Birdwatching: Ryhme or Reason?

There was a young girl that was literally split into two. Her curiosity was such that it made her coo coo. She would climb up trees and dream of taking flight with the breeze. As her little feathered friend seems to share with some ease. Her friends were the woods and little woodland creatures that when she got lost she she wandered what a feature. Oh to be such a carefree spirited girl. Who had all day just to dream, fly and twirl!

Just a quickie today!

and a new blog head! Yeah! Will that make me keep up with my blog?
Maybe that and a stick of Dy-No- Mite!!!!! Lol. seriously I have a ton of new work and it will be at least a little while before I run outta steam! was going to try a daily journal too.... ok. one day at a time! Chow for now!

an old wive's tale........

going into another direction...... she makes her way with some apprehension..... making her way across the heavens knowing the direction she is taking is beyond suspension....... she must cut the ribbon with more perseverance for it has been holding her back for many a long years...... let the bird fly it's way and never to look back!


basically it's spreading your wings and soaring high ,learning to fly again way above the rest..... weeding out that personal garden so you can begin to live a life that is better than ever going into a direction where you can persevere over the obstacles that have been holding you back for far too long........

Like in Moline's blog it's just a reflection on doing some of some own personal weeding ........
it's been quite some time since I have done some personal reflection..... 10 years in fact and have lost a part of myself i am hoping to get back!

smells like a series of old wive's tales! lol.

Ok. I'm sorry.....

besides being a happy blogger slacker I have now set my flickr to friends and family ONLY!

My ex husband is into stalking and he doesn't deserve to "see" anything I have to offer!

But if you would like to become a friend... please note me and I will try to include you !

I only friend.... est. accounts so be aware I do ck them out!

anyway, here are some of my latest creations! hope you love'm! have a few more coming soon too! Mistresses secret pretty much says it all well.... at least to me! lol. but then who knows what I am thinking when I name these sometimes!

Ok. "winged Vanity" happens to be my total fav! I have been playing with this comp.

ohhhh forever! and finally I found the polaroid and BAM!her whole reason for being revealed...

I just *love* the feel of this peice and every part of it! Eventhough it is a bit more out of the box than my regular peices! maybe that is why I love her sad little face sooooo much!

and last but NOT least.... my subdew she's feels the lurking behind her..... but never to worry! it's more your imagination little lady!

Ok. I will try not to slack too much..... (no promises! :)) but I should have a few more montages coming soon!

Also they are now available in my etsy shop!

I AM A BLOGGER SLACKER!!!

well, since I seem to be so into my poor negleted blog I have decided to post some of my cool Alice series which I have yet to finish..... there are two more that I have been working on for awhile now! Yes, I know Slacker! Noooo, just a ADD child!

I get easily sidetracked and as of late... I have been hot on the heels of my genealogy project!

I am soooo addicted to it!

I have put up some new ababdoned work but pics on here will have to wait or HEY! you can view them on flickr!

Well here I am again......
I have been so inclined by looking at other art and feeling like it was high time to get off my dead and do a few soulful peices that I have been wanting to create.
I ran across this picture of the older couple who are still close together and holding hands so warmly for their picture, it made me envious of their will....
wether it 's truth or just the fiction running amuck in my brain it would be wonderful to know you could have but one true love in this life.
Something that would stick like glue with a little hard work...... and just exist forever!
Hence the Name of this peice is "Promise of Love Everlasting".
In a throw away society wouldn't it be kvell to have such promise.....



I guess somewhere in my ramblings I should have established where and why this came about. I had done these pictures of old abandoned ..... worn out..... places many moons ago. They are my favorites and a series thet is near & dear to me.
It's a group I keep coming back to because let's face it they are how I usually feel anymore in this life.
It just seems to me that these are more serene moments where there is only you & your soul standing in the middle of nowhere, wind whistling, sunlight warm on your face and no more trouble of everyday life to procure.
Just you the sunlight and the wind wondering aimlessly about just happy to breath in and breath out, no cares , and no worries.
Of course it could be that I have been listening to Mad World by Gary Jules (Tears for Fears)

Anyway, the apples signfy love, prosperity, fertility, and growth. the feather is a uplifting of thoughts. The water signifies keeping their love above water and eventhough there are some ripples they can still see their reflection as a couple together still holding on. Life is about keeping it all afloat whether it is in the past, present or future ......
Some days it's sitting on that sill waiting for you to notice it's presence
but wherever you are, it's there waiting for you..... you just have look through the darkened room and notice.

OK. enough of this deep dark meaning behind my merky mind.
I hope that you will enjoy the images.

Now Open!!!
