In the meantime, this is what I've done recently, taking a couple of muses into my STUDIO with me.
I started a journal. I'm not terribly excited about the results I have yet, but I'm doing it, and I'm going back for today's entry just as soon as I post this.
I also made these cards.
This card was inspired by my grandmother -- the subject of this card -- but the muse comes from e.b., and the collage I took home from her studio during my recent visit.
This card was inspired by Rebecca Sower, and the inside sentiment reads: "I carry your heart with me, (I carry it in my heart)" - e.e. cummings
This one? I guess it's mine.Happy evening everyone! The moon still looks pretty festive.
good evening sweetness
ReplyDeletejust returning
from sauces - yes...
an exact repeat
of our time together there
I ordered:
the duck pastrami salad...
the salmon...
and the chocolate pate
with the muscat
and remembered and
told stories about
Leslie and Jack
with our friends the Elliots
it was grandma Suzanne's
birthday and our first
6th grade dance -
remember Jensen - of
the Loop dee loos -
perhaps she was dancing
with Boone...
we stayed late
and laughed a lot
and conjured the presence
of L and J...
and now - seeing these
journal pages...
I am so inspired and
will open mine again...
tomorrow
as I said in an e-mail...
sometimes - what we create
continues to propagate...
and that - is what...
you have done...
big PINK kisses girlfriend
the moon had a slice missing
but glowed all the same...
for all the dancing...

I love that we can all share in the journal process....that we can put ourselves between the pages in moments of pure whimsy to things deep in our souls. It's very freeing, even if only one word is on the page. I need to do a page for 3 words:
ReplyDeleteBlessed Blogger Friends!!
Inspiration like golden threads bind us all together!
I wish my studio was as large, mine is our spare bedroom now designated to art but it's only about 10'x12'. (I am grateful to have it though only it's in a BAD state at present)
Have a blissful weekend!
XOXOXO
p.s. please tell Jack I'd sure love to read more of his writing!!
ps - and a heads up - go check out the Bloglandia Book at Steph's...
