So if you have been reading this a while, you will know my mantra is to:
Collage What you Feel!
This page reflects a mystery in my life I just haven't solved yet. I keep longing for Paris.
Even when I am in Paris, I long for Paris.
Is as if I have some unfinished business from a past life there and I just can't crack the nut.
I love reading books about Bohemian Life in Paris. There, the arts and the artists are revered, honored, extolled.
Their life seems so full of love for beauty - good food, good art, good films, beautiful shops.
I have spent about 8 weeks there over the last 5 years in four different trips, but I just don't seem to get this out of my system.
So I journal about it to figure it out. I journal about it to enjoy what Paris can give me. I journal about it and make collages about Paris to figure it all out, and I enjoy the process.
SO, if you really want to do this right, pour a glass of red, get some good cheese (and bread if you can eat it), put on some Edith Piaf, and maybe wear a beret.
Explore your love.
Don't ask WHY - just do it.
I knew Paris was in your soul just because snippets of it have appeared in many of your collages over the years. I love you true you are in your thoughts and your work! I take care of a 20 year old kitty who came from Paris. When she passes away the owner is having her cremated and bringing her cremains back to Paris. How wonderful is that!
ReplyDeleteI love popping in to see what you're up to. I'm trying to find some free time to do my entries and send our journals back. I love the 'no pressure' thing!
