Happy #Imbolc, Witches! Whipped up this #collage in celebration of our #goddess #Bridgid Many brilliant blessings to all β€οΈ
For #GroundhogDay posting this other famous #groundhog Chunk!
I will definitely be wearing blue π I wish I wasn't so remote, but we do what we must as a hermit π
It's 5pm and feels like 3 below zero with a darkening sky and I am like a hibernating bear half asleep, half awake, stumbling around in my cave losing sense of reality. That's okay. Let's dream about a better reality together. We could use a more efficient one anyhow!
Last night's late night #collage is a vision from #1920s #glamour with a random ancient myth and archaeology theme -- it's absolute #whimsy how I put these things together, I let my #Pinterest interests + aesthetic do most of the work. It's how I relax every night.
Oh. My. It's a heat wave in Wisconsin today. Jumped to Nineteen! I can run a fan in my room again. Count myself blessed.
But this time I know they won't grow back. I'm also feeling like it's a dream where your teeth fall out, yet real! Out of a morbid sense of preservation, I've kept the pieces, almost felt like saving them for a tooth fairy π if only one could pay my dental bills tho! That'd be nice.
No matter. Truth be told, you never know what will weaken your teeth. You can brush, floss, wash, lifestyle choices, age, whatever, enjoy them while you have them. It's a weird feeling to start to lose them. Like reverse puberty. I'm having childhood flashbacks to when I first lost teeth...
I walk with a cane now to help with balancing, but my diabetes still needs managing, as well as my poor teeth! My teeth were strong before diabetes. But I blame years of smoking (I quit in 2010) and sugary drinks for weakness. But decay accelerated after I started insulin (or seemed to)...
My meditation practice helps with pain. And patience. My stroke last year happened on March 6th, almost a full year ago. I had surgery on my carotid artery to clear a blockage and prevent another stroke. So far so good. I've been okay since. Nice scar to remind me of how far I've come...
My poor, crumbling teeth played a part in that stroke, so I have to be careful. My whole left side went numb -- nearly died -- experiencing that made me desire life more, especially desperate to finish projects, make more art. I won't let some rotten teeth finish me before I'm finished w/ life!
I had to break my fast with Facebook in order to let my family and friends know my emergency dental situation. Local dentistry doesn't accept UHC insurance (go figure) so I have to hurry up and wait for help. My life hangs in the balance between phone calls. I had a stroke last year...
My teeth are crumbling. Not breaking. I'm 54 years old and my chompers need replacing. It's something I never thought would happen. I'm back and forth in pain. I used to have strong teeth. My smile is going to change. Meanwhile...
Yes! I can't wait to get mine.
Very cold up here in these woods...
Starting tonight I hope to do a drawing a night. I need to draw again. After several deaths, I lost my desire to draw, then chronic pain made it even more difficult to make art. It's time to break my block. Today it's good to start over.
Made these #collage #Shuffles today in celebration of #DavidLynch 's 79th birthday. I don't feel sad anymore after meditation. There's so much to celebrate. And so much more art to create! Inspiration is everywhere, endlessly being sent out into the universe transcending death. Message received.
I'm a little late, but I did do my usual morning meditation here in North Central Wisconsin, and will be doing my late evening one at midnight central time.
Sounds like a good plan to me!
No! That's not right.
My latest #collage with a #tree #dryad theme, used old.photos of yesteryear actressesses and tree bark textures juxtaposed with various Celt and Norse patterns created via #Shuffles app
I'll go offline on Facebook and Meta from January 19th thru the 26th. I won't be watching the inauguration either. I'm looking forward to not being bothered with all that for a week. I'll focus my attention here and will share art.
My latest #digital #art #collage created with the #Shuffles app from #Pinterest. Collage has become one of my best ways to relax. This isn't vision boarding, it's me letting #random #images fall into my vision to create an #unknown #story
Yay! Just getting started and year 2025 is proving to be crazy already
RIP David Lynch (1946-
You know about death, that it's just a changeβ
not an end.
Never, never! Nothing will die.
The stream flows, the wind blows,
the cloud fleets, the heart beats.
Nothing will die.
It's always a celebration to watch his films and view his art. I also thank him for an introduction to Transcendental Meditation as well. And thank you for everything!
So wonderful to celebrate him with a study of #trees in #davidlynch films!
RIP #davidlynch The world won't be the same without you, yet I hear your voice on the wind now, through the trees...
I can't stand it either. Glad to find you here. Miss your videos/content. Hope you're well!
