since writing this my affection for the red chair has blossomed and now there's no decision to make, it can stay.
MY SACRED WRITING PLACE
My sacred writing place hasn't changed over the years.
It's still a saturday afternoon.
I hide away and can hear traffic far off and dogs barking occasionally.
Noone can disturb me, time has stopped.
But, at the moment, I...
my creative space is a sewing machine table in my bedroom, in front of the window. Stuff is laid out on there, but I don't sit there. For one thing it's too narrow. I tend to end up kneeling and doing collage on my bed. At the side of my bed is th...
i did mine last week. I'm going to send Susan a leaflet as well about the town as the collage hasn't got a lot of images on it. I kind of "make your own kit"? Just joking!
Say, if not ok, and I'll do a more inclusive one.
I did mine at the weekend. It's not crammed with info., just the pretty bits, is that ok?
i get loads of spam msges. anyway, and did do 'fore even coming on CCS, it seems to just one of those things. It was so different from any other msges. I've had from CCS-people that I just presumed this fellow was on the "make". It never occurred ...

Love how the the truth comes through in the last two lines, as it often does, the wonderful clear perception, like a brightly lit sliver of ice. I so hope that the sun contin...

Francesca said… - Hi Ang,
thank you for explaining your creative process for the work above. I love it, it is so fresh and sophisticated. Do you also create with ideas from other world mythologies? I would love to see more works like that!

- Ang, When you click on "comment" beneath a blogpost, blogger will give you options. If you don't have a blog on blogger, yet, just click on "anonymous" and it should allow you to leave a comment then.
Different people set up their comments different ways for security reasons. Sometimes you'll have to enter a code word given on the screen, sometimes not.
That's OK, keep following the directions, and you'll be commenting in no time.

Jules said… - Thanks Angie...I have heard the name Jonathon Talbot before- although I cannot remember in what context...name just sounds familiar. I will look into his book. I talked to a girl who makes jewelery at a recent arts and crafts festival - she assured me that etsy was as simple as simple could be and went on to tell me at first she sold a variety of things and did not do very well- then when she narrowed down to just her main item she began to sell (She had some awesome stuff though- in fact I bought a necklace-something rare for me)
So she got me thinking about it...I also looked into a web site-I found a place where I can get the basics free...then as things grow and you want to spread out they offer different 'expansions' for a reasonable fee.
I may have an option locally though. I just saw in the paper a new gallery place is opening in October...they call it a 'creative space' rather than art gallery- owners are mixed media/progressive art oriented. There is a big chance they would be willing to let me have a showing there- they do not sound as art snobby as what I am used to around here LOL
I have to understand and work through what is stopping me internally.
One of my 'excuses' has been that I do not have enough paintings for a good showing...so I have been painting a lot- and actually finishing them...the varnish has been put on- when it dries frame assembly will begin. With that 'reason' being out of the way maybe I can muster the self-confidence to get something out into the world. I have to tone down the Moon, rising sign and cusp influence (all water) some Aries fire and confidence would come in handy about now
Thanks for your interest

- Angie, No problem on the response timing. I've looked at posts, then gone on through other e-mails or discussion threads, forgetting to go back & respond. No worries!
I hope everyone is doing well on your side of the world. School is in full swing here, and I'm just trying to keep up with the paperwork... :-)
Hope your children are doing well. They're blessed to have a mom that will do so many cool things with them!
Enjoy them while you can...they grow up fast...

Carol Clark said… - Yes Angie, I have my husband here and a Dr. Thank you so much for asking and caring.
I'm recovering from a severe anxiety disoder/depression, and it is rough.
I've received more help from you folks "miles away" at CCS than people "closer" to me.
Thank you again, and God Bless.
