Let’s start with the yellow brick road.
When I looked for a picture of it on the Internet this morning, I not only
found it on a blog – I also read the words accompanying this pic,
written by Vanessa Leigh:
“The yellow brick road,
the road to everywhere
and nowhere at the same
time…. …in my life, there
have been so many paths
that I have taken, ones
that have been yellow
brick roads to my goal,
my pursuit, my dream,
or so I thought at least.
Some of the yellow
brick that I have followed
have been dead ends…
….
….
But, every path was meaning, every brick in those roads was purposeful
and meaningful, and I needed to gain full trust in myself that I knew,
deep within, which way to go. I ALWAYS trust my soul now, no question.”
Isn’t it special, that you go looking for a picture and than, unexpectedly,
you “meet” someone new who wrote words that speak to you immediately?!
Words that could have been written by yourself, that you wish you’d written?
This kind of things make my day, and it all started with a challenge
at ScrapMojo: “Use your fav quote from Wizard of Oz.
Anywhere anyhow on your creation. The second part of our challenge is
to use the color orange or yellow on the page.
“What would you do with a brain if you had one?
I love that quote!
And making a collage with this quote in mind was too funny!
Wanna know what’s funny too?
A lot of the students in my online workshop are totally into collage
and doodling since there were lessons about that, and I keep seeing
funny collages popping up in their galleries! LOVE IT!
I think it’s pretty special that I gave them the inspiration to explore this
techniques! It makes me proud!!!
Anyway, here’s a
close up of my
“brain head.”
It looks kinda
ugly but it is
in fact a delicacy
(“guinea-fowl
in red wine sauce”)
(for the Dutchies:
Parelhoen in rode
wijnsaus) I cut the
picture out of a
magazine and added
eyes and mouth.
And can you tell by
looking at her hair that
I’m zentangling lately?
I planned a lot of creative activity last weekend but all I did was
working on instruction video’s for my workshop and some housekeeping.
I have so many idea’s and projects in my mind but every time I want to
start working on it, something else comes up…
Oh well, that’s life. But maybe today?
It’s only 11 a.m. and the only thing left on my to do list for today
is some grocery shopping (and cook diner tonight) so I should be able
to catch some “me time” this afternoon.
On my wish list:
- Make some more music ATC’s.
- Create a funny collage with the guinea-fowl leg I cut out together
with the “brain”. - Play with the stamped images Glenda sent me (thanks sweetie!)
- Make another art journal page (in my miscellaneous or music journal?)
- Search for the photo I have in mind for months now and finish the
last page of my Leonard Cohen art journal. - Work on my new online workshop.
- Zentangle another page in my little zentangle journal.
Aaahhh, the most difficult part will be choosing what to do…
And what are your plans for today?
Whatever it is, do it with heart and soul and enjoy life!
Je t’embrasse!
