Okay, I’m inspirationed out for today. I can’t leave though without a moving quote and a pretty picture, can I? I didn’t think so. On that note, here you go:
Living is a form of not being sure, not knowing what next or how. The moment you know how, you die a little. The artist never entirely knows. We guess. We may be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark. ~Agnes de Mille, choreographer
Aww, THANK YOU for your sweet mention!
Your blog is lovely!!!
What a terrific idea! Thank you for all the inspiration.
Wow, KB! This is an quite an amazing list of creative projects and inspiration.
I really enjoyed going to look at more pictures of those Russian houses – that one of the staircase is beautifully eerie.
Oh, and I signed up for the card swap and the toadstool swap yesterday. They both look like a lot of fun.
You really do have a knack for finding these sorts of things.
Very cool!
I may weep for joy. Talk about synchronicity. I just saw a commercial on tv for the 3D sidewalk chalk and thought “oh, I want that” and then I said “eh, I’ll get it for my niece and nephew.” Thank you for reminding me that I deserve to play, too. I’m on week 6 of TAW, doing it on my own. I’m so glad I thought to do a little googling and found this blog!
Thank you
wow, absolutely magical — the Russian structures!
