Thanks Mary! Can't type today? Oh that was sooo me yesterday! Couldn't spell either. Some days are just like that...remember that saying, washed my hands today and can't do a thing with them!

Gosh, I can't type at all today, that should say the Breath OF Merlin. Aiieeee!

2007-10-31T08:01:00.000-05:00

That should say bits of the sky but maybe I have some butts of the sky too. I don't want to go in the other direction with that.

Super mandala! Love it.

I've got star dust in me. Buts of the sky. Dead plants and tigers. Ground up diamonds. Creatures from under the sea. The breath or Merlin.

You're more than welcome A Kite Rises! You are a natural writer, every thing I've read of your's is filled with tasty bits.

Urban archaeologists dug into old garbage dumps... then they got sick. It seems the dumps had items/things of people who had died of cholera... the bacteria was still alive and waiting....
Happy Halloween,BbWwwahahahah!

2007-10-28T13:54:00.000-05:00

What an extraordinary thought. I find it uplifting and bizarre at once. I am trying very hard not to think about the implications of all those hideous and horrendous diseases and ailments, plagues and afflictions of the ghosts of our ancestors down through all the dusty centuries, all still floating ghoulishly in the atmosphere, their molecules still on antique china or in the hair of a stuffed grizzly in the local museum! (insert spine tingle here). On the other hand it is giving me some interesting ideas for a whimsical/historical piece for a local radio programme, so thank you!

Zooms...breathe!!!So did you get the tomato problem solved. Was it a pest or fungus?

Beautiful image ldahl, like a deep calming pool of infinite possibilities.

Time, time will bring the smiles Cream.
Thanks!

This reminds me of The Police song: "Every breath you take, I'll be watching you."
I, on the other hand wish that smiles were as easily spread around as a breath of fresh air.
Lovely post, L and beautiful mandala.

Well Dinahmow..welcome back, just in time too as I'm just back also. Sorry to hear about your crash. That can really wreck your life can't it? My drives are getting to the place I'm starting to worry.

2007-10-26T01:07:00.000-05:00

I've been by before, but you were one who dropped off the radar after the "crash" and I have only just found you.
Your footnote to the magazine piece is poetic and prophetic.It's an image I like very much.

2007-10-25T23:33:00.000-05:00

Merisi...yeah, but then you get to thinking about dog breath...heheh!

Thanks Chuang...what a very special thing to say:)

2007-10-24T08:06:00.000-05:00

This is indeed an intriguing accompanying text that you have with that mysterious, yet stylised piece. It's great as it is so individual and eccentric. Sometimes, when I see some design work out there, it seems that people are copying from each other. Yours is original.

Good to see you back at this!

2007-10-24T06:23:00.000-05:00

Beautiful thought.
I never thought of it in the sense that famous people are out there this way, but I am convinced somehow everybody's out there.

Tara, you darling girl!What a sweet thing you have...

2007-10-23T23:08:00.000-05:00

Tara, you darling girl!What a sweet thing you have done for me, Thank you so much! You are such a golden star in my stormy night sky.

Ksklein, I found dark and really creepy things, but I didn't know if that was what you were looking for. I made a list so I will go back and see if there is another link or two to send your way. I'll probably use one or two of the Halloween themed ones on my website...all in all, enjoyed the search as it was a good, moody, kick-off for the spooky season.

Hayden, hey we are the same age! I really was taken by your dream writings. they made me think of so many things! They helped bring on the winds of change that I'm feeling this week. Please come back and visit here, love to have you.

Wilnara what a cool comment,made me feel all misty-eyed!! I just love it when someone can read what I've cobbled together:)

HI VAL!!! You have really been in my thoughts this week! I wanted to let you know your cards survived the floods. I was so happy they ended up safe, it would have broken my heart if we'd lost them. My grand-daughter is only 5, but she is a tough little girly-girl. She loves your pretties...lord help her brothers if they look cross-eyed at your cards as she WILL punch them out!!!heheh

2007-10-23T22:41:00.000-05:00

what a great thing to think about! Love this mandala_like image with the beautiful colours and droplets! So good to hear from you and I am loving this post!

2007-10-23T12:37:00.000-05:00

Its really good to see your post. It's nice to see you moving forward especially with everything. But, one thing is for sure you are still creating intriguing work that still pulls the viewer in by the root and gets us growing with thoughts. :-) You like how I mixed that in. :-) Well, I love how the piece has such a mystical feel. It reminds me of the sky on a very clear night when you can really see the shine of the stars. Beautifully done.

2007-10-23T09:30:00.000-05:00

That brought tears to my eyes.... such a sudden feeling of fullness, of possibility, of connection, of EXPECTATION. quite a jumble of emotions.

thanks for your comments on the dream blog... usually I only understand them obliquely - dreams (the good ones) seem to automatically have the the kind of layering and inference that always means more than it says - like the image, and your words here, do. So as I wake up I start re-writing them - - sometimes verbatim, but often with layers that are pulled free by them, but may not have been there while I was asleep. Odd process, and not very controllable. They come when they come.

2007-10-23T02:46:00.000-05:00

thanks for the links. i was looking for creepy or moody and strange stuff to post. any kind of pictures, animations, artwork, stories which somehow fit to my blog. :) so halloween stuff isn´t excatly what I´m looking for. just dark themes... etc.

And just a wee bit creepy... how are you doing this fine spring/fall day?

Hi Andrea, that is so much of what you paint about. I always love those paintings where you have the bones and fossils under the earth with animals and trees on top.

Cool image and interesting idea. I love the idea of the interconnectedness of all life.

2007-10-22T14:20:00.000-05:00

Hi Eric, thanks, I felt the same way about yours! I could really relate..I think that is one of the coolest aspects about blogging, we get to find the people that are more like us than the people down the street. I truly know what it means to want to understand many mediums and speak oil as fluently as watercolor.
