Yup! Sunday! And I am feeling great! I ordered my groceries and picked them up at our local Hannafords. First time! That was easier, and quicker. So now I fed my grandson Alexander and myself. The day begins! I have selected a book on writing poetry to remind myself of some things in there. There are examples of writing styles that will put me to the test too. I will check this out and work on my children’s book project. It’s about Ruby Luna today, and it introduces friends, and their “big problem” which Ruby helps to solve. Ruby is a hippogriff, a rather cute one! She also began as a Shibui Found Image as do some of her friends. They all come to life in my head, I have to put them away so they do not come out to play. It’s the thing I love about writing children’s books, you end up having a lot of fun. I think it is time to let some fun into my life a couple days of week! Weekend are two days long!
I will also be prepared with at least 20 to 30 pages when I begin things at Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance. This is where Stone Coast suggest I go; I had emailed them about my projects. Not that a MFA in Writing is out of the questions. But I will check this out. There is an event on the 23 I signed up for, via Zoom.
I want to learn more about putting blog stories? Out there I have read a couple so far, now I am curious. And have questions so if you know how it works point me towards the info.
I live in Southern Maine. I am the owner of Anisette Studios. My website is https://www.anisettestudios.com/ Here you can view and purchase Shibui, sign up for my newsletters, blog, and read articles about Shibui Found Image Art. Patrons get great deals several times a year and special items at times. My site makes it easy to contact me. My primary art form is Shibui Found Image Art. Shibui begins with action art and stems from the imagination. It is like seeing something in the clouds or solving a puzzle. Its creative process has its own rules and requires what I call reverse engineering due to a lack of an understructure and purely out of the imagination. In addition to those who patron me, my target groups are those who use art therapy. I will soon be teaching live. Contact me if you would like to learn live. I use Zoom. I request that although my art, other images, and what I write is now published by me here on WordPress; I do ask you do not to use my artwork, poetry, or the information about Shibui Found Image Art without my permission. I am quite available to make such requests. I wish to share the following: The existentialist philosopher Simone de Beauvoir wrote a book called The Ethics of Ambiguity. In it, she lays out a guiding ethic in response to the philosophy of existentialism. It might be somewhat familiar to you already. She writes, “To will oneself free is also to will others free. This will is not an abstract formula. It points out to each person concrete action to be achieved.”
Best wishes to all! Have good times and keep safe! Pejj
