The sky shrinks to make room for thought
Leaves fall and cover the earth.
It smells of soil and return.
Autumn:
The season in which one learns
to leave emptiness behind.
⁛ In falling, everything remembers its root.

My heart, my words. Please respect them.
Every poem, every story, and every thought I share is a part of my soul. To take them without permission is to take a piece of me
a piece that will always remind you these words are mine and can never be yours.
Even if you alter them, it is still my soul that lingers, whispering to you: You are incapable of creating your own, and that is why you copy what belongs to others.
Enjoying the sunset

Gracias por la visita, comentarios y favoritos.
Thank you very much for your visits, comments and favorites ♥.
Supplies were:
A 12 by 12 piece of Plexiglas (you could use any size or use regular glass instead).
A rubber type brayer,
Acrylic paints: I like the thinner craft paints like Folk Art.
Leaves: I used rhubarb leaves and tansy, but others just work as well!
Squares of cotton sheeting or muslin. I used 12 by 12 inches
Cardboard to cover your surfaces
These are prints I created with rhubarb leaves or tansy leaves. I loaded some more of these on flickr if you look at the photostream. I painted acrylic paints on to a Plexiglas square and laid the leaf on to the painted surface. For one print I left the leaf on the painted Plexiglas, rolled paint over the leaf and put the cotton sheeting square over the whole thing and rolled over it with a rubber roller. Then carefully I took leaf off of the Plexiglas and laid it on a square of cotton sheet and rolled over it with the brayer. For a third print I laid sheeting over the Plexiglas that had the removed leaf for a “ghost” print. I liked all the prints!
Tips: The acrylic dries fast so have your cotton squares ready to go if you want multiple prints!.
Use up some scraps cotton to clean up your paints and you can use them in art quilts. You can flatten the leaf a little with the brayer before you use it to get more vein detail. Try stripes of colors on the glass or use just one color to get different effects.

Consciousness ----------------- Touch ----------------- Movement
A continuous and connective 'bridge' of thoughts and images as one travels through experiences, conflicts, clarity and abstractions of consciousness, attempting to better remember her passage by means of establishing visual-emotional connections, while traversing the Living Bridge to arrive to existential realizations. Suggesting mankind's evolution towards greater compassion, empathy, acceptance and that which is experiential and tangible as opposed to virtual.

Once upon a time, there was a feeling, gentle and timid, that lit up the sky. A word born in the first glow of the heart, a tender touch known only to lovers.
It carried the softness of dawn’s first light, pure and bright.
Swirling thoughts embraced them both, until time fell like rain on tender roots, patience, understanding, and so love blossomed in full splendor.
Now it lingers, warm and true, marked by the morning dew.
It was a feeling that united two hearts forever.
⁛ Where the heart once opened, time has no dominion.

Il n'aurait fallu
Qu'un moment de plus
Pour que la mort vienne
Mais une main nue
Alors est venue
Qui a pris la mienne
Qui donc a rendu
Leurs couleurs perdues
Aux jours aux semaines
Sa réalité
A l'immensité
Des choses humaines
Moi qui frémissais
Toujours je ne sais
De quelle colère
Deux bras ont suffi
Pour faire à ma vie
Un grand collier d'air
Rien qu'un mouvement
Ce geste en dormant
Léger qui me frôle
Un souffle posé
Moins une rosée
Contre mon épaule
Un front qui s'appuie
A moi dans la nuit
Deux grands yeux ouverts
Et tout m'a semblé
Comme un champ de blé
Dans cet univers
Un tendre jardin
Dans l'herbe où soudain
La verveine pousse
Et mon cœur défunt
Renaît au parfum
Qui fait l'ombre douce

Their Feet Shall Manifest
This is an assemblage made with many pieces of found metal such as a old drawer pull, a pair rusted scissors, , old key , a tiny copper foot and other vintage embellishments . I joined them all together to create an evocative fictional relic. It is 6 inches tall and 4 inches across. I used odd pieces of text from an old latin book to create the wording. The piece has wire on the back to easily display the work. It also has a poem on the back. I try to make the back of my pieces as interesting as the front.
They sat where the roots had counted centuries,
yet in their eyes time held no claim.
The lines upon their faces spoke of journeys,
and their silences guarded tender secrets.
Love had not faded with the years
it had only deepened, like the tree that sheltered them.
⁛ Some hearts never grow old.

In this frame,
branches entwine with silhouettes,
as if the trees themselves
have learned the rhythm of human breath.
Shadows dance across faces,
bodies bend like limbs in winter winds,
and the quiet ache of nature
finds its partner in our fleeting steps.
I mix what is rooted with what is restless
the stillness of earth,
the motion of people,
a dialogue of silence and song
Praying?! More like Talking Mantis..
