In case of darkness or chaos, feelings ran high
{doesn't matter if inside or outside}
brace yourself, turn you heart in direction of light and be:
The theme of this week's drawing challenge is 'calm'.
I've used here a first aid blanket for this theme:
I've used here a first aid blanket for this theme:
it remind me on people that were wrapped in it last week
in Paris after the attack, survived, under shock, golden.
Here, I've taken the foil as background
for my appeal 'be calm', that I've built with soft pink ribbon.
Nothing is forever, but these one was too volatile
(and the kink fold too dominant).

So I simply have written 'calm' with a permanent pencil
on a small piece of the first aid blanket and have framed it with
a rusted picture frame (as a reminder, saved from the Castle).
For this I'd to be very calm, because the foil is slippy and
tears asunder at the edges fairly quickly.

{look, it works even as a reflector for photographing}
Later, I've wrapped myself in that first aid blanket:
it reflects the body warmth (self-reflection) and I have felt safety
and – like a big reflector of light by myself!
I am sure, we all have to calm down, now, it reflects the body warmth (self-reflection) and I have felt safety
and – like a big reflector of light by myself!
calm down and shine for love and peace.
For this weeks drawing challenge No 181
Please visit her wonderful place for more calming.
Thank you for your visit here.
I will come to your places this weekend.
Oh my gosh, I feel positively teary at the memory of your ordeal at the old castle and all that emergency blanket represents to so many. We all need to be wrapped in an emergency blanket every now and then. So beautifully done and so very emotive with the calming pink reflections. Thank you so much dear Ariane. Biggest hugs. X

Wunderschön!! Your post is a meaningful and calming meditation after tragedy! Simply beautiful! xoxo
AntwortenLöschenWow, full of symbolism! Amazing concept!
AntwortenLöschenThis is pure magic. Sad but comforting.
AntwortenLöschenWas für eine ungewöhnliche Idee, nicht nur Gold als beruhigende Entsprechung anzusehen, sondern auch noch eine Rettungsdecke zu verwenden. Deine Worte und ie wundervollen Fotos strahlen einfach diese Ruhe aus, mit oder ohne Gold, immer.
