Did I think I would cut it up?
I did not.
I really couldn't quite imagine where I'd go with it.
Until … well, until, evidently, I could imagine.
Or, to put it another way, the blind contour drawing held out a hand to the blind part of me that cannot envision what will happen if I do this or that but just goes ahead anyway.
I cut my contour drawing into a few pieces.
Took one piece and added color with India ink brush pens.
Drew some ink doodles with a different kind of pen.
Tore bits of colored tissue and glued them on.
Did some additional ink doodling with a gold pen.
Experiment entirely to my liking.

There is a doodle in there that looks like a thumbs up. And I am laughing, because I give this a thumbs up too :) Such an inspiration how you feed your imagination :)
Thanks for the thumbs up, Sheila : )
I'm thinking you're a whiz at HIGHLIGHTS magazine hidden picture puzzles!
So cool! Ain't life grand?! Your drawing told YOU what to do next!
Love where you went with this. Isn't it fun to see the transformation? Choppers are the best!
Thanks, Laurie. Having my drawing tell ME what to do next is right where I like to be—indeed, grand!
Corinna, thanks. Choppers have become my new best friends, I tell ya! Transformation. That is why I say yes to my creative energy.
Loved Sheila's comment, loved your response to her! Oh, and I loved this colorful Paper Prayer!
Joje, your comment above brings to mind these lyrics from 1967:
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
All you need is love,
and those lyrics, in turn, take me back to sailing to London on the SSRotterdam in August 1967!
It's so nice to be able to cut things up, and there appears something completely new and unexpected!
Yes!!!
I'm getting scissors-happy these days—folks better stay out of my way!
