Spider (Ralph Fiennes), about a mentally ill man.  He keeps a
journal of "secrets."

Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'll add them to my list.  Last
night I just watched "Frida".  I was knee deep in my Master's degree
studies when it first came out and I never saw it. Also I saw "The
Virgin Suicides"- very haunting. One of the Lisbon sisters keep a
journal.  I read the book, but I saw the movie again.  There is
something very visceral about Sofia Coppola's films.

I've added some more pages to my blog this last week.  I'm on a roll
... not every day but much more than I was doing before I got out of
that rut LOL!

Dear All

There are some new journal scans at my website: www.tatt22dgoddess.com

Please click on the 'Cambodia 2' file to view trvael journal scans
from Angkor Wat and surrounding temple complexes.

Please click on the MUSÉE CURIOSITÉS file to view a new collage piece
in my little Japanese fold out book. The piece featured in the centre
is the new part and its called (very cheekily): "You want me?"

If you are at all interested in tattoo's and the purpose behind them
(mine are buddhist,peace and sea themed), please take a look at my
recent Blog update at my site.My own ink has featured in many ink
zines both in Australia and international and have won peoples chocie
awards. My tattoo artist is Sash via Wicked Ink, Penrith NSW. He is
wonderful!

I'm not sure about a 'muse' inside of me (help!:0) but I do enjoy
what I do :0)

Hi Everyone,

We have a long weekend here in Oz, & my DH is away with his mates playing cars, so I have been arting in my studio.  I created my second last spread in my colour journal.  I have posted it on my blog, sadly,  the scan is terrible – it almost looks luminous………..it is sooooooo soft & lovely in the flesh……It is soft, soft moss green & duck egg blue & white which are the colours of our new rooms in our house.

Warm Regards

Hi, Becky...

I'm in NE Alabama, about 60 miles northeast of B'ham.  I joined the
group a few weeks ago, but have not yet had nerve enough to post
anything!  I just finished a set of alphabet cards (ATC size) for my
niece to use in my great-niece's room, and I have three or four other
projects going on.  I joined the group for my mental and emotional
health, too...my husband passed away in March, and I'm trying to get
myself back on track.

Hope to see some of your work.

Hi,
I've just created an album and posted fifteen drawings that I completed
during the time my husband was in the hospital and in the weeks after
his death.  A few of the pictures are a little blurred; I don't have a
scanner and I didn't want to use the flash on my camera and take a
chance on washing out the colors.

I am a math teacher by profession, and that geometric trait shows
itself in my work, I think!  The book is a small spiral scrapbook
purchased at Wal-Mart, and most of the pens are Faber-Castell Pitt pens.

Thank you for your patience with a newbie...

I've just completed the opening spread in my Vintage Travel Journal.
This Journal is being done by me to part way to use up some of my
ephemera and part way to promote the use of Moleskine Journals (for
uses other than just ordinary journals) via a consortium of US Ebay
sellers.

Mostly it will be flat collage work.

Scan can be found here: http://www.tatt22dgoddess.com/catalog9.html

Susan, I am sorry about your husband. Your artwork is unique! I Love the
colors and shapes.

Hi Susan,

I'm quite taken with your drawings. You and I had emailed privately
earlier sharing our feelings about our losses. Unlike you, I have had
a real hard time getting back into my art. It's coming back slowly,
but at least it's coming back. I'm curious -- is this your usual
style, the geometric patterns. It seems to make so much sense to me
that you would make this neat and structured and controlled kind of
art when I know everything in your life must have felt chaotic and
scary and out of control.

Despite the pain you must have felt making your drawings, I very much
enjoyed looking at each one.

Take care and hope you're feeling a little better these days.

Hi Keron...I just have to tell you how much I like your Woman in Red.
  The dramatic black background with interesting texture sets the
perfect tone for the mysterious woman in a veil, softened somewhat by
the female forms to her left.  My eyes flowed easily over this lovely
piece ...thanks for sharing.   Jackie W
