sometimes i have these dreams


where somehow i've climbed up very high


 i cannot get back down

because i am so afraid of heights that i can't bear the thought of descending.




it's like i feel safer standing at the pinnacle of my terror


i have started painting on delicate teabags


they are fragile and luminously beautiful in my eyes

charlotte sometimes

charolotte is the one i have left and is listed at Beware Of Dog.



15 insanely flattering remarks:

Maybe you are not afraid of the height...maybe you afraid of being "put on a pedestal" and being worshipped? Maybe you are afraid of not being able to live up to the expectations of others.....I say stand proud on that pedestal and flash your tits at the sky :D Tried the tea-bag painting today and loved it thanks :D XXX

oh my gosh Amy they are so beautiful almost translucent, I love the effect this has produced, .Must be tricky painting on tea bag material, beautiful outcome .

Cameron said...

I don't think I have the patience to paint on something so fragile...but the outcome is so soft and delicate....utterly feminine :)

I like the reptile skin texture on the 1st two, as well....cool!

last night I had a dream that I was at a broken vending machine. Every button I pushed would dispense a free snack. I NEEDED one of everything and was trying to do it quickly before I got caught. I'm not sure I want to know what that means about my life right now...

and I'm with Cam - that texture is supercool

Carol said...

Piarom said...

Hold tight and look out not down...

Unless you're looking at beautiful art painted on teabags... really - a teabag? Amazing!

So, I am confused. Is Steve's art thingy different from the first thing you started? And what is Butterfly Effect? I want to start participating, although it may just seem like I"m a flake. ...at least I am a very busy flake!

Daniele Valois said...

I am going to try this comment thing again, because I cannot write or anything today. So...first I said how I love your style and how bold and stylistic your work is...lalalaa...then I was asking about Steve's art thingy and is that is that different from the art class you're were doing at first? What is Butterfly Effect?

How interesting! I have similar dreams... I don't mind the climbing, it's when I'm up and think about coming down that I completely freak up... Your tea bag paintings are so delicate... lovely!
