I made this card using the Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Floral Greetings and MFT Horizontal Stitched Strips. I used gold embossing powder and vellum for the leaves. I made this for the latest SSS flickr challenge #51
Most of today has been spent making notes. Zoom meetings, phone calls, reading student work, planning for further socially distanced course delivery and drafting sections of a paper that I should have had finished *ages* ago. I'm still one for old-fashioned pen and paper. I'm also quite OCD when it comes to pens and notebooks. For example - in this particular work notebook I have to use a fountain pen with a specific blue ink. Yeah, I know. Weird.
A little note from me to some admins:
Please do not place any invitation likns on my images if you really insist on my giving awards in your groups because I have no intentions of upsetting you by violating your group rules. Please read carefully before you place any invite links for any invites placed under will be regarded as those that require no compulsory awarding.
Nevertheless, I appreciate anyone who visits my photostream. Thanks for your kind understanding!!!

一張可以完全表達一個人對照片內容的最深沈的感受的照片才是張絕佳的照片。
A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

As part of the hidden gardens in Vannes, this garden of pots was not hidden but beautifuly laid out in a wave.

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."~Aldous Huxley
Music is passion...

What would life be without music?
The world would be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and the definition of society.
Music has had a very strong impact on my life. I have been brought up in a musical environment. My parents are great musicians and my idols. Musical melodies bound my family together. I believe that music has healing powers. If we had arguments or family problems, we used to sit together, sing, dance and spend a musical evening. These musical evenings are embedded in my soul as beautiful memories. I dedicate this project to those precious moments.
In this project, I desire to emphasize that common men, women and children practise the art of music besides their daily routine work. Firstly It seems in recent years being busy has become the rule rather than the exception. Anywhere you go you would find people who have no time for themselves and therefore no time for exploring their musical talents.
Secondly in India we do not really appreciate careers in the unconventional fields of music and arts. The mindset of parents and society is such that it does not allow such talents to come out. They want their children to grow up to be either doctors or engineers. Any field in which the future is uncertain or risky is strongly discouraged.
The fact remains that there are so many people who are very talented but are either not able to explore their talent or not able to use it. It is due to this reason that these people go unheard.
However there are people who fight against all odds to follow their dreams. They take time out from their busy schedules be it their work or studies to practise music. Through this project I would like the highlight and bring to limelight the hidden musical talent in people; people who obey Shakespeare when he says, “If music be the food of love, play on...!”
The other photographs related to this project will be published as part of a book... The preview can be seen in my facebook profile...

(Note: I didn't take this photo, our friend Barb did)
Sage's mom, who still lives near where we lived in the Ozarks, takes apart peoples' discarded sweaters and reassembles them in to these gorgeous rugs. I've seen her work for years but not all together like this. Very striking.
This batch is headed off to be sold at the Midwest Wimmins' Festival.
Thanks to Barb for coming up with the idea for this photo and then making it happen.
love note
to the me
i am becoming
new challenges
i am confronting
and what
is this to me
hiding
in contemplation
a reevaluation
that surges
with delight emergent
pushing forward
expectant yet
having
a cascade of vitality
continuance rather than longing
unfolding aimlessly
the former
opened and flourishing
a blueprint of my future
individuality

Dovremmo sai
a questo punto decidere
dove si va.
E dimmi poi se è vero o no
che siamo qui
come nuvole nel vento........

Compositionally Challenged Week 7 is Still Life. To get the light and shadows the way I wanted took some experimentation with manual exposure and a handheld external flash.
This is my way of saying that old-fashioned note cards, written and addressed by hand, and sent via snail-mail still have their place in our modern world.
