"Nothing is worth more than this day." ~Goethe~

She Strolled Beside the Evening Sea

she cherished the oddities of creation

“Who wants to become a writer?
And why?
Because it's the answer to everything.
To ''Why am I here?''
To uselessness.
It's the streaming reason for living.
To note,
to pin down,
to build up,
to create,
to be astonished at nothing,
to cherish the oddities,
to let nothing go down the drain,
to make something,
to make a great flower out of life,
even if it's a cactus.”
~ Enid Bagnold ~

“What pursuit is more elegant than that of collecting the ignominies of our nature and transfixing them for show, each on the bright pin of a polished phrase?”
~ Logan Pearsall Smith ~

note: much to my amazement, after completing this piece with gold threads and one strand of burlap, I came across this quotation!

“Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread. Both contribute to make the whole picture beautiful and unique.” ~ anon ~

Please take a few minutes to click on the title to visit our Art Bound Camp sessions from previous years. After our 10th year anniversary, we skipped two years while The Journal Lady® was renovating AND writing her first children's book,"The Cat Who Lost Its meOW."
We're ready to return to our very popular summer camp! Weekly sessions are limited in size to ensure individual attention.
