I wanted to share the project I'm working on. As I've recently learned about the Eighfold Path to enlightenment according to Buddhism, I based my idea for a sculpture project on Brandy.
The eightfold path is this: (http://www.thebigview.com/buddhism/eightfoldpath.html)
| 1. Right View | Wisdom |
| 2. Right Intention | |
| 3. Right Speech | Ethical Conduct |
| 4. Right Action | |
| 5. Right Livelihood | |
| 6. Right Effort | Mental Development |
| 7. Right Mindfulness | |
| 8. Right Concentration |
I asked Brandy's family for eight articles of clothing that I could use to represent her. (They gave me a matching outfit that really speaks Brandy!) These articles will be arranged in an interesting manner in a glass shadow box.

| articles I'm working with on the project |
The front panel of the shadow box will list the eight nouns associated with the eightfold path.
View, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration. I'm going to make the words stacked vertically and paint the negative space behind them with a frost, so that you can still see through it, but it will create a visually appealing effect.
I'm very excited to work on this (if you can't tell)!
I will be sure to post my progress.
Ideally, I would have this finished by Sunday, when a local bar/hangout of Brandy's (where she didn't drink) is hosting a benefit for her. Split Level is the last place I saw Brandy in April, so I really look forward to this. I am not sure that my supplies will be in on time, but we shall see.
Also coming up is the Boardman High School orchestra concert that they are dedicating to Brandy tomorrow!
Lots to surround ourselves with here from Brandy.
Until next time.
