inSPIRIT

I discovered this artist's wonderful blog! I love the textures she creates using cloth and thread. There are so many pieces to choose from and the above picture is one of my favorites. Surfing her blog is so inspirational it makes me want to pull out all my scraps of cloth and thread and just start sewing. Have a peek at her sight and get inspirit/inspired!

Turbulent Weather Revisited

As part of "Buried Treasure" here is my re post of an earlier one, from June of 2006,that reminds me of those serendipitous moments we have as artists. Combining art and life comes to me at times and seems profound looking back. Always reminding me to enjoy every moment of this life we have.


We ride through the turbulent weather
with a heavy heart.
Through the doubt we arise
and conquer our fears.
For the wind carries us to new heights
and life continues to surprise us.

Summer has just begun and the promise of loveliness is upon us. Let us not waste a moment of this precious time. Go out and enjoy that warming sun, smell those fragrant flowers, feel those gentle breezes, dive into the water and emerge refreshed, rejuvenated, and relish in the feelings of summer.
