The final push

one of the something news

As I birth something magnificent into the world.

As I try something new.

As I take the steps in the directions of where I want to go.

As I gather the courage in my mouth.

As I give it a go.

As I put my heart and soul on the line and the sleeve.
(Maybe that's the only place for them, really).


I want to say right here, right now,
that I am freaking proud of you Leonie.
Go get them dreams, baby.

May you be freaking proud of you too, darling heart.

love and light,
Leonie

Art Circle Dreaming

We had our first artists circle a few weeks ago ~
a precious afternoon painting with our feet,
releasing expectations,
having instant photo shoots in the compost heap,
drinking tea, picnicking,
not so much MAKING art but PLAYING art ~
and I think that's the important thing.

Here's some delish photos from the day ~
you can see more at the Flickr set here.

our masterpiece
or:
just one of the side effects of our masterpiece:
the true masterpiece is creating.

may your days be filled with the masterpiece of the moment,

~ p.s. i've been interviewed over at the lovely colored sprinkles blog :) thank you patty!

blue

Every so often I play little creative games for the day.One happy day was taking photos of every blue thing I saw with my cute old Samsung V3 dodgy digi cam. It's cute in that kind of four-year-old-digital-appliance-rendered-almost-vintage kinda way.

One thing it does do nicely is take good photos of blue.

It was totally interesting to spend one day consciously observing and filtering for one particular colour... I ended up finding about 50 objects and made a blue~matrix of them...



Some of my favourite pics are...


my boss's water bottle (delicious)


a sign near our food markets...


this dangly-things-for-adults hangs from the ceiling in a shopping centre...


found this in the window of a kid's store... can that bird be any tweeter?


mountain home at sunset


painting in progress which later turned into "joy heal love fly" painting

an observation on the state of blue:
currently the trend is for more navy coloured blues than the vibrant turquoise-aqua ends of the field (which are more my vogue). i'm wondering if it's because i took these during winter and somehow colours are seasonally variable?

what are the colours in your world?

sending you oodles of blue-dles,
Leonie
