In an effort to kick myself out of a rut, and carrying on from the table top I have been doing I tried something else new. I was playing with smoke, with streams coming up from a stick of incense. One puff looked like an oriental dragon head to me, so I couldn't help but composite in some candle flames.

I like it, Craig. Very inventive. I can see the dragons head - but it's actually the second shape I saw in the smoke. Initially I saw a figure, leaning into the flame, almost running.

Creative work indeed!
Now you say that I see it too, one arm bending forward as if ducking for the tape, the other trailing behind.
Yep, exactly that.

Seeing shapes in a still fire...
