Collage

My Monday afternoon poetry group is on hold for the coming months due to health issues for our "leader," the one who does the technical things that allow us to use Meet. Some conditions, unfortunately, make treatment a full-time job.

 Abhorring a vacuum, I joined a drop-in craft group that a woman from church started up. You can bring your own project to work on while enjoying some company on the lanai or you can participate in a group project. This coming Monday the group craft is collage.

I have enjoyed collage. I have a lot of crap watercolors that I tear up and use to make collaged scenes. These are a few that I did some time ago.






 

I have also done SoulCollage (Registered Trademark -- alt code not working). That's a process best done in a group, but in silence. I don't see the silence part happening in a group of UUs so I won't suggest it.

    I wish I had the creativity to take bits of pieces of things and make something lovely out of it. I very much like the third collage with the bowl of fruit. Very pretty!
    Enjoy your meet up!

    What a great use for paintings that didn't meet your standards. Wonderful recycle.

    These are wonderful. I especially like the first one. I did a fabric piece that looks something like that one.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
