We recently watched the documentary Rivers & Tides by Andy Goldsworthy and were so inspired. He creates art from nature and it is BA-NA-NAS. Below are a few of his pictures from Flickr, but watching his process is a lesson in patience that I've never known.
We ended our Thanksgiving weekend on Sunday at Secret Beach and tried our hands and creating something with sticks and smooth river rocks. Not as easy as you might think, as there are so many factors to consider (i.e., wind, the right size materials, sunlight and trying to keep up with the family as they traipsed down the beach).
Christmas cards have never been my strong suit, but a New Year's card seems so hopeful. This might become a postcard.
The light was behind the rocks and really needed to be on the other side. Trial and error is the key, but time is of the essence too and it was a big lesson in patience, solitude and keeping your focus. All things that are not my strongest qualities.
I have many other ideas floating in my head for this postcard project and you will be seeing them in the very near future.
Peace out.
