drawing challenge 189: C O C O O N









It's time for more silence.


COCOON
drawing challenge 189

annually
at the end of the winter
i long for a soft white place
to hibernate
a cocoon
in which i can curl
a safe embrace
waiting for spring
before i get out
converted and 
with wings
in the color of the sky


i used a form that i crocheted years ago
and turned it into a cocoon on a branch
the bookprinting/quote and linocut 
are works that i made earlier


please visit the blogs to the other participants:
Nadine, Barbara, Ariane, Lucia, Norma,
Leena, Sharmon, Roberto, Veronica, Tammie,
Stefanie, ManoEric and Tania

and THANK YOU all for joining!! xxx

drawing challenge: NEW THEME!



ok, i do not want to keep whining about how busy i am
about the 3 days teaching and read-in, prepare and more
(and don't get me wrong, my job is FUN!!)
i do not want to complain about the household
and the feeling of having no time
no time to make something, to create

how do other people do that? i regularly ask myself

i would like to hibernate
and wake up when spring has arrived
....

involucre
casing
for protection
before i will pupate

hence the theme for dc 189 of Februari 20 - 21: COCOON

how it works:
if you want to join, leave a comment saying you are in
the following weekend the 'drawings' are shown on the blogs of the participants
and the host links to them all

the theme this week is chosen by NADINE-tinyWOOLF

sixes and sevens
in the meaning 'state of confusion or disarray'
is written all over me lately
i looked up some old work
a self-portrait made of several polaroid pictures

sorry
for my absence
and the fact that i hardly drop by
....

AND: 
next weekend i will be the host of the 188th drawing challenge
i will post the theme on wednesday the 10th
well... i hope to do that  ;^))
SORRY!
I WILL HOST the 189th drawing challenge
more on that next tuesday



sixes and sevens
in de betekenis van 'staat van verwarring of wanorde'
staat op mijn lijf geschreven, de laatste tijd
ik heb wat oud werk opgezocht
een zelfportret gemaakt van verschillende polaroidbeelden

sorry 
voor mijn afwezigheid
en het feit dat ik vrijwel niet langskom
....

monthly quote: F E B R U A R Y



'There's a crack in everything,
that's how the light gets in.'

                                           Leonard Cohen


this sentence is spinning in my mind
it's what i try to do
it's how i want to be
to see the crack
feel the light


deze zin is spint in mijn hoofd
het is wat ik probeer te doen
het is hoe ik wil zijn
de scheur zien
het licht voelen
