In the belly of the earth

June 10, 2009 – 11:30 am

Rocks like fangs, secret lakes, hidden ponds. We explored a long, deep cave in the woods a few miles from where my parents live. In pre-Roman times, the cave’s main room, at the foot of the mother rock, was a temple to pagan gods—the local people left offerings shaped like tiny boats just above one [...]

To background or not to background?

May 28, 2009 – 12:30 pm

I finally, finally managed to get a good picture of Caterina and Nicco together. I had to retouch it somewhat, but here it is. I have been wanting to take and collage one for an absolute forever, but the two critters never co-operated. Anyway, I have it now and am about to work on it…but [...]

Getting ready to go

May 21, 2009 – 12:36 pm

I am off for a long weekend to celebrate my husband’s birthday—lots of walks planned (weather permitting) and a lovely Thai supper at Blue Elephant. Before I go though, I wanted to share one last taste of Spring in bloom. See you on Monday! Bookmark and share: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where [...]

Doors and windows

May 11, 2009 – 1:46 pm

I find doors and windows incredibly inspirational. They are great collage elements suggestive of peeking into someone’s life, into their world. Until now, however, my image stash has been pretty limited. I have a couple of images from vintage postcards, but that’s it. Which is why I decided to set out on a door and [...]

Scenes from Liguria

May 5, 2009 – 11:51 am

We spent the Bank Holiday weekend on the Ligurian Riviera, and what a visual treat it was. Spring is in full bloom, carpeting the hills in white and blue, and giving the air a vague hint of garlic (the white flowers being the blossoms of Allium triquetrum, or three-cornered garlic). The sea is a thousand [...]
