The State Of My Union | Effy Wild

The State Of My Union. Apr 17, 2015. It’s Friday, and in two sleeps, I will get to hang out with Manfingy, who’s been gone since March 25th. I am all kinds of excited and also anxious. There’s a smidgeon of ‘what if the tenderness and affection we expressed over the wires while he was away evaporates when he’s here in the flesh? Absence makes the heart grow fonder and all that jazz. The uncertainty of it all is pretty heavy, and if you read yesterday’s post. What I know for certain is the uncertainty, as...

Art Is A Portal | Effy Wild

https://effywild.com/2015/07/14/art-is-a-portal

Art Is A Portal. Jul 14, 2015. I believe with all my heart that art is a portal in to our most tender places. Soulful work comes from getting the fuck out of your own way. I really believe this. Our rational minds, our verbal selves, are so full of stories that have very little to do with reality. We can’t see what really is with that mind. That mind looks at the sky and immediately labels it BLUE. It sees a tree a immediately labels it TREE and GREEN and LEAF. Trust is essential. It is the foundatio...

a white Poppy cabinet... - De Jimdo-website van pinkepinke!

http://www.pinkepinke.be/2014/08/18/a-white-poppy-cabinet

A white Poppy cabinet. My mom loves Poppies, just like me and for her birthday I made her next to her Poppycard. Also a white Poppycabinet. I started again with the "throw-away" cardboard boxes my husband brought home from technical supplies in the hospital. I made gelliprints about poppies to cover the box. I love to experiment with the gelliplate and add layer on top of other layers. Fun is, that if you don't like the result, you just put another layer over it and sometimes even magic happens :). This ...

journal art by suswan: August 2014

http://journalartbysuswan.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Journal art by suswan. Thursday, August 28, 2014. I am Thinking Mermaids Journal page Inspired by my friend Miranda. I hope you saw the original post on http:/ whispersthroughthewindow.blogspot.com. Journal art to me is using beautiful images or digital images or your own drawning, taking your time and exploring. I used my brayer over the paste and then used my finger and the alphabet stencil again to give it debt. The rose on the top left is from stencil girls stencils from my Frida set which I love thi...

There are no words for this. (I didn’t mean to make you cry). | Effy Wild

https://effywild.com/2015/07/09/there-are-no-words-for-this-i-didnt-mean-to-make-you-cry

There are no words for this. (I didn’t mean to make you cry). Jul 9, 2015. I have been in an intense period of personal growth and the phrase that kept coming up for me as I (for weeks) considered how best to express everything that’s in my heart to express is ‘there are no words for this.’. This painting was the second in as many weeks that I started an finished in a matter of days. When I finished it, I knew it was finished in a very visceral way. It felt ‘finished’ in my bones and ...The only positive...

The Ugly Duckling – A Post Fest Write Up | Effy Wild

https://effywild.com/2015/08/04/the-ugly-duckling-a-post-fest-write-up

The Ugly Duckling – A Post Fest Write Up. Aug 4, 2015. There are footnotes in this post because I am a nerd. If you’ve ever read “Women Who Run With The Wolves” you will remember that the book includes an exploration of The Ugly Duckling, whose story is essentially that she was a swan who was accidentally hatched to a family of ducks, and because she didn’t look like or act like or sound like her family, she was considered ugly. This week was about that. I bartered tarot readings for lovely things. I spe...

The Gift Of Uncertainty & Impulse | Effy Wild

https://effywild.com/2015/04/16/the-gift-of-uncertainty-impulse

The Gift Of Uncertainty & Impulse. Apr 16, 2015. When I first began art journaling, I was very invested in being certain of what it was I was trying to create. Because I didn’t know I was an artist (I really didn’t), I approached art journaling as a craft. I wanted a pattern. A predetermined palette. Composition. The rule of thirds. Without some idea of where I was heading, I felt like I was bound to fail. How does one get there? Enough to let go of the outcome. It’s teaching me that no matter ...It&#821...
