Thick Air(C)



Several people have asked about the Thick Air(C) series. The way I make them is proprietary information (and just plain magick), but anyone who's ever done candle scrying or a smoke reading knows the basic technique.

I like them because what you see is different from what anyone else sees. You see what the goddess shows you, in effect — and later she may show you something completely different in the same picture!

Cyndi is taking off in her own direction with something she calls CAPTURED Air, but these are mine. We did a smoke reading, then she went away on a trip and while she was gone I more or less accidentally did the first one ... and it was so cool I did more. When Cyn got home she loved it, scanned some, and digitally manipulated them by adding color, reversing the background, etc., and that is excessively cool -- but the originals, just smoke on great paper, still hold immense mystery and a power that's nothing short of awesome in the right format. I plan to make them available in large format (4'x5'), signed and numbered, and offer prints in poster size at craft fairs and art sales. Want one?

These are the same print, but one has been Cyndi-ized. The original on white is "God of the Wind & Word," and with Cyndi's womanhandling it became "Lord of Moonfire."
