgian-born scientist L.H. Baekeland invented Bakelite, one of the first plastics ever made. It was an inexpensive alternative to more natural materials, and proved to be an excellent insulator against heat and electricity, and fire resistant too. That's why it was used for kitchen appliances, such as toasters, and other household consumables, such as radios. ---Welcome to the site of the Bakelite and Plastic Museum.
