Well, this morning has me entering an art contest for the Maine Writers & Publishers Chap Book Cover Contest. I entered 5 Shibui Found Image Art as invited to do.
More books came in, mine are about Victorian ornamental design. Ink Death came in for Emma’s Valentine’s Day surprise. One more of these books to go! “Ink Spell.” Oliver has two small cuddle blankets, one has trucks and the other Dinosaurs. Now for little MIss Harper! Alex? A wall hanging.
I have rosemary tea today over coffee. IBS is not a friendly affair. Seems I ate something it did not like! Rosemary tea will help it heal, some toast___ Not sure what I will do today for interesting foods, something simple.
Take a day off and read for fun? I did manage 4 blogs on the mind, etc lately. I could read research material and that’s work, right? I began reading Ink Heart____there is something special about a well-written book! You can learn a great deal about writing by reading!
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
