A Love Story for Heads or Tails

Skittles at Heads or Tails offers a near Valentine's Day prompt of 'A Love Story'.

This is way beyond something I can write, so I offer a quilted card which was a fun project made by slicing patterned paper into strips to build a heart. I don't quilt, either, simply because there's no delete key.

I wish you all a very happy Valentine's weekend - and I wish you all another happy and lovely year of bloggery.

Bre - wishing you a super celebration in Las Vegas! Love you, Kiddo!

Thanks, Skittles, for teaching me how to make hearts!

Movement is the Monday prompt offered by One Single Impression.

Art for Sunday Scribblings

Paintings by famous artists often fail to generate my enthusiasm but a loose watercolor or a layered photograph catches me right by the heart. Eclectic comes to mind.

Fractals caught my attention after I saw Benoit Mandlebrot speak and the PBS presentation 'Hunting the Hidden Dimension'.

More recently I've become attached to the Wacom Bamboo Fun Tablet with Adobe Photoshop Elements which takes me to surreal mind drifts.

Never sure what happens next, I follow color and whimsy in my search for personal ART.

The top image began as a digital photo of a troll doll pen placed on the shiny side of CD near a window for reflection. In Photoshop, it was cut in half and one half was flipped. On the Tablet I drew a couple of birch trunks, added a few leaves and erased some of the foreground to produce the shadows. It took quite a while and I had no idea what was going to happen but I'm enamored by synchronicity and surprise.

I might try this one in black and white, just to see...

Chaos

where chaos meets the string of hope

and quantum dreams
choked by the hands of ticktock
bounce against the rock
unseen by searching light beams

when chaos meets the string of hope

upstream gives way to downstream
ripples out another theme
to wage against the racing clock

when chaos meets the string of hope

tangled knots of the oily scheme
lack compassion to redeem
and full blown devils mock
the better angels' knock
to tread the path of a losing team

where chaos meets the string of hope

Totally Optional Prompt this week: Repetition in Forms.
