a struggle to find the words to write ... so paper birds are created ... simple pieces of cast aside paper ... sometimes a bit of paint or music ... always soft curves with a stitch to hold a wing cut from scraps of cloth .... often little wrens hanging from a painted twig to fly in the daily breeze and dance beneath the stars
it is in the moments of scissor and paper
I feel happy . light . hopeful yet quiet . weary . wistful
knowing that you may feel that way as well
that is our common thread

This is beautiful Elk, how do you make two spools of thread look so beautiful. take care, I hope you are having a wonderful summer.
There is nothing like familiar spaces to quieten and calm. Your birds are a familiar space.
What a wonderful post...so full of truth, honesty and beauty. I also LOVE to use cast-offs (and birds too) in my creations - I'm very happy to know that we share this passion.
weary , wistful.
hopeful, light.
that's a strong common thread I think. I spend so much time watching birds, not studying for information, just enjoying. they are make me know myself in ways I can't explain. perhaps that is what you are trying to capture with your art. offering.
beautiful
I love the picture of the spools! Wish I had a picture of my grandmother's old sewing machine spool drawer. This makes me long to see her at her sewing machine again!
Oh, I can very much related to those feeling too, Elk. When I'm creating light, bright, happiness, peace and joy course through me--hands, mind & heart to work. These photos today are enchanting. I feels such love when I see your birds. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))

Sounds like the emotions of a mother. Life is fleeting.

friend, we write so similarly today. my heart soars with your beautiful bird....
The vibes of this post are so peaceful...as if needle and thread can lead you to the center of the earth.
I do feel the way you do; My voice is lost these days. I'm using my mind's eye; my camera to speak. I'm allowing my pics to say, what I can't. The words will come back, just we need to find a different release.
xXx
