Locked Heart

A locked heart is a problem. Not too sure I have anything more to say about that. Pain is an inevitable part of life. If you are alive, you will get hurt. And if you keep your heart all locked up to "protect" it from being hurt, the next thing you know, it is ruined from being locked up all the time.

I've been sketching a bit. I am not the greatest at doing it but it's enjoyable to me. I usually go into Flickr and choose some poor unsuspecting subject there to sketch. It never ends up looking exactly right but that is okay too.

Dance Reworded :)

Changed the wording a bit.

Dance

I sometimes have the problem of trying to dance in the way I think the other person wants me to dance rather than making my own choices. I lose my own music when I do that. . .

(I don't know by the words on the photo that my meaning is clear. I just got up this morning and did this one. I suppose I will have to think about it some more during the day. A revision may be coming.)

Doll Face

Blogging from my phone! I miss blogging, I want to come back to it. . .

Mother's Day

The card I made for my mother for Mother's Day. The photo is one of her when she was a young girl.

More Fake Journal Photos

In my journal, I have them labeled as different "selves" of mine that have shown up so far. For instance, these represent "The Fixer One", "The Artist One", "The Scared One" and "The Sensual One". "The Wise One" has also appeared up but her picture is different from these paper dolls.

More later. Maybe. :)

International Fake Journal Month

Not only is April National Poetry Month, it is also International Fake Journal Month! I'm participating with a few adaptations of my own. I've scanned in a few of the things I've done in the journal so far and will post them here, but I am not sure I will offer any specifics about my actual writing. I have found that talking too much about it to others makes it harder for me to just relax and let my imagination flow because then I start thinking of what other people might think (sad, but true). It is a fun and imaginative project. I bought a watercolor Moleskine notebook to use thinking I'd have plenty of pages but now I am beginning to worry that I am going to run out of journal before I run out of story!

Here is a scan of the first piece of "artwork" that has "shown up" in the journal. I like the ghosty image of my arm in the background. I am sure you will see my arm and fingers again if I post more pictures of this journal. It's a simple collage made up of a note I'd written to help myself remember an idea for a "thang" I wanted to do, which I just remembered I have not posted on my blog!

Here it is:

I just love my row of cheap Dollar Tree angels!

I'll be back with more, I am sure. :)
