Stones have been a canvas on which
artists of the past carved images...
Were they sacred?
Did the images give men
power over the being portrayed?
The beginnings of my medicine bag...
I will keep my eyes open
and search for other
objects which will speak to me.
great aborigin feel in all the pieces - earth connected art!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!
Happy PPF!

ReplyDeleteThese pages all work so well together. It's going to be such a wonderful piece of art when you get through with it. I love the variety you've captured. I think a journal like this can be a medicine bag -- a medicine book --filled with powerful images and imagininging.

These are wonderful pages Dianne! I did IFJM a few years ago and really enjoyed it - but the last few Aprils have been too busy for me to join in again.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Did you know you still have word verification/captcha on? It makes it very challenging for people to comment.
Wonderful illustrations of field, excellent work!
