I just saw the above quote on an artist's page and it made me laugh, so I brought it right over. I love things that make me laugh.
For my birthday back in January, my Mom asked what I wanted. I had seen this solar wind chime/mobile on Amazon and like a child, I wanted it, so that is what I got! I saved it through the cold months when it gets dark so early that there is no time to enjoy what I can see out my front windows, but recently I pulled it out and hung it up. It is multi-colored capiz shells and plastic stars on lines that have the small lights in them. I don't know how long it will last, plastic, plastic plastic you know.... but however long that is, I will be enjoying it out my front window in the evenings.
Pretty cool... huh? I can feel you nodding in agreement.
I found the quote at the first of this post, like I said on another artist's page. I rarely go on Pinterest, but on rare occasion I do. When I first found it years ago I pinned and pinned, back when it was fun and almost like a social media place, where people found other people with similar interests and followed and commented on pins and all that. But.... once it had enough people to sell ads, just like all the others, it changed and was not fun to me anymore. Still, my page is there and occasionally when I am taking a mindless break from everything else, I will pull it up and put in collage or mixed media to see what all is there and for sure, there is some very beautiful, fun and/or funky art there. I try not to fall down the rabbit hole on it....but....
I do sort of like how they have changed the part that if you click on a photo, it brings up other photos of things that may/or may not be similar and sometimes I find the neatest things I am not looking for. The photos come up larger than they used too and I suppose there is so much more there that it is kind of hard to get tired of looking.
I came across this photo of lacy looking paper (or fabric I couldn't quite decide) that looks similar to lace because holes have been burned into it. Yes.... burned! I did see an artist on youtube a couple of months ago that was burning some holes in paper. I instantly imagined me holding a piece of paper in my hand, touching something hot to it and it bursting into flames, setting something else on fire, including my hand or the very least, setting off my fire alarm.
😂
Anyway, I really loved this photo of the multiple pieces of holey paper laying together, partially lit by light from a sunny window... maybe in the evening..... yes, I made up that part, because that's where my brain goes. I do though, I love it because you know, it's not what you see, it's how you see it.
Now of course, I have a desire to burn some paper. I have a small soldering iron. I'm thinking it might work for this.
When I finish this post, I will being going back to the Pinterest for a few minutes.... just a few.... I swears ! ha ha.... ah hem .....and then I will be going back to the kitchen where new food has come in. I put in a grocery order to be delivered between 5 and 7, after I got off of work and by 5:10, it was on my front porch! I put things away and checked expiration dates, just to make sure, but I will be going back soon to see what I will eat and call it supper. It may or may not be traditional.
I managed to get through the working part of my Monday with my good nature still intact, even though I seemed to get work that annoyed me nearly all day. What am I doing that is making that work fall in my path?... or is it all that bad and everybody is trudging through the same? I'll never know... and it's ok that I don't.
3 days to go before a 3 day weekend! I'm counting it down!
