Your high standard of excellence in word-image combinations. I always enjoy visiting your blog because...well, because there is always a high level of quality here.
B.T.W. will you be visiting Nanka? If you do, could you tell her I cannot make her comment box work, even though everybody else manages to. Please tell her I like her haiku posts very much.
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.)
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...

Beautiful haiku - a short story in so few words!
All the best, Boonie
Trails of balloons and cold mystery.
You managed a virgin in there. I'm impressed.
If you do, could you tell her I cannot make her comment box work, even though everybody else manages to. Please tell her I like her haiku posts very much.
fantastic visual treat...and a story in so few words....
love the blue theme we have managed with out even trying.
This image is so beautiful and befits the Haiku!!
Looks like it is the lull before the storm and she stands secure and confident.
The heavenward offering of the balloons must have instilled the confidence in her.
Blessed One, Haiku My Heart!
