From start to finish… a process to a vision!
I had started my mood-board project for the BYW Bootcamp
by placing bits and pieces of my studio on the board.
Once it was done I looked at it, and it felt more like a cutting board to me! And it actually was!
I found that the kitchen sink was there too, and the cupboards were sitting right above.
…this board was in the “Kitchen Sink” stage…

So then my mother came into the picture, for she had been there in spirit the whole time.
She was peeking from the tiny silver picture frame; and with her, order came and took a seat.
Red areas began to take over and this hue was attached to some gripping blood-ties and …
… maybe a petal or two, with some seeds;
And then a tiny red button rolled in!
The mood-board had switched towards remembering my mother. Now it was… “About Mom”
•••••••••••••••
Maybe a break was in order, for I had aimed to be myself!
The whole purpose of this particular Mood-Board was to illustrate visually the style of my blog!
I then sat down with the silences of my blank canvases listening to the whispers and the depths;
…and finally I saw the sweet tweets of colors, blending within the songs of so many hues.
I realized my life has been a wondrous secret voyage, one of the imagination,
of worlds within worlds within worlds…
I had been able to observe the hidden magic within the stillness of a room,
and thus discover life’s fleeting dance among the folds.
That was what I had always done among my many ways.

The board that ended up being about your Mother was quite beautiful. Then I saw the second board. No, I should say I saw the wonder of the world as seen through your artist’s eyes. Glorious!
Your words are like poetry! And I love the mood board idea.
This is so beautiful, but then all your creations are! :yinyang:

You are one talented lady!! <3
Lisa, I love the way your different mood boards reflect different facets of your personality and yet, rolled into one, are a measure of the look and feel of your blog. Wonderful and inspiring.
i love seeing the process of how your mood board evolved … beautiful!
Wow, I love what you’ve written, Lisa. So beautiful. Goes to show that words don’t have to rhyme to be poetry. Also love how your mother appeared in this. You look like her!
