The creative and spiritual journey of a (textile) recycler. . .

I have thought about starting a blog for a long time now. I just couldn’t seem to get started. I thought. . what would I say, what would I do and really . . . . . who would care.

Last year I had the great fortune to witness a ‘happening’. As a spouse at a reunion (I know, groan) I was both an observer and participant. This reunion was attended by some of the most creative and talented people on the face of the planet. Really, no exaggeration! But many were holding onto life long insecurities. They didn’t think they were talented enough and embarrassed to perform in front of each other for fear of . . who knows . . . finger pointing, whispers, laughter, ridicule of some sort for sure. Once it was revealed that many shared the same feelings, the healing began. And I was the lucky one. I got to witness it all and benefit as well.

So, the message is that we all think we are not good enough compared to someone else, but we are. Don’t let your fears and insecurities stop you. We can’t measure our own success by someone else’s talents.

This revelation and the kindness / support of strangers has propelled my creative journey to a place I had given up ever getting to. Tho I thought my creative juices were dried up forever, they have merely been reawakened. Many thanks to all involved in my process, including in-part . . Victoria B, Mrs. W., Charles Mc., Claudia H, Mary B, Cindy G, Sandy B, Traci B., Kat C, and my IAA family. So, thank you. I dedicate this blog to all of you!

Summertime Scavenger Hunt - 2013: Clouds

People tell me that they never see anything in clouds. 

Well, there must be something wrong with me.
I see something in just about every cloud.

When you get to the end, feel free to tell me if I'm crazy or not...

flying bird
angel or crusader holding cross in right hand
man yelling or blowing wind
(head & shoulders, facing right)
shark going after little fish
long haired, beared man with smoke billowing out of pipe
(man facing left)
dragon, shark, boar traveling together
strong man
mouse


dinosaur
(mouth open, facing upward)
shark jumping in air
angel
(wings on left side of angel)
puppy sitting on cloud
skull
(2 dark eyes in center, mouth & chin at bottom)
curved hand reaching up

I can't tell you how many cool clouds I had to pass up.
Either traffic was moving too fast,
or the trucks blocked my view,
or too tall trees were in the way..
ugh.. so aggravating.

And no.. I don't take pix while driving. That's not safe.
I was the passenger.

So were you able to see what I saw??
Some of them have secondary images which I did not identify.
 
Cloud recognition is fascinating,
isn't it...

    I love, love, love this post! What a wonderful group. I think my favorite is the puppy sitting on the cloud, although I may have called it a polar bear cub. I also really like the first bird and that skull is downright creepy!

    That big shark about to eat the small fish is my favourite. What a great collection!

    I wouldn't call you crazy at all, just very imaginative! My favourite is the shark going after the little fish.
