Rocking Your World Friday

Whilst looking through people's contributions to Summer of Color I discovered Virginia's blog at Celtic House.

She has a weekly meme on Fridays which rather appealed to me.  This is her description from her blog:
"Rocking Your World Friday is the moment to step back and take stock of your week, to work out the positives, the things that have made life more bearable and to celebrate these facts. Pop a post together, come back and link each Friday and let's share our positives around. It's a great therapy and stops life slipping through our fingers or spending too much time dwelling on the negatives. Not sure if it's for you - give it a go - you'll never know until you try!"

So I thought I would give it a go.

My silver linings this week:
Talking on the telephone to Andy & Naomi

A great evening out with Roger.

Dinner at Strada and having a 30% off voucher for it

Seeing and listening to Hugh Laurie with the Copper Bottom Band at Symphony Hall.

Discovering a new talented musician, Bruno Major, who was the support act for Hugh Laurie.

The supportive people I meet in groups on Facebook.

Thanks for stopping by.

Postcard Theology

The guest today on 12 Months in View is the Rev. Andrew Hall.  He uses the idea of meditation on bible verses, in this instance the Psalms, and combines it with art and creativity as a further form of meditation.  Oc course you can do whole journal pages rather than postcards but I like the idea of reducing the size of the paper you are working on.

I was making gelli plate prints for Summer of Color and was cleaning my brayer by rolling it on a spare piec of paper which ended up like this.  The flowers were from lifting the colour off the gelli plate with a stamp and stamping it on this paper to clean it.

I cut this paper into 2 pieces, 7 inches by 5 inches to be large postcards.

I read through the Psalms of Ascents and chose Psalm 121 first.  I was trying to think how I could portray God being the shade at my right hand and I remembered this palm tree stamp.


Then I chose Psalm 133.  Although the Psalm doesn't mention either the heart or vision this Psalm is often used about unity in the church so I used the Dylusions heart stamps.

I put both of them into my journal.

Thanks for stopping by.

Little Details

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

I like this photo for all sorts of reasons.  I like the monochrome colour.  I like the softness of the feather against the grid of the twigs.  I like the feeling that the feather is waving to me (which it obviously isn't!)

What do you like about it?
