Holding onto spring, some Gelli print collage

I’m writing a second post in a week which isn’t easy when weather and health are conspiring against the mood. I  decided this morning in the face of another snow storm, (schools are cancelled here today) that I would need to stay positive and not do anymore whining about winter. You wouldn’t blame me though, would you? I picked up a few groceries early and felt I deserved these.

To top it off, the cold that I’d thought I’d beat with natural methods turned into the second chest infection of the year and I had to visit the clinic where I picked up another antibiotic. How I dislike taking them but with asthma and a compromised lung function, it was necessary. 

At least I’m feeling better today, and so, I headed to my studio this afternoon. Some days one needs a little easy creativity to relax. I pulled out some Gelli prints and started slicing. The cardboard first initial of my name was a birthday gift from a friend.

Going through the print box got me thinking about a few others.

I’m playing. Cutting and thinking about what if’s. Maybe it’ll go back into the box. It was a good diversion on such a day.

Maybe it should have a bird’s nest instead of flowers.

I’m hoping this midweek finds you healthy and content. If not, perhaps some soft music, some flowers and a wee bit of creativity would help.
