Collaboration

Elizabeth Gilbert has this to say:

The only way an idea can be made manifest in our world is through collaboration with a human partner. It is only through a human's efforts that an idea can be escorted out of the ether and into the realm of the actual. Therefore, ideas spend eternity swirling around us, searching for available and willing human partners.

The teeniest little snippet of a stenciling demo posted by Jacqui Beck on Instagram swirled around me, searching. I was available, willing, off to experiment.

Giddy

I continue flitting and whirling and skittering from one exploration to another. I am besotted with creating bare bones and then poking around to see where I might take the shapes and lines and connections that have emerged in front of me.

Bare bones.

Bare bones plus watercolor paints.
