a word

remain . continue . stay . endure . sustain . withstand . patience . steadfast

like an apple

may your day line up smooth and straight

with moments that are tart . fragrant & shiny

wrought iron wednesday

amid daily curves and flakes

waits a star in reflection and wood

worn blooms against smooth stone

a hanger found in a parking lot ... shaped like a guitar

with iron .. worn and shaped
my "Imperfect Prose" for this day

one . day . simply

torn papers . frayed fabric . cast aside pieces . call to me
inspiration takes form on 3 inch by 3 inch paper

a snip of an ivory doily found languishing upon a thrift store shelf
becomes a part of this piece yet any medium works together
photos . paint . magazines . wood . wire . nature . words

3 x 3 collage can be a gentle escape for a busy life . it takes little time with no real rules
yet is small enough not to overwhelm you or your space

I encourage you to try this soon . maybe even today
work with what you have . in your own style
snap a photo and post a link at the truly exciting

Inspiration Studio

where we can gather to share and inspire
and today may it be one square at a time

iiiiiii

today is my birthday . . I share it
with a common century plant .. alike in many ways

.
.
.

. . a long time bloomer . . a bit quirky . . always reaching toward life . .




swaying with the wind . . a blue sky lover . . at times hidden in the trees



growing up and out . . a few sharp edges . . displaying bright color of age



times of shadow . . soft strength . . content to be . . a year older
