January 24, 2006 11:57 AM- inspiration

The cure for everything is salt water be it sweat, tears, or the sea." ~Isak Dinesen

As a "B" in the blogging the AW, it is my week to provide some additional sparks or to share things that inspire us.

I regret not having any wonderful artwork or imagery to accompany this show-and-tell, but my life right now is getting up in the dark and getting home in the dark. Although I will tell you-- it is a snowy wonderland here today and yes, Lil-- I will post some pics of our downy-wrapped landscape one day soon.

Meantime here are the frankincense, myrrh and (what was the third thing?) of what is inciting me to a revolution of creativity, filling my nostrils with spirit essence and spawning great wild daydreams for me this week:

Green Hope Farm

Altered Art Books

Art & Life

Thanks for sharing your inspiration! I've been working on a circus collage project and your links sent me on a trapeze flight that met some of my collage art needs... perfectly!

Love to read/find/see the inspirations of others. So much fun! I hope you find some light in the midst of your dark mornings and evenings. I know how hard that can be...hope the sun is shining today in the midst of your snowy wonderland.

spooky poppy! That is how I got my nickname! Someone who knew of my intense love for the Atlantic Ocean embroidered that quote for me on a wall hanging. I hope the lighter days find you soon!

I always wanted frankincense and myrrh when I was kid, but now, gold draws me much more...the gold of sunlight, the golden glow of my children's skin, the gold beacons of lights in my windows. :)

I love to find new places for inspiration. I actually found some fabulous books in the library that got my creative juices going. My favorite was one of early 20th century Children's Illustrators.

Great links! You are the multifaceted woman, indeed. And let's just think of how we love the Isak Dineson - it makes me want to break out my copy of Out of Africa and swoon over the love story!
