it's been a while since i posted a corner of my home....
the mail gods have been amazingly kind to me of late. wanna see??
jen is an amazing photographer. every time i visit her photostream i am in awe of her sense of composition and color. she really epitomizes the phrase making the ordinary extraordinary to me.... she suggested a trade and i lept. she has an etsy shop as well.
from andrea . miss hula and i have encountered more big and small coincidences in our lives than i can feasibly count. [the latest one being that our dads are both twins born days apart]. she sent me amazing goodies.... including the glove form in the home photo. [i have always wanted to collect them, but thought that the last thing i needed was another collection - and speaking of collections have you seen gwen's ? i love all of hers!]. anyways, andrea also sent me music [which i love] and her daughter ava made me [yes it's for me b/c it says so!] a fantastic drawing about learning to fly and jump::
ali [another flickr favorite] sent me her divinely designed music CD and some buttons. [now of course i want a button maker - like i need another obsession?] you can get some of her fab buttons from her shop
it looks like i'm going to miss out on a wenders visit. sad sad.... but hopefully next time
OH! if you are in Raliegh, NC [ shari are you??] i'm in a summer group show at Bickett Gallery that opens tomorrow night.....
i'm thinking my posts for the next week might be shorter.... more visual? i've been lugging the land camera around with me so there are lots of polaroids.... i'm feeling kind of drained from the long teaching hours.... we shall see.... [i know better than to make promises or predictions] mav wrote about falling into the cracks.... i'm liking the idea of that. although some of my cracks feel like giant fissures....

oh the goodness - thanks for sharing =)
Have a wonderful weekend!
paula
I bet you and your friend who also has a twin for a Dad must have some interesting stories to swap. Any other children of twins out there?
I KNOW you are swamped with teaching and don't want to write much right now, etc. BUT I cannot resist asking that you share some of your ideas about Artemisia. When you get a chance, of course.
hugs & kisses, mav
falling into cracks you say? well remember how many times you find a single beautiful flower growing up from a crack in the sidewalk.
hugs for a good weekend! shari
ps: i wonder if the bickett allows photos?
pss: polaroids? yes please!
as for going more visual, I hear you-- I've been considering the same thing (linked to the photography thing, no doubt). obviously, I'm attached to words but there are days (weeks) when the words don't flow and all I feel like posting are photographs. they often say more than I ever could with my words. when I recently participated in the week of colors (and then continued it for another week), I found the images to be a great impetus for words. sometimes I felt like I had nothing to say and then I'd shoot something and find that I did. and I liked having something visual to post everyday. and now with an unexpected move coming up, I just may have to go this route for a bit. anyway, I'm open to experimentation... and with the photos that you've been taking lately... well, I'd LOVE to see what you're going to post...!
xo to you.
