My contributions to Illustration Friday (and other artistic endeavors).
With her trusted companion, Poporo, she rides to school on the head of a big fish. She can't imagine a better way to travel, though the fish has other ideas. Seeing all that salt has him wondering if that road leads to the sea.

I found this on the web, and even though it isn't my art, it fits the theme so well I just had to post it.

This is a quilt that my mother (who did most of the actual sewing) and I created as a gift for my mother-in-law. The design is based on a Japanese motif, and we used primarily Japanese materials for it's construction. I found the design in "A World of Quilts: 10 Projects Using Ethnic Fabrics" by Beth Ann Williams. The comforter pictured below was assembled with rejected materials and scraps from this and other quilts. It is tied to a down comforter rather than quilted. As you can see my cats, Prudence, a Bombay, and Anais, a Russian Blue, rather enjoy it.

Shortly after posting my offering for this week's Illustration Friday, I was brutally reminded there are many in this world who are not free, and slavery is not simply something we read about in history books, or read enough about in today's newspapers. I was inspired by the Polaris Project to produce this collage.

To discover a new world you have to be willing to get lost; you have to risk sailing off the edge of the earth.
