stacks

Seth, from The Altered Page, had a wonderful idea to host an on line challenge to share photo's of our "stacks."

Immediately I thought this was a fantastic idea, for I love stacks!

And I am certain that I am not the only one.  Check out his this post for links to other artists involved in this project!

Here are my stacks...

was purchased at this etsy store.  

 

window light

I've been staring out the windows lately, the way the world looks through a distant mirror, and the way things look behind, or in front of glass.

I've been back at work for two weeks now, and i guess I miss being home.

And the shines and reflections of other worlds entices me.  

This is my daughter inside a shop window...

 

And inside the shop looking out.

 

Out from our living room.  The little table is where I keep some of my indoor plants.

 

 

 

 

An oval mirror reflects an earlier summer celebration.

 

And the glass doors of a cabinet house some of my books and draping scarfs.

 

And a new collage is finished for my Etsy shop.

The shell lifts up to the words:

When you long for the ocean, here is a shell.

 

Kitchen window light plays with stone and iron birds.

And another new encaustic painting sits on my desk.  

 

 

Here it is again, I don't think I am finished yet,  I want to add some metal accents.

 

And so my fall has begun, with schedules and time frames, rules and plans, and little smiling faces of my new second graders.  

And I will make the most of my moments of window gazing and the windows in my mind of another summer gone by.

I leave you with this quote on my tumblr blog.
