I have just joined a lovely group known as The Visual Dictionary / The art work in the gallery there is stunning! Please go and check it out. It is hosted by Lydia Marano and Jill Ferry / Fantastic!!! This is my first attempt at this style, so pls feel free to give me a good old fashioned critique. Perhaps the text area is too big. That is one of my thoughts anyway. Thanks for looking! / /

Addiction... or destiny of an antiques collector. by egold

Addiction (noun) / 1. The state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. / 2. The condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied with or or involved in something. It’s about my addiction, addiction to collecting antiques. As any other addiction it takes you all, you don’t see anything around except antiques. You live in your own world and recognize only your treasures or things you need. / Like a mollusk you live in your shell, getting out just for short time, to catch something and get back to your habitation. When you, shell-fish, staying alone, you as The Merchant of Venice, Shylock can look at your treasures again and again, count them through the hours. So… addiction to collecting is a sickness, some kind of disease… but so pleasant disease. Thanks to: / skydancer_stock from deviantart.com for the “collector” / pacsaman from deviantart.com for the beautiful female image; / Lorivintage55stock from deviantart.com for the “jeweled elephant”;

An exile from home, splendour dazzles in vain - / Oh! give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again; / The birds singing gaily, that came at my call; / Give me them, with the peace of mind, dearer than all / Home! home! sweet, sweet home! / There’s no place like home! there’s no place like home! / anonymous’..................Save the Wildlife .a first experimental creation using a Stag...

About This Group

A visual dictionary where images and typography are used in combination to define words and their meanings.

It’s really easy. Just add a suitable definition to an image the typography must be on the image, not just the description. As you become addicted this fun game, you’ll find yourself learning more and more about typography as well!

Here’s an example: you have a photo of your cat, Fuzzbutt, dozing in the sun. Suitable words would be cat, nap, sleep, lazy, time out, warm, happy … see where this is going? Good! Now just add the word and a short definition to the image and help us build our dictionary! ;)
