When Inspiration Calls

It all started a month ago when a box of stripey stones arrived from the most talented photographer/creator Elizabeth Bunsen.
About this time I scooped up paint that was sitting in a muffin tin and finger painted all over stark white canvases.





The colorful but neglected canvases sat in a corner waiting for "someone" to gain a bit of inspiration.

PHOTOGRAPHY
what better way to get one's creativity flowing again!

Mysterious stone-faced towers,  Banyon temples, elaborately chiseled monuments, mountain loads of strewn rock with ancient carvings.
Angkor Vat, Cambodia









Piles of Cairns
my inspiration.

Heart Thought: my cup runneth over walking these ancient lands.
Life and living has so much to teach us.

When Rocks Melt Hearts





It all started with Stripey Stones
and  a beautiful blog    be...dream....play...
A world where Elizabeth Bunsen spins a world of dream like creativity, wrapped around Wabi Sabi words, crowned with gorgeous photography.


 Stripey Rocks, say it softly.
Downey gray, diagonal stripes of meringue.
Baby smooth born from one thousand years of shifting.
Elizabeth introduced me to them.


A very heavy box arrived, festooned with stamps and black willowy silhouettes.
Peeking inside like a child seeking Santa Claus through the midnight window;
the interior, as splendid as a dancing yellow ballroom spilled over into my heart.


 Layers, small offerings, eucalyptus stained silk, velvet bags, dried leaves, such delights
bound in sunset peach yarn and cotton string.
How did she know I love vessels tucked into vessels....small, tiny, tinier?

OX-eb    Ox-eb  love spilled out, layer by layer of lovelies made by her own hands.


Nature's Skipping Stones, carefully wrapped in time rusted cloth.

be...dream...play

There is  more to the story....
 wait and see.
My new treasure will go on to touch other's lives.


If you would like  a destination where Creativity reigns and EB is the designer visit her at Be..Dream...Play.  You will visit for a LONG LONG time.  She has some beautiful handmade coptic bound books, encaustic gems and Stripey Stones available for purchase.

Elizabeth was recently interviewed by Meri
on her new blog, Finally Me.  You will find a glimpse into this marvelously creative and generous woman's life, philosophy and art.
