Debra Kay's Art Scrap Project: 'Follow the Path'

Maybe it you click on this and blow it up, ) more detail will emerge...

then again, maybe not. :)

I started with a large sheet of green floral paper, a half dozen square paper and foil patterns, an over-sized pink flower, several glimmering rock formations from Arizona, a piece of green packaging string, a rubber leaf stamp and a gold stamp pad. I wrote "follow" and "follow the path' in a few places with a gold glitter pen. All of these materials came to me from Linda, who at the time I did not know. I added an ATC of Mim's Ms. Em, a Mandala from Marianne, a clay rabbit that may or may not be Emily, a safe clay fortress built by 6 year old hopeful hands.

I am not a visual artist. I paint watercolors perhaps once a year, I am only now learning to draw and sketch. I don't know what made me volunteer for Debra Kay's and Blogland Lane's first Art Scrap Project. Thank God I have a good sense of humor and most days an ego that doesn't mind sticking its neck out for a fun time or good cause!

So.......here on my dining room table is a finished piece (heehee) entitled 'Follow the Path.' In truth it's a lot like the way I want and tend to live: I twist and turn, prefer circles to sharp edges every time, I like the occasions when there are steps I can follow, and don't mind meandering on winding unknown roads. I like shiny things, I like shrines, and I appreciate my friends.

.

One last point: about this woman 'Linda', who it turns out is a dear neighbor here on Blogland Lane and a wonderful visitor to many of our blogs. In short order she has found her way into my blog and affection. She is kind & thoughtful, and wise. It seems she is reading my posts from start to finish and THAT is going to an eye-opener for her, I'm sure. She'll probably end up knowing more than a therapist about me!

Thank you, Linda. Thank you, Debra Kay. Okay, I'd do it again. It was fun.
