Yes, the dragon-phoenix-wings painting/collage is officially DONE! Double Yay! 
I am quite proud of it and think it turned out beautifully. I have sent it off to be considered by WeMoon, a publisher of women's magical materials and such, to be included in their yearly set of cards, books, and calendars (this would be for 2008 of course). Hopefully I will be updating my website soon and will put the final image up there as well. Also now that it is finished, it can begin working it's magical aspect that began with the original meditation: the takeoff and soaring of my illustritive carreer!
Next project is the last subject in my Elementals series (see my site www.rachelhwhiteart.com, under New Works). The element for this one is "Earth" and I think I've settled on Gargoyle as the subject. I've done some sketching trying my best to make him not look like something from a Disney cartoon and yet also make him look alive, in motion, and not permanently attatched to a building. I believe I can make him look somewhere in between traditional Gothic architecture and Disney-esque, pop culture style.
I've also still got Body & Blood to work on, but that's kind of on the burner to one side (as opposed to the back burner which is kinda crowded at the moment if you know what I mean).
After I finish "Gargoyle: Lord of Earth" and send that in to Circle Mag. I'm going to start work on my pirate costume for the NC Ren Faire. I've been planning this costume for a few years now and finally have all the materials I need to do it. I'm going to have to be careful how I plan it though, because it lends itself to cooler weather and last couple of years the Carolina Faire has been a little too warm for this kind of thing. I may have to work out the costume so I can have fully optional layers, and right now I have no clear idea how I'll go about doing that. Never fear, I shall muddle through somehow, even if it is by sweating it out come Faire time.
PS: on a somewhat unrelated note (unrelated to art and writing that is) I was invited and have joined this group on yahoo called Mass Consciousness something or other. It is an intriguing path to follow as the guy (or gal?) who started it is very mysterious, apparently having some kind of job where he/she and a group of others psychically sense what's going on all over the world and when disasters, both natural and man-made, are coming. This person, who calls him/herself "Sam", has made this group secretly, under the noses of his/her superiors, to use positive psychic energy in order to diffuse these disasters and prevent them from happening! So far it's quite cool and there seem to be lots of shiny people joining up all over the world. If nothing else I could write a really interesting story based on it.
