this is the experimenting with the Inktense pencils of a month ago.   I had taken off the cloth fragments and just the drawing has been here,  next to me on the Everything Table.   I realize how i don't do a lot of experimenting,  but rather keep repeating what i know i like.   This comes into question.

one of those 2am times last night and i picked it up,  held it up and the little light from the table battery CHANGED EVERYTHING in a split second.   

i'd been thinking i wanted it in the Collage Book that i begin with Acey next week.   As i held it and looked,  i thought how if i glued it down,  i would never be able to see it this way again….backlit,   glowing.   This morning i thought it's good.  I will remember that it's two Things with one to be unseeable,  but remembered.  And,   this tells me to Experiment MORE.  There is always More.

In an email from Jan Up North California from here,  she wrote:

"I am trying to live a new way.  to create a path to and into the new."

not many words, but such a subtle nuance.   a New Way.    I sat and let them rest in my mind/heart.   What is the Difference that struck me so?   To understand that.   Not to live a different way  in  this  confusion.  IE  to rearrange things to make it hopefully more,   uhhhh,   livable.    But rather to envision a NEW way to live,   create a path to it    and Enter.  And this remains still in keeping with that thing of SteadFast.   To be Steadfast in my love of Earth and to find whatever it takes.

    Hi Jacqui – just thought I’d chime in to provide a link to all the posts I’ve made setting up a 30 day collage challenge to start on January 2nd. If you follow this link and scroll down to the end of the categorized posts, you can discover everything up to the point where I started posting twice daily collage inspiration posts. That’s all I’ll post until the 31st so you don’t need a link to scroll through them if you just click on ‘home’ once you’ve finished the category thread.

    So what if you gently washi taped the inktense paper you love into your book and see how that feels? Just tape one side, like a hinge, and you can still lift it up to see with light behind it. Plus if you find you just want it back the way it used to be that tape will pull right off without harming the paper.

    how we can have our cake and eat it too … using the paper, but having the memory of its translucency here on the blog … where the image itself is backlit by the screens on which it appears
