It is in the silence of the night
and early hours of morning that my
brain goes tik tok – so loud I can hear it above my thoughts. The sound goes on
and on and round and round and create pictures and images to be stored for
later usage.
The colours are so real and the
images almost there to touch – Am I crazy woman? I reach for my little book and
jot these pictures /ideas down for
later usage when my body and soul and
mind is drained from everyday toil and those thoughts will be no more.
Written down, they give me
something to work with when natural inspiration wails or fails or I feel like
the poet when he wrote:- ‘how my heart aches a drowsy numbness pain, my senses
though of hemlock I had drunk or emptied some opiate in the veins’’ something like this.... that I can remember from long ago.

This is one of the ideas that was born one early morning
when the moon was sinking and the sun was rising. All the little pieces of
African Fabric brought together. Side by side like little brothers and sisters
cuddling on a cold night when there is no heat around. This will be used on the
side of a bag I am now busy sewing. Hopefully the person whoever gets it one
day will look close and see what I saw when I made it.
When a person’s thoughts are not
interrupted by everyday noise or the sounds of a background radio or television
one’s senses come alive and creative.
I love photography and
have taken photos dating back to
1968 when I received my first little Kodak camera one Christmas. Everyone had to
pose (correctly) as there was only one chance for one shot a time and then the
anticipation to hand the film in at the chemist and wait a whole week to see
what came out and what did not.
Somehow art is like that – you
make – you wait – result. I just love
to share images and ideas of lovely things.

Let me retreat into my world of
silence and start getting creative for the week-end ahead. Happy creative
thoughts to all in their daily life.
luvvies
