MUCH PATIENCE TO DO THIS WITH PAPER AND GLUE. WAY TO GO DAVE.

Artist Reply: Thank you Joanie : ) Fun to do, but a little bit of work to get the shapes to where I liked them. Hope you're staying cool

Nice positive negative transition, Dave. Seems you're a real cut-up with cut-outs. It sends a rather dark message--in a light-hearted way. Hope all is good, if not hot, up your way. :)

Artist Reply: Thanks Charles. There's a Japanese name for this technique (black and white reversal) but can't remember , even googled it ... when I find it I'll mention it because it's pretty cool. : ) We're supposed to have T storms maybe later today and even on the 4th. That won't stop folks around here from their fireworks ...
