Backbone State Park


This image is of the boathouse at Backbone State Park in scenic northeast Iowa.  As the state's first state park, it remains one of the most unique as it is named for the steep and narrow ridge of rock cut by a loop of the Maquoketa River.  And, as a result, the highest point in this area was formed and is still referred to as the Devil's Backbone.  Although it is delightfully beautiful in all seasons, autumn is a perfect time to visit.

Octo

Octo by Stephanie Funke, CZT

Recently I named this creation "Octo" but upon further observation I noticed there were more than eight tentacles; therefore, this is more accurately known as Octo Plus One.  Unlike most of my tangles, this was different as I didn't have a preconceived idea about where it would end or the shape it would take.  And, I love it as it swims perpetually on the paper and flows effortlessly in all directions.

"My mind's an octopus reaching tentacles of thought in eight different directions at once."
