WINDS OF CHANGE
“Forces that have the power to change things……..used generally to mean change is going to happen.” In these troubling and uncertain times that are facing the world today including poverty, disease , hunger and political turmoil, one hopes that “a change is gonna come”. A simple change of weather could
The Industrial Revolution
When I heard that “Revolution” was to be our next prompt, it filled me with too many options. It seems that there is always a revolution of some kind going on somewhere in the world. Cultural revolution, political revolution, Art revolution etc. I remembered stories that my Grandmother told about
What Are You Saying?
This prompt was exciting ( at first) then it gave me TOO many ideas! I thought about it right till the last day and finally this is what I decided. The title of my piece should clue you in. I know other artists who use Assemic writing constantly and I
Change of Language
The way we express ourselves has drastically changed throughout the years! In the 60’s it was “hep” to be “ cool man”! The seventies we said phrases like….”right on” or “ you got to be kidding”. The 80’s saw ““rock on”! Today if I hear “ absolutely” or “ no
Which Way Should I Go!
I find as I am getting older it is harder for me to make up my mind! When I was young I just decided on things ( mostly impulsively) never thinking about the consequences. Now I seem to weigh all the things that could go wrong with each decision I
Brother Can you Spare a Dime
We live near a very busy highway and there is a light when you come off it, and there is always someone there with a sign asking for change. Sometimes they ask for food or a sign saying they will work for food. Many people give money or even cigarettes

THE FLOW OF WATER
I racked my brain trying to come up with an idea for this prompt! I used my hometown of Niagara Falls, Ontario for my musings and could not get the Falls off my mind. So I started playing with water and fabric and hoped that something would happen. First I
THE FLOW OF WATER
Water is a MUST for survival! For humans and the earth itself! We take water for granted when we live in area that seems to have a never ending flow of water. Living in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada AND spending my childhood just one block away from the Falls, I
Change of Colour
What could be more fun than living in a colourful house! We have all seen the colourful houses on the slanted streets of San Francisco or the brightly painted houses in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Living in the Niagara Area, we too have our “Painted Ladies” . This historic neighborhood
HABIT
We all have habits. Some good and some bad. I cannot begin to tell you the habits I have had throughout my life or how many I have stopped only to replace them with other habits. Smoking….stopped and replaced with candy. Candy….under control…I think? Sewing habits are no different. Where
Snow, Paint and Cloth
I don’t really like snow or should I say winter in general. Growing up in Niagara Falls Canada, we celebrate winter with the Festival of Lights. Queen Victoria Park is decorated with over one million lights. Lights in the trees, on the buildings and even the Falls themselves take on
