Day to day stuff....a memoir without order.

A special sig made for me by Mystic and gifted to me by Kat.


Imagination is described by Webster as...The act or power of forming a mental image of something not present to the senses in reality. Albert Einstein said "Logic will get you from A to B, but imagination will take you everywhere." *Idea*

I never realized it until I read it somewhere but there are ways to boost one's imagination:

Create a visual journal
Draw whatever you see for 15 minutes a day. You don't need to be an artist.

Think like an artist
Cut out pictures from magazines & piece them together to create an original image.

Listen to Bach
Close your eyes while playing your favorite music. Or listen to the sounds of nature on a CD or in the great outdoors.

Play word games
Try thinking of as many words as you can that begin with MAR...or you pick.

Daydream
Let your mind wander, or focus on a single object & study its characteristics.

While grocery shopping today, I was astonished at the number of other shoppers who smiled back when I purposely smiled at them. Like...everyone! And I'm afraid I looked a fright. It was March lion windy so my hair went in every direction possible. Maybe they were laughing? Nah.

Have you every heard of artist trading cards? I hadn't until yesterday when I read the words in another blog on wdc so I looked it up. There's a whole other culture out there. It was initiated in 1997 (wow am I behind the times) by a Swiss artist named Vance Stirnemann and now it is all over the place with local and online trading sites. The only real rule is that they have to be 2-1/2" x 3-1/2". Check it out on this Strathmore  Open in new Window. site. Sounds like a lot of fun, going to make some.

until next time...c
