These mosaics aren’t about my sister, per se - more about clearing out her apartment. ![]() We were away this weekend, so I hope to catch up by Wednesday. See also my Flickr album, SoulCollage, and the tags for SoulCollage and collage here on the blog.Īnd from last night, another slide show made, in part, while sleepless last night. The fact that the points along the linen’s edge form a row of houses is just perfect. The collage below also came together this morning - similar in structure, but more grounded, specific and joyful. Without intending to so do, this collage reveals the strength and beauty of such an approach. Sometimes the cool mental ways associated with Aquarius strike me as ‘less than’ - no heart-centered earth mother here! They reference the sign’s reputation for having concerns about humanity generally (as opposed to singular people), and for taking an airy intellectual approach. To me, the lake and clouds suggest Aquarius. With a birthday on the horizon, it’s an opportunity to think about the archetype of The Water Bearer. Reading from bottom to top - the girl represents what I was given (not literally, I grew up comfortably middle class), the linens represent the mediating power of creativity, the clouds and lake, call forth the bigger picture, the place of transformation. This is more of a time line than a depiction of ‘above, center and below’ as prompted by Acey* in Prompt #24:Ībove/Below/Within - Tell a 3 piece story about who you are in relation to the sacred directions These three scraps of paper, from the top down: 1) an aerial view of a lake in Colorado 2) antique linens beautifully cared for 3) a young impoverished girl sunk in a wading pool, somehow managing to look both defiant and defeated.

Such as: I see you’ve gotten your hair cut.Īnother example said to me years ago by a psychic: “you’re in good shape, considering what you’ve been through.” We’ve all been victim to the innocuously made comment, bland in endorsement, challenging in ambiguity. This entry was posted in every day life, indigo, my neighborhood, reading and tagged Clinton novel, lost planet, reading, the state of terror on Septemby deemallon. But you can see outline, weapon, garb, etc. It’s not the exact magazine ad, couldn’t find that. PPS Below’s the figure quilt is based on. All our back windows now closed (and it’s still loud). PS I shouldn’t have said anything! A backyard neighbor is having their house power-washed. K is soon making his first international trip in more than two years (he used to be gone about a week a month), and I can’t wait to make pancakes for dinner AT FOUR O’CLOCK! For some reason, it’s one of my favorites. Of my two boys, he’s the bigger gamer, hence the wall-hanging based on a first-person shooter game, Lost Planet. In other news, yesterday I mailed off two quilts to C. I won’t spoil anything here by saying the plot turns on the infiltration of the US government at the highest levels by domestic terrorists, features nuclear bombs, and showcases the sharp wits of a few American politicians.
