Artful Amblings Sept. 30th
THE PROMPT: Eye opener
THE SONG: Why are we sleeping - Soft Machine/Kevin Ayers
Written Lyrics HERE
PRODUCT/TECHNIQUE: Eyes (photo's, stamps, drawing... whatever)
*******
I made this page in my 8 1/2" X 11" hardbound book.
It's a high pain day here so not a lot of fidgety art going on, decided to play with my camera instead. Took a picture of me, then a picture of that picture on the laptop screen, messed with it a bit and voila: starting point.
Markers are Sharpies.
Ink is from Stampin' Up!
Journaling:
It begins with a blessing And it ends with a curse; Making life easy, By making it worse... *Social Media* Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Live Journal, Chats... Is it making it easier to stay connected? or getting so complicated we can't connect at all? All those EYES watching, reading... Do we really KNOW people anymore?
*tap* *tap* *tap*
*click* *click* *click*
Are You the person in Your computer? Am I?
The entire WORLD >>in here<< only a tap or a click away.

<3 love.
Wow Sarah, I love where you took this prompt! Although it's an old song & lyrics, you transported it right to the present and gave it another twist. AWESOME!!!
This is so cool, love where you took this and it really has me thinking!!!
So sorry to hear pain got the better of you to a certain extent. I myself have to guard against it every day, with my knuckles, especially, along with other body aches and pains.
It's good to see you making art in the face of it! I try to always get in a little creative time each day.
Have you ever heard of MSM?
It might be a blessing for you. I know to take it makes a world of difference in my everyday existence.
Lovely thoughts surrounding being connected online. It's a deep thought, and you take it even further. A very sensitive rendering.
