Dust

I am so annoyed by dust. To free my surroundings from dust is an ongoing, losing battle. But perhaps I could look at it from a different perspective:

Is dust not material broken down into its smallest visible parts? Like stars. Or rocks. Plants. Animals. Even humans. Ashes to ashes, Dust to dust.

When dust falls onto fertile ground, it gets absorbed and clumps together into the manifestation of something new and cherished to birth life into. Perhaps a precious stone or a beautiful flower.

Dust is the building block of new manifestation of life in liminal space.

Watercolors

My new St. Petersburg watercolor set full of scrumptious colors. It’s good to always make a chart of new watercolors because they never look the same on paper as they look in the pan.

Art Journal

This is my new hand-bound coptic stitch art journal. Its front and back feature prints of my own photographic images, and its pages are composed of a variety of scrap paper. I like to use this type of journal for collage and mixed media.

Honoring Tea Culture

Honoring tea culture and the donkeys, horses and mules used to transport tea was my inspiration for this mini mixed-media collage. It is part of a little tag journal that I did. (A tag journal consists of tags held together by a ring, whereby the tags are used as the journal pages.)
