I hav...Mending paper .... what a wonderful thought. I have been mending wood over the last year and slowly collecting little pieces which I'm not yet sure how to bring together. We seem to be in a similar mind space at the moment..... Being pulled toward mark making, simple symbols, spirals and crosses ... gut feelings, meditative work ... but there are the things I should be doing .... deadlines to keep. <br /><br />When the house has been busy... many visitors, workman, plumbers, painters stomping through, I need a big chunk of quiet time to restore the balance. My husband will go off on a fishing trip which is his form of meditation and I will take that time as a retreat at home with no visitors, or shopping trips, TV, newspapers. Just time to carve uninterrupted and be still.ArtPropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15853722164314994360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-81130697091446415732010-09-16T17:25:08.247-05:002010-09-16T17:25:08.247-05:00Thank you so much for that affirmation.

So, it is wonderful to have your feedback....sensitive and thoughtful as you always are.

I like that there are two forms, alike but different, connected yet not eclipsing each other...I like that they evoke both ripples in water, and waves of sound, and rings of a tree, and that the lines have limits but also suggest continuing beyond the moment captured here, that this could be the beginning or part of a piece in progress or the whole thing right there in all its simplicity and lingering question. Faces? Fingerprints? The possibilities are endless. Maybe that's why I like it! Who'd have thought, so simple yet so evocative!Gisizeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842508709852026701noreply@blogger.com
