DIVA-licious!!!!

The Biggest Diva!
Kinetic Diva Sculpture
They're just getting bigger and bigger, aren't they? 

The six-foot Warrior Divas made their appearance last month and now a series of kinetic sculptures that would use the wind and outdoor elements to turn, twist, bounce, and move the sculpture.  Metal seems to be the most durable material to use as a foundation for these kinetic sculptures.

My blog entry was just updated a few days ago with the latest step: grinding the Diva . . .

Lots More Outlets for Female-oriented Art:
