insane in the brain

Here's a little glimpse inside the mind of a crazy artist:

I mentioned before that I've been interested in exploring texture in my art recently, but this latest piece really takes the insanity over the top.

Larry came into my studio last night and his eyes grew wide when he saw what I was working on - all he could say was "Uhh...Rachel...?"

Yes, YES, I know - it's totally OCD. Crazy. Yes, I am using jeweler's pliers to stick all those tiny pieces upright. Insane. But I also think it looks pretty cool.
