CHINESE REFLECTIONS

Postcard Friendship Friday

This is my postcard to
share with you today!

 

This week I have made several

art pieces with Oriental Themes

so when I found this postcard I thought it

would be perfect to share with you this week!

The scene is so peaceful, so serene.

  I can almost hear the distant strains

of Oriental music in the background

as she sits undisturbed, and perhaps, 

she is in love and thinking of him

as she stares at her beautiful reflection

in the still, tranquil water. 

Thank you for visiting my site today!

I hope you hope you liked my

 Postcard Friendship Gift 

because I picked it out with special thoughts,

just for you! 

I wish for you

 to have a

leisure-lazy,

fun-filled,

laughing until you cry,

 full  of  the joy

of just bein' alive

kind of weekend!

And,

 take the time to look at your own reflection 

 because

you're beautiful!

God Bless you!

Kymberly

 Please enjoy and have a wonderful day!!

Thank you for visiting my site!

LOOK !! I'm sharing a new blogger friend with you!

http://tatteredgold.blogspot.com/

I got up this morning to read

my e-mail and found this lovely blog

amoung my good morning greetings!

I immediately went over to visit and

 met Paula Laurens, author of Tattered Gold!  

 I knew I must share this amazing find with you!

But... how to put what I felt into words?

I will try...

but you will have to visit her

to see what I am trying to describe!

Paula's blog is her journal,

 a spectacular vision inside the unfailing

heartbeat of her desires and struggles

 to live with the determination  to follow

her aspirations and fully achieve

the life she wants to live!

Her journal is a wonderful work of art!

  Her soft, flowing words are interweaved

 around beautifully written poetry 

   displayed in delicate vintage frames. 

 

 As you move down the pathway of her prose,

it's as if you have begun a journey of souls.

Her strength and courage is a reflection of

what you know is true for your own convictions.

 

Once you've read the first post,

you feel a a sisterly bond that is 

 beyond what her words can say!

Such beauty should be shared

for others to experience the

quiet peace and tranquility

of one woman's endeavers

 to cultivate her dreams and

live out her artistic passions!

 

Such Extradinary Work!  

I was simply captivated!

 This special blog will make a

positive impression on your life!

I know it did mine!

P.S.

Important!!

May I ask respectively, please,

 do not copy  any of the 

Art Work  by Paula Laurens.

There's A Gyspy In Every Woman's Soul!

Vintage Gyspy Images

Here are some vintage ladies

for you to use in

your art work that have a

certain flair for dancing!

I love their pretty birght costumes !

They would add that something extra

if you're working on a collage

that has bright colors in the background

I have a background you can use that

would be perfect for these images. 

 A few weeks ago,

 I was dying some silk yarn

and my dye leaked out of the bowl

and onto the counter ! 

When I found the mess,

 I quickly grabbed my camara

and took some pictures! 

As you can see,

the bright colors pooled together in swirls,

 which made me wonder...

woulsn't these colors

make a great backgound  

for a mixed-media collage!?! 

 Here is what I came up with

after I edited the pictures!

Pictured here:

the "Famous"  Mata Hari!

Another picture of Mata Hari!!

Please have fun with this

and send me a copy of your art work 

 if you use any of these images. 

I would be pleased to show off anything

 you do with your creative "spark"!!

P.S.     If you are curious...

 this is what the yarn looked like

 when it was finished!!
