Showers & Stars…

December 31, 2008 · 13 Comments

When clouds appear like rocks and towers,
The earth’s refreshed by frequent showers.

Old Rhyme

Shower of Stars by Lisa Rivas

“Shower of Stars”

A leaf of grass is no less than the journey-work of the stars...
Walt Whitman (1819 – 1892)

No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land,
or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.
Helen Keller (1880 – 1968)

    Are these photos of some bead work? I love bead work. I have a whole drawer of beads I have never done anything with. I love to get them out occasionally and look at them. Some day I will know what to do with them.
    Happy New Year to you..

    Showers from heaven wash one’s impurity. Renew and purify are the words. Thanks for this wonderful treat with this incredibly stunning great artwork.
    The details with little sequins and threads are a playful way to show renewal here.
    Happy New Year 2009! Just past 2008 here:)

    Stunning colours and effect, I love the close up – just like a little landscape.

Art Statement

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
