Erosion Bundle Project

Day One: (May your days be) Shiny and Bright!

Kris, one of my favorite artists and friend over at brain-bubbles, is continuing the disintigration collaboration created by Seth (of Altered Page fame).

You can read about it here along with links to participating artists.

My first bundle was formed into a copper mesh envelope of sorts, filled with various small metal objects and adorned with a silver bird. Several mesh streamers are attached with eyelets. It is attached to a paper text bundle, wrapped with copper wire and hung from a tree with kitchen twine. As we usually have several major snowstorms each winter, it will be interesting to see the changes that evolve over the next few months. I fear the paper will not fare well but perhaps the inner layers will provide some challenging elements to incorporate into future artwork.

I am planning on forming another bundle to leave at the new house to see what variety the climate differences create.

Stay tuned for updates!

And please be sure to check out Kris' blog - it is not too late to participate!

  
 
 

 

My little girl is growing up!

Many of you have asked for updates and new photos of Miss Sophie... who knew 7 months ago that love could run so deep?

Journaling by the sea...

 

I have added a photo album of the some of the journal pages done each morning, sitting with mug of coffee in hand, watching the lobster boats haul in their traps and the gulls swooping in for a hoped-for errant treat!

        Last Night the Rain Spoke to Me

by Mary Oliver

Last night
the rain
spoke to me
slowly, saying,
what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk cloud,
to be happy again
in a new way
on the earth!
That’s what it said
as it dropped,
smelling of iron,
and vanished
like a dream of the ocean
into the branches
and the grass below.
Then it was over.
The sky cleared.
I was standing
under a tree.
The tree was a tree
with happy leaves,
and I was myself,
and there were stars in the sky
that were also themselves
at the moment
at which moment
my right hand
was holding my left hand
which was holding the tree
which was filled with stars
and the soft rain –
imagine! imagine!
the long and wondrous journeys
still to be ours.

These two sculptures now grace the imposing Fenway entrance to Boston's Museum of Fine Art. Day and Night were created by Spanish contemporary artist Antonio López García. Each baby face is approximately 8 feet tall and 1.6 tons in weight.. striking, startling and dramatic!

A time for learning to let go and move on, knowing there will be angels there to help us along the way.

Thank you, Elizabeth, for allowing all of us to share in this amazing moment.

Secrets in the Woods

A hidden gem emerged from the winding country road - how lovely to find a secret cache of worn and well-read books ... waiting... waiting for me.

A few friends ambled by to share some quiet moments...

A bit of peace - my soul restored.

A few of my favorite things...

Thought I would start the weekend off with a few of my favorite photos. Enjoy !

               

        

               

My World and Welcome To It...

My heart will forever be nestled in the rolling, verdant hills of the Berkshire mountains. My time spent there is always too short, but I have come away refreshed, with a renewed sense of my place in the world. I'd like to share a few photos taken there this week... sharing a big part of "me". Enjoy!

               

               

                

                

               

               

Sweet Sunday

No new artwork to  post, however I thought I would share this photo - a favorite of mine. It was taken in Paris one afternoon a couple of summers ago. We were wandering the streets and came upon this church procession. This beautiful little girl captured out hearts.
