Gorgeous, with those green trees as a backdrop. I've got my own prayer flags out of storage and ready to hang in the patio garden tomorrow.

This composition of both words and images speak to me, I love spring breezes, dappled light, dancing shadows, it's transporting me to when I used to live the middle of a wood.

Nice Meri... I love the prayers flags. When I see them in my travels, I know something about the people that hang them. I'll watch for the lacy shadows and think of you next time I spot them.


Peace

Meri,
This image is so you! So beautiful, filled with living greenery and sunlit shadows and protected by the peaceful, prayerful filigree of Tibetan flags. Beautiful.

Feels like a painting, Meri! The swatches of prayer flags, the light turning the leaves a lime green, the density of the woods... What a wonderful place to sit and meditate, just be. Love this image and your haiku.

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...
