Everyone Has a "Someone"

My Someone by Velásquez©21012

I believe everyone has a someone, a person, "their" person, their love. They show up, they are there to lean on, they bring you joy, they light you up and there is a hole in your heart when they are gone. It is so special to have that someone or to have had them in your life.

When I think of my someone, my heart goes silent with love.

Bird Mobile Prototype

Needed to make something with my hands, I wanted to create away from the computer. I like making simple mobiles to hang around the house and they have a nice energy and movement about them. I found some lovely scrap booking paper in the studio to use for my template. I cut bird bodies, wings and tails. I mixed the color combinations to give the birds interest.

I put a slits on bird bodies in order to attach the wings and tails. You can see the cuts in the above photo. I traced all pieces and put the birds together. For more stability the wings and the tails should be glued on their undersides. After making small holes at the top and bottom of each bird body I attached the birds with thread. I simply knotted the thread to hold the birds together.I may use cording for the final mobile.

Mobile Prototype

Making just for fun!

Word Path • Conversations with Girlfriends

___________________________________________________________________________

Everyone has a word path. One word leads to another.

Word Paths have been a Friday feature showcasing possibilities in written words, creative process and artistic pieces from the beginning of my blog. You can go here, to my first post on this project and see how it all started.

______________________________________________________________________

Nice to be back with a new Word Path after a break for few days. After a month of art everyday it felt odd not to be making something this week.

My days have been filled with great conversation with girlfriends, it is always nice to reconnect. While having these conversations there were sentences, words and phrases that sounded like poetry to my ears. The notebook was out as I wrote words I wanted to hear again, study and play with in different combinations.

I especially loved the conversation about when given a choice, kindness makes a great choice. Loved that and how great to try to live that.

What I love about today's Word Path is that the three friends I had conversations with today live within the story of this Word Path....one said it, one lives it and the other is practicing it.

Thank you, E, J and D

Without expectation

When expectation is taken out of the equation and gifts present themselves when they are suppose to. For example, with my son's drawing he went for it without expectation and beauty appeared in this wonderful abstract painting.

Happy Weekend • Do • Enjoy the Language of Words
