Abandon Technology! What?

~ INSPIRE SOMEONE ~
with your Creative Imagination
But, before one can be creative one must, as difficult as it is to write, One must abandon 'technology'. 
And even as I write about abandoning technology here, I type for without, I would not be able to communicate with you, all of you out there in the Universal mind hive.

Don't let anyting interrupt your stream of consciousness............ relax your thoughts and your mind; allow your insights to flow freely, unencumbered........ 
Music?
Well, O.K. those of us that are inspired and fed by music will find that some sort of technology is required.

Now,
my personal best stimulation......, creatively speaking of course, is allowing my mind to wander into another level. A kind of non-thinking, a day dreaming place...........we could call it 'the mind's eye'.
Even doing menial chores that take no brain power, only shear will, can stimulate my "Right" brain activity.
You probably already have the awareness of what stimulates your creative juices and what it takes to produce a master piece out of thought.

I am never sure if inspiration will follow from a 'trance' of the mind. I always find that I face the fear of never being able to create 'that' something new ever again............

Then, here comes the Wind..............with the spirit of a child contemplating its moves..............how it smells; reacting to the crisp bite upon the face...........

'Father Wind'
by deborah jordan sackett

Oh, I am not lost forever, for It is the wind; that invisable moving matter............objects reacting to that invisible stimulation…….
Or perhaps the stimulation is visible.....
 like Clouds in the sky.......

Even the dance of a butterfly is poetry in motion and can conjure up an image of art on glass architecturally designed that serves a special functiona.........a piece that embraces a moment or moments to revisit over and over again........Celebrating Let's Toast!
Italian glassware by Bormioli Rocco
The weather has a direct effect on our mental productivity as do sounds.
So, here we are again, music………a memory of a lullabye.......the embrace of your first born........
painting a pastel portrait inspired by another from a time long past such as the influence of Klimt. Making prints that can be shared in greeting card format.
I enjoy using water color paper with lots of texture adding to the element of the print from an original work of art........ making it feel and look as though it were an original painting I use heavy bi-fold strathmore papers. These were printed at home on my Epson Ink Jet Printer, a Mother's Day gift......perfect!

Oh, and if you need a handsome pen may I suggest you check out ADK Pen Studio. Adolph's style and craft are unmatched. I love his Handcrafted Ballpoint Pen of wood Inlay. Great gift item for the Fan of old Gangster Movies
'the Speakeasy Collection'

There can also be moments of total frustration that can fuel one's spirit to creativity.

~
Like this large pastel piece below.
It was painted in one days time.
I  was totally lost in emotion and immersed my self into myself.
I was feed from  the emotions whirling in my soul creating one of my personal favorites.

'Adversities Sister'




A 'someone' had said to me that I would need to consider changing my style if I wanted to be apart of  'their' gallery.  meh~

I do enjoy brainstorming with others, but to really create genuine thoughts that are your own; avoiding group shares is suggested as they very well may interject another’s will of thought and just might tend to censor your souls imaginative creativity.
Or in my case..... ‘sackettdoodles.’
Spending time alone, being reclusive, is how I find my best personal way to develop creative performance. Wrecks havoc on ones social life.....oh well.
But, the point is be inspired. But more so be an inspiration also. Make a dent in the Universe. As Hugh McLeod would agree!
While in the creative process there should be a sign hanging out stating;
No criticism allowed




I put my mind on a kind of recess......
I play with thoughts unhindered with guidelines

~ 
My wish for you is to have a Creative Life. Whatever that might mean to you!
I'm going to my studio now; I have a custom order for 'Memory Ornaments'.
I am inspired.......
Blessings+++
MWAH!

2012 August Full Moon


8 ~ 02 ~ 2012

August gives us two full moons and the Perseid meteor shower, plus a tight grouping of two planets and a star in the evening sky. What more could we ask?


earthsky.org
Today, August 2, 2012 hosts a full moon, the first of two to take place this month. The next full moon takes place on August 31, 2012, which is called a blue moon. About every 2-3 years two full moons will land in a single Gregorian calendar month. If you do research on lunar moon cycles you will observe that this month the Blue Moon falls on August 31. The two previous times that the Blue Moon has taken place on the 31st in the month of an August came in 1947 and in 1966. Those years were filled with events leading to major changes in Israel....... are you gazing upward .…………I am..........
“During the silent hour, a man receives new inspiration which may change his life"

google Moon 8-1-2012
I could always be found out under the night SKY of my adopted and beloved state Alaska lying flat on my back at the edge of Jewel Lake Star Gazing and dreaming dreams of the heavens. For there was no place on earth that I have ever felt closer to the Universe than under the skies of Alaska. You felt as though the stars could actually be plucked from the darkness which brought cause to embrace imaginations just as high.
In the 1960's our Newly constructed High School was home of the States Observatory that birthed my fascination in star gazing and introduced me to the technology.  There was nothing digital about our experience back then; it was Up Close and Personal sitting in THE Seat beneath a huge lense that magnified an unending Universe of possibilities. Only a few students my age in the whole of the United States had access to such 'a machine'!
Later after my families departure to our southern roots on the Gulf Coast, I learned that the Observatory was moved to the UAA, the State's University.


I still star gaze; I still dream dreams...........
August 31 is a blue moon......
See you then.......
Uniquely Yours & Like no other

GALLE' GLASS ART NOUVEAU


Art Nouveau Decorative Glass
A small project bringing attention to
A Man of His Time

Galle’ was an Art Nouveau designer of glass and furniture and is considered to be one of the major forces in the industrializing  French Art Nouveau movement with the Nancy School of Design.




A Galle' Portrait of Decorative Glass
For Galle' there was always Hope through Nature; She repeatedly replenished herself through all seasons of space and time.

"Like nature which forever comes back to life, GallĂ© thought that man could re-find his mind and unite to improve life. The peacefulness of nature seemed to be a refuge, constantly renewed, never deceiving and always the source of amazement in the eyes of the passionate nature-lover…In each of his references to creation, flora or fauna, GallĂ© thought of man, of his strengths and of his weaknesses, such as for the case Seulette suis, seulette veux etre (Lonesome I am, Lonesome I want to be)."


Galle'
was preoccupied with
design as well as for the material to produce the effects required dipicted on his
decorative pieces.



He 
revitalized the glass industry
by establishing a workshop
to mass produce his, and
other artist's designs.

'Paving new paths of exploration of the art glass and seeing to imitate nature with streaks, knots, splinters, reflections, shadows, mottled. Beautifully superimposed layers of material adding interposed sheets of gold and silver to produce raises bubbling and scratches adding interest, deminsion, and life to his glass creations.'
