create vision
Vision is one of the secrets of personal transformation. We are all artists, our mind is the arena of creation and vision is what we are constantly creating.
Always start with vision not action. See it and you will be it. Be it and you will do it. We don’t ‘get a life’ as some would cynically tell us – we create our life.

tiresome - but gorgeous
i woke early this morning with a strange noise pervading my dreams.... tap tap, drip drip, knock knock, thwat thwat..... what WAS that?
i sat up in bed and concentrated my hearing and found that the noise was coming from the corner of my bedroom, behind my bedside table..... but there was nothing there....
sleepily and not quite with it... i opened the curtain, surely it must be raining or something? but no.....
outside the garden was ALIVE with 30 or more blue tits all busily collecting seed… Continue

Land Art - Richard.... i am catching up with you.....ha ha!
Hey everyone... inspired by Richard Shilling i was at the beach with a friend today and felt the urge to have another go at some landart.... the wind was incredibly strong and it was a struggle to get the stones to remain upright - wobbling all the way through as they did.
But we took photos throughout (and a little video, may post another day) and luckily i got right to the last level and shouted "quick take a picture"! Barely had the photo been taken and the stack toppled.... but i was deligh… Continue

My first experiment with Land Art
hI everyone - see what you think. I headed off to Climping Beach in West Sussex, UK today with my able assistant (ha ha sure he would be pleased to be called that!!) who was to be the photographer!
I gathered a load of cuttlefish bones, beautiful pink seaweed, some drift wood and shells.. and here below in pictures and video... is the result... tell me what you think of it!
I love the idea of doing art and leaving it behind for others to find, or add to and ultimately, in this case, the tide w… Continue

Richard Shilling said… - Hi Jane, apologies for the delay in replying, been ill in bed for a week.
But hey, I think it's pretty good actually as I know how hard they are to make and it has taken me quite a while to get to where I am. Anyway you had fun and have a thirst for more. What else could you need!

- Well, you may be very sorry you asked me about thorns! I could write a very long and boring dissertation about thorns.
Yes hawthorns are the ones but they are not all the same. I am not surprised you really struggled with brambles thorns, they aren't anyway near strong enough. Hawthorns come in several varieties: dead ones which are brittle, new ones that are too bendy and thin and thick usuable ones. You can use the others too but not for piercing wood, the dead and soft ones are fine for stitching leaves for instance. The stronger ones are suitable for piercing wood as I say, but still many will break and snap and you are bound to stab yourself a lot too! It's important to get wood that is soft enough too and thinner thorns are better for pinning things into circles as they split the wood less. You'll need to get to know the thorns, and different trees too as they can vary from tree to tree and then experiment and practice. But then that is what land art is all about! By setting yourself the challenge of making something you get the opportunity to learn all about thorns. And then you'll start noticing where they all are and how they can be very different and which ones are good and which less so. The resultant sculpture is the least important part! Good luck.

- Hi Jane,
Wow you've really made my day! I am so thrilled that you like it, I hope it gives you a lot of pleasure. I really poured my heart and soul into it and I hope that comes across. Haven't spent any time on here for a while, I'm spread a bit thin as usual and have several other projects on the go. Hope it spurs you on to do more land art of your own. What other activity could be better! Even in winter, so bring on the frost! ;-) Kind regards Richard

- Just to reiterate to you, dear Jane, that your comments here were totally accepted and honored in grace and gratitude!...regarding http://coachcreativespace.ning.com/photo/its-a-girl-2?page=1#comment-827120_Comment_231588
Oh no, jane! No expIanations needed! I never thought of your comments as being critical at all! I had a feeling that some would find the weird perspective in it!
In fact, I was afraid to post it, as there are women who might associate this with negative things...you know how dolls are...they can look frightening or playful, depending on peoples' experiences and perspectives...
I thought viewers would see this rattle as me being an artist with a mean, sadistic streak in it...though it was made with love and celebration!
Art is interesting because of the various perspectives that the viewers bring to the art!!! I thank you and honor your perspective! Love and hugs from Dabs
