inspire me thursday...the senses



"meadow beauty"approx.5x5 shadowbox with highly altered & embellished cabinet card

"This week's challenge involves some sensory exploration:
Can you use all five of your senses in your creative process?"

See.i see a different angle at which to prop the cabinet card
in the too small shadowbox...instead of cutting it down and loosing any part
of the card i leaned it against the back of the box and i am pleased
with the juxtaposition!
Touch. i covered the box with sticky,silky smooth molding paste,sanded,
then used generous amounts of glitter and mirrored glass shards...with a
minimum of punctures!
Smell. molding paste,coffee and a botanicus candle in "sugar pear".
Hear. music of astrud gilberto's finest hour and sand paper in motion
Taste. a heady flavor of accomplishment!

this little box is a thank-you gift for linda,for putting a big smile on my face
and joy in my heart! priceless feelings!

I just went to Amazon to listen to Astrud Gilberto. Wow! Good Stuff! I addd it to my wish list. Thanks for the tip! I had never heard of her by name. I heard her sing The girl from Impenema (sp), but did not know anything else.
