Mostly I fly...
but now I set out for earth. I look down. Following force of gravity.
'Earth to earth...' in my mind. End and begin of life.
Rooted.
I find creatures that reminds me on India. Afrika.
Music and pieces of healing jewellery
a fossilised root wood
a garnet crystal.
After dancing pelvis circling and stone meditation I finally settle down.
Form with clay a shape of a four-leaved Lotus.
The first chakra. The base chakra.
Feel the connection to Mother earth (and divine Father)
Bodily. Earth(l)y.
Thank you, dearest Patrice!
Even for beeing our host for the this week's drawing challenge with this 'heavy' theme EARTHLY.
Please come to her beautiful, impressive place to see much

AntwortenLöschenDear Ariane, I love the roots and your beautiful photos and the story they tell x Leena
AntwortenLöschenWunderschöne Fotos, ich mag sehr, wie Du damit eine Geschichte erzählst, wie ich dabei wirklich auf/in/unter die Erde geführt werde.
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Grüße, Stefanie
i find your leafy kite in image 1 super, 'mostly you fly'... ;))); all while thinking of jewelry too; i don't mind landing in your inviting bowl-o'-lotus. in good company too.
AntwortenLöschenwill you fire this? and will you show us the outcome?

AntwortenLöschenherzlichen gruß von mano
A perfect connection to the earth.
AntwortenLöschenThe lotus clay bowl is perfection. A lovely containing and yet not permanent vessel. It is of the earth, could hold earth and water and stones and crystals and a whole lot of things, including air. It may be able to hold fire for a period as well. It's a grand thing. *smiles* Norma
AntwortenLöschen... ich bin spät dran, es wurden schon so viele schöne passende worte für dich/deine arbeit gefunden, schliesse mich vor allem mano an. man wird ja von dir stets beschenkt! xox julia

I love how you get right to the heart of a theme. You can't get closer to the earth than this. Beautiful. I can smell that clay and feel it's chill.
