Secret Moon Art

June 2, 2022 Posted with a flurry of fondness, here again is the dummy book cover for 'Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green' from way back in 2004:

Howdy Do! My children's book character, Pattillo Armadillo, skedaddles apace in this scene from his Hero's Journey, the yet-to-be-published Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green ...as you see, Pattillo runs toward the Great Lichen Forest during the course of his adventure. But you, m'dear, don't have to run, you may merely click to read insightful articles recently published for Astrology Day Blogathon 2010 by various astrologers of note including Donna Cunningham ('Skywriter'), C. J. Wright ('Auntie Moon'), and Mandi Lockley ('Astroair'). This is a permanent collection of informative writings which concern the current and ongoing Cardinal T-Square of planets Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto and it gives us practical ideas for handling these difficult planetary energies now squaring off from Spring 2010 into 2014/15. So if you managed to miss it thus far, please click here for a private viewing of the Cosmic Art Gallery set up in honor of the Blo...

Fairies Visit Goldfish Pond , a drawing by Jude Cowell 2009+; an original illustration from Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green.

Here's Pattillo Armadillo as he scampers toward the Great Lichen Forest , his hero's journey almost complete! Illustration from 'Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green,' my unpublished children's book which traveled to NYC to be considered for Little, Brown's publication list 2004/05. Drawing by Jude Cowell 2009+ Relax! and stroll down another Cosmic Art Path to a magical forest where Indian pipes bloom enticingly from the forest's mulchy floor. And here you may see the celestial sights that Pattillo enjoyed when he stopped at the Turquoise Observatory during his hero's journey to the Great Lichen Forest! With or without fairies, Children's Art is so fun, isn't it? The thing about my character, Pattillo - he can never see the fairies all around him (armadillos have notoriously bad eyesight, more's the pity, but they make up for it in other ways), yet you, Lone Viewer, may always spot a fairy or two flitting about and watching over the l...

> Candle Bower 2003 Look! here's a photo of one of the Candle Bowers created by yours truly as Uranus (lightening; new ideas) traversed my 5th house of Creativity. This was during my electric art phase, 1995 - 2004...see Cosmic Light Panel below - the photo is a bit fuzzy (from 2000) but it will give you the idea. Wish I could still shape wire, beads, stones, and prisms into a spun stageset of silver, gold, copper, and brass - a decoration meant for candle enjoyment as well as for lighting purposes - but it's not to be. (Beware the nickel content in silver wire!) Mirrors reflected candle flames the better to see you with, and here you observe candle's image at the top of the *bower - wish you could see it in evening light where it really glows. But after 6 years of creating this line of designs, nickel had overly sensitized me and so I gave up creating my line of Wire Art , as I called it then, along with other styles of candle art, plus: mobiles, bead-studded boxes, l...

Here's Pattillo Armadillo at Turquoise Look-Out! See his little noggin peeking up as he enjoys the celestial show? (c)2004 Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green.

Here's Pattillo Armadillo snoozing underneath a 'Shroom Home while on his hero's journey...as told in, Pattillo Armadillo and the Dream of Green. This drawing was a reject from his 'dummybook' but he looks pretty snugged in, don't you think? Only the zzz-z-z-z-zs are missing!
