"Through a Butterfly's Eyes"
Ruh-Roh Raggie... Not everything has to be totally abstracted out I've discovered. How about a little realism/abstract combo action. This image was just my first attempt, so it's not a finished product or anything. I thought I'd share the very first one so that months later I can see how far I've progressed..
Man, I tell ya, that gimp is a fascinating tool. As I learn more and more (all completely by accident) about the wonderful things gimp can do, I see endless possibilities. Or maybe it's just the drugs I've been on for the last few days for an incessant migraine, I dunno! Not that I like the drugs, I hate the drugs, they make me tired and I know my aura is filled with black clouds because of them. Nothing can really be done about a brain injury though, so I just need to feel grateful that I don't get seizures which were also a possibility when the brain injury occurred.
I don't know if it's the migraine, the creative burst I'm having out in the studio, all the eclipses and solstice energy or the disturbing discovery that some people lack integrity and will steal my images and words, but I've been strangely mute for the past week or so. I'm still feeling pretty mute, but thought I'd stop in and say hi.
It just occurred to me that I'm also gearing up for some throat chakra work so that could have something to do with it too. Much of the imagery I'm creating right now is in blues with some purples thrown in which is a good indication that I'm moving up into the higher chakras.
I really want to put a chakra guide page at the top of this blog, but being mute doesn't seem to be conducive to writing. I did manage to get a "What is Reiki" page up, so that's something at least. If only I could multi-task like my sister who can do a million things at once and do them well! I'm not like that. Working out in the studio takes away my interest in writing and words (and cleaning and reading and everything for that matter!). . The creative process for me doesn't include words. My brain thinks in terms of imagery, shapes, colors and patterns. I like fantasy land better than literal words so I might be there for awhile.
Well I'm already talked out......
Later!
