teeth line up against
each other, biting sharply
gears turn in tandem

Goodmorning,

Rusty circles turn
Hope no spanner in the works
Keeps the running smooth


Hope Rebecca is ok.

I find this photo fascinating as well. It does communicate on many levels and I think that urban machinery and farm machinery have their own beauty--the shapes of the wheels and gears and the colors of the oxidized paint. I found this wonderful link. I thought you might like it.

'Iron sharpens Iron'

This is a beautiful image in the golden light.

There's a mill stream in my garden which leads to a historic working flour mill this machinery reminds me of the ambience of that place!

Thank you

Astrological Profile

Image
So. . . according to the time and place of my birth, my Sun is in Virgo. My Moon is in Scorpio. My rising sign (Ascendant) is in Aries. I tend toward perfectionism and can be critical, sometimes directing it at others but mostly toward myself. I have emotional depth and when I fall in love, I'm totally committed and expect the same of my Beloved (though my secret fear is betrayal). I like being active and my mind is quick. Knowledge is important to me, as is mastery of things that interest me. I tend to dive into things headfirst and sometimes I let myself go hogwild. . . and wear myself out. And often, once I know as much about something as I need to know, I lose interest and am off to the next shiny thing. What's your profile? (And I know that the good stuff applies, but the bad stuff is just so much bunk.)

Art Journal Pages # 34

Image
It's been a while since I worked in my "real" art journal, the one I collage and draw in after having painted the watercolor paper pages with liquid watercolors. Well. . .  painted is probably not an accurate depiction, since I usually saturate a wadded up paper towel  and smear the damp paint on, or maybe sponge it on. And then wait. And wait. Waiting for the page to dry. Then I begin to glue various things onto pages with Yes paste or acrylic gel medium. And wait again. It can sometimes take two or three days to find just the right things for the page, adhere them, and wait for the layer to dry so I can build in the next one. Meanwhile, the thickness of my art journal expands like an unruly waistline. Digital art journaling, on the other hand, is much tidier. And quicker. And just as layered and nuanced. I make these babies on Polyvore.com. If you're interested in learning how, email me (meriak@y...
