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 ~

Take some time to mosey around. My work is always in process.

"ART is just another way of keeping a JOURNAL" ~ Pablo Picasso
It's been awhile since we shared a 'PHOTOGRAPH' of a small calendar my husband doodles on a daily basis. This is just another FUN way we keep a visual journal. A few of my flickr photos will correspond to a particular one inch square post! If you have a sec, click on this image for more flickr journaling commentary!
