Macro Monday's theme this week is the color red. I wanted to get as basic as possible, so I put pen to paper and came up with this. HMM.

I didn’t have a decent fountain pen unfortunately, and even this is a knock off Bic!

Pen and Paper

 

"Pen and Paper" used to go together well in the past, nowadays they are being replaced by "Finger and Cell Phone" !

"Music twines away from the stage, fading in to the distance of the cavernous hall as the master of games idles away his time painting a new miniature. The scritch scratch of a paintbrush is interrupted only by the occasional clack as a dice is rolled."

My 9 year old daughter made a little book of construction paper and used a sewing needle and thread to stitch it together and drew pictures in it. Her artwork inspired me to make my own little book using plain printer paper, a sewing needle and white thread to bind the pages together. Over the next few days I doodled in the little book whatever came to mind. The book ended up being filled with various doodles using my favorite black ink pen and filled with all sorts of variations of lines. It was a very helpful way for me to be able to cope in those moments by doing some simple doodles. I appreciated being able to glance through the pages and even found looking at the doodles to be captivating and helpful. I’m thankful I followed the inspiration from my daughter and took the time to create this.

"The click clack of small tools and rustle of paper fill the workroom as the artificer furiously toils away."

As part of a creative endeavor I'm learning about making books. It was a joy that some of my children wanted to join me in learning a new skill. Gideon—age 12–made a few small sketchbooks and gave me one. I chose this green one and was naturally inspired to title it "grow" and fill it with pen & paper doodles that illustrate growth. Intuitively filling these pages with simple doodles as I faced intense physical and emotional struggles following very overwhelming hospitalizations and health complications was helpful in coping. To me I find it amazing how doing "little" things can add up and sometimes be helpful. I faced many intense moments and was thankful I could notice some benefits in making these basic doodles.

A big powwow was happening at Stanford University last weekend. American Indians gathered from all over the USA and Canada. Groups of many different tribes were arranged in a big circle. The tribes drummed and chanted, one group after another, while dancers in traditional dress danced in the center of the circle. Four judges went from tribe to tribe and took meticulous notes on the drum and sing performance. I could not tell much difference between the groups, but I am sure the judges knew exactly how to judge.

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate your critical feedback.

To this date, there is a legend in the land of Fallenwood that speaks of a group of extraordinary travelers, called the Five Furies. This odd collection of adventurers arrived at the border of the land all out of the sudden in the midst of the 6th era of Baridam. At the time, the land was suffering under the cruel rule of Baridam VI. and was plagued by illness and famine, with little hope for the ordinary citizen for a better life. But soon word spread about the odd fellows that seemed so different, yet shared a strong bond of unknown origin.

 

Among the group was a raven haired, athletic woman, only known as the Goldsmith. Wielding a shining gold hammer, she crushed her enemies with unrelenting brutality, yet was generous to the people, using the riches acquired in the raids of Baridam’s strongholds not for personal gain, but to create golden tools and utensils for the poor.

 

Regarded as the most beautiful of the group was a girl called Arrowfeather, who tiptoed along branches and leafs, never spotted by her enemies until her whistling arrows ended their lives. She was said to be an excellent singer and storyteller and some of Fallenwood’s most well known songs and tales are assumed to stem from her.

 

Still worshipped as a goddess in some parts of the land is the Herbalist, a soft speaking, warm tempered woman, well versed in the art of healing and brewing medicine. A pleasant smell is said to have followed her wherever she appeared and breathing it in is assumed to have cured most illnesses already. She was the one to accompany Arrowfeather’s singing by fiddling a tune on her flute, which she always carried around.

 

Most feared, but also admired, was the Arch Magestress. This witty and slender woman was entangled in magical business of the most obscure kind and could conjure everything from a fluffy bunny to a fire boasting dragon with so much as a snap of her finger. It is her, who is said to have climbed mount Everfrost to let lightning rain on the forces of Baridam in the final battle.

 

Lastly, the most mysterious member of the group was the Lady of Glass. Having snow pale skin, some considered her to be a ghost, but as expeditions into the unknown regions of the world have shown years later, she probably was just a Moonshadow Elf far away from home. Law abiding people had no reason to be afraid of her, but thieves and thugs soon learned to fear her, as she seemingly merged with the shadows at night, slaying them when they least expected it.

 

During their travels, the Furies freed the land of the cruel rule of Baridam and brought wealth and health to Fallenwood. However, as suddenly as they had emerged, they disappeared one day, never to be seen again. To this day, it is unknown what brought them here and what common goal bound them together. While they may be no more than mere legends to some, there are still those who pray for their return until this day, as Fallenwood is again on the brink of another age of darkness.

Day 350/366 - I try to carry pen and paper so when I get an idea it does not get lost.

I haven't done one of these for a while so this is my entry for this week's #flickrfriday – Pen and Paper.

In my city the mail often arrives pre-loved by snails. They're particularly fond of stamps. Maybe it's the glue.

 

The link for voting will be / was www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters_temp/new?contest_id=573 - open for one week only. There are 530 entries so far. Voting could be fun as I expect lots of different takes on the snail mail theme!

Flickr Friday, week 19, theme: Pen and paper.

 

pen and paper made me think of my favorite works of writing and literature. this is my favorite poem.

 

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

 

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

 

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of the easy wind and downy flake.

 

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

[Robert Frost]

This is my contribution to "Flickr Friday" and this week's theme "Pen and Paper"...

Well, most of you know that I'm thinking differently - sometimes - so here you will find an Olympus "PEN", the neck strap shaped as ampersand and the word "Paper" build up by, er... paper... :))
