Fallow or Fertile?

The Unknown World

I've been floundering about in fallow seas lately. I've felt a bit distracted and un-focused. Of course I'm dabbling and playing; knitting and image making but nothing feels quite 'good' or 'great' enough. We all have these periods I know and I also know that they pass like a morning fog but the waiting can be a tad tedious!

My fascination with transparency continues and I have, at least, been having some fun trying different manners of blending images and color. These are a couple of examples of my current simple minded journaling play times....

I think that there are two ways to look at these 'down' times - one as a frustrating waste of valuable time and the other as a time of tending one's mental garden; 

a time to gather imagery and day dream. That's what I'm doing  and I'm looking forward 

to a mental Spring in the offing - soon!
