Random Notes
February 1st, 2007
Funny synchronicity, after writing the post, Angels. I opened up the book I'm reading (The Subtle Knife) and one of the characters finds out she's talking to angels. (I can't condense how this came about, but it's a great book, book II in a trilogy.) It made me smile and made me think of Caroline who asked about synchronicities with books, and yes, I have them all the time. Words appearing at funny, appropriate, or perfectly timed moments. I love that.
It was a good day, I was productive. I'm working on a new art website and just fiddling around with different designs. Not knowing how to work with photoshop very well can be frustrating because there's so much trial and error. The fiansor has been helping me a lot, but I want to learn as much as possible...well, it's slow going, but I think it will look great in the end. In the afternoon, I sat down to an art picnic (seems to be a regular thing now) and I had no idea what I wanted to do. So, I grabbed a nearby sketchpad and a red colored pencil I found on the floor and drew a swirl and that led to a figure which led to an idea that I totally love and I spent the next few hours working away at it. I think I'll finish it up tomorrow.
I haven't been posting everything I've been making lately. There has been a little too much going on with work and school finishing up, but this will shift. I did this little piece last week, It's 8"x10" with collage and acrylic paint on canvas, a pair of love birds, which I'm sending in for artstream's Lovely Hearts exhibition.
There's more to share, but I'm settling in for a little relaxation and snuggle time with the fiansor and the meows. Sadie is snoring away. Heh.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts regarding my cousin. I really appreciate it.

I am such a believer in synchronicity. It happens to me all the time. Sometimes, when I see multiple references to something, I try to work out if there is a specific message or if it is just someone ‘winking’ at me…saying hi…I’m here…
What do you think?

Sometimes it just really does seem like the Universe is trying to send us a message, sometimes comforting, sometimes inspiring – it always gives me a sort of shiver in awe (in a good way) when those synchronicities occur.
The lovebirds are beautiful.

Ooh, I love those books. When I read them, my cat Tesla lay on my tummy most of the time. My own little daemon
. Lovely lovebirds.

Love the birds – would make a fab valentine – so I hope someone goes for it!
His Dark Materials sounds like a great place to be finding synchronicities…
During the week of reading deprivation on the AW it really brought home to me that I expect a whole load of synchronicities to be coming to me from books and that was what I felt most deprived of!
I’ve ordered the next book but its not come yet – when did you say you were starting it?
