These plates combine in myriad ways into "The Animal Interantics" and "Love Pantheon Maps". They map the Life History Paths of the Beings and show how their life paths cross. To be shown later will be a format for designing your own Antics and Maps hand made for you by Chela.

Jolly Laughing Wolf "The Sassy Strider, eats Racketty-Packetty Bones"	Napoleon Hat Lady "A Slinky-Hipper, she, slinkily posing on one hip...The Plumed Lady"

 

Light Blue Mother "Present at the dawn of time. Today she sets on her lily pad in the middle of middles."	White Mother "Veiled in white, her dark eyes liquid light as she dances in whirling spreading energy... + love..."

 

Snake "Born in the back of Chela's throat - a pyramidal coil stacked on his custom-made shelf. He has accompanied her ever since, a quiet and steady presence. A shapeshifter, he also "Radars", glows, Antennaes, Blows up translucent and iridescent and on occasion acted like a toilet plunger in an attempt to flush sand out of Chela's well. He has taken her on journeys thru the air and under earth-"	Longuevin (English-Alligator Dragonfly) "He chortles modestly, his head ducked, his stomach full of the half-digested."

 

Geisha Lady-Light "She stands graciously garbed in silk and when her consort the samurai warrior Zings his Boomrang in her direction she calmly turns her back and deflects it off a big cushion she wears on a high folded belt."	Sammy Seahorse "Geisha lady's Pet"..."Her whirling bird-consolation for living orbital satellite II."	Samurai Warrior "He stomps and thrashes, his boomerang zenning beyond him. The Samuraai couple has Yin/Yanged with Tooth'd edges."

Snake Opheliac "A two headed matrimonial dilemma riddled with mutual guilt."	Wolf Cat "First seen from above as I hovered in the air. I circled down closer...he was a wolf and a cat-animal!"

 

Athena "Athena, the Warrior and Wisdom Goddess finds Chela in the Catalina Mountains near Tuscon. What happens next? See Athena in the Catalina."	Falcon Flies Free "On trips he is willing to carry Chela, wrapped in SNAKE, thru the air to far destinations. He also likes to sit on her feet or at her head when she's asleep or meditating."

Presented here is a selection from some 34 plates developed by Chela showing the BEINGS. Each one is acid etched and then shaped with jeweler's bandsaw and filed for the plate bevel, by me, by hand. Lovingly.

Below are examples of how the BEINGS come together. The first one came together for Susan. It is 46" long of handmade paper designed and made by me and it has the colors desired by the patron both in handmixed inks as well as in the paper. The poetry is by me and is spontaneously generated by me for the patron (Please note right side shadowed during photography).
