LOVER OF LACE

Model: Alanna Reynolds
Dissipate fools Away
As she never quite knew how to touch
Lending a moment
Owning her fears
Like a cat screeching to a halt and rounding
A 360 to the shadows
To the cellar
To the tears
Cracks and crevice
Lace and Luck
The chance for redemption
From a four cornered rut
Wearing the finest of silk
Hounding a lover of dreams
She nar touched the layers of life
And she lived in the seams
LOVER OF LACE belongs to the following groups:

Hey there lacey. Hope you had a great weekend. And look at this … a lovely creation and some thought provoking words. “She lived in the seams” ... playing it safe, no doubt. But she loved the fanciful look of life that surrounded her. Life is a web of many journeys but we have to leave the seams to experience the dreams.
linaji replied

Owning her fears
Like a cat screeching to a halt and rounding
A 360 to the shadows
To the cellar
To the tears
damn…..this is a feeling that i can touch…
i love that she is looking to the center of the lace and that to me the center is the “I” unfolding…love this lina..and you.
linaji replied
Gosh as I was reading Keiths words.. I really got inspired and as I read yours my heart leaps.. sometimes. friend I feel so blessed to have both mediums.. like my own muse.. you know what I mean cause you do the same.. it is a wonderful feeling to pair the two and work off each other.. like we do dar… Much Love to you and thanks so very much!!

Beautiful image of a sad women!! She was so caught up with loving herself and her beautiful clothes and lace that she never knew the love of another!! :>)
linaji replied
So many times.. we have something so real and beautiful.. and we don’t let our hearts open up.
We see the loving herself here was conditional too Keith.. for now.. that four cornered rut rules.. and living in the seams is not too much love for ones self either.. Wow.. you really opened up something for me here.. feels good to explore.thanks so much

seeing love in woman and love of you makes your mixed metaphors more is waiting, sad not. she sees feels and knowledge the gift.. this is what i see. the sad must come in beautiful lace as she gazes through to gossamer the life and she is joy. love this linaji…..and you to. how your heart inspires. janet
linaji replied

Another great image, Lina! I absolutely love the words! A sad reality for the many reasons we all could have as your protagonist for living in the seams, never summoning the courage to surface and perhaps live truly. No risk, no gain.
linaji replied
Ahh My dearest Joe.. Happy New Year to you and YOURS!! Indeed this is the fate of so many and almost of me!! I seem to have allowed my eyes to see and my heart to show me the way.. What a blessing these last 10 years have been.. I feel it was Mother India who ripped open my chest and took my heart and squeezed the chambers of my Being ..back from a passive and uneventful knowing.. Peace and Joy are Ours!! BUT YOU SURE DO KNOW THIS FRIEND!!
Happy 2009!!
David Friederich
Lina, you are such an artist in every way. I think your life must be a work of art in itself. I am moved by your words and the image. The title is so great, and the line, “She lived in the seams” is powerful, and powerfully represented by the image.
~D
linaji replied
My darling David Friederich.. Happy New Year!! This is a gift to read your responses. I was out all day/night yesterday getting the work done for this amazing celebration around the world. I am smiling and knowing how lovely it is that I have a man such as you gifting me with your rich and deep comments. You know you are dearly loved by many here friend you bring such a passion of the Wild LIFE to us and your eye for what we are creating is no less so.
This new year will bring us all this depth of Spirit and Joy of heART!! I can feel it!! I feel like one time I lived in the seams of my life.. A bit pensive and full of fear to touch and BE and see all of the wonder in my surroundings and in the people I hold dear and near. None of this for me anymore David!! LOLOL!!~
HERE IT COMES.. 2009!! Much Love, Linaji
syd baker
Wowie wow, you amaze me, one image to the next, and so prolific lately, did the prose follow the image?
linaji replied
Yes.. Syd.. I felt a kind of spurt in my art and my ability to produce. my brother who has been an artist all his life called me yesterday and we talked. I told him how I had been up from 6:00am to nearly 10:00pm doing some of these images.. btw some I had started a bit and then they took off this day/night. I have had this happen a few times in the last year that I began this journey.. I am so pleased with my life and this work.. I feel like I have a ways to go.. like forever.. but these growing spurts are fun and they even amaze me. I think when we finally allow the truth of who we are to shine we begin to see the truths of all the seers and profits speak.. One who some call Jesus said one thing I do not think is ever really believed by many religious persons…
“AND GREATER WORKS WILL YE DO”
and so it is I believe.. that though this work I feel the endless stream of the eternal nature of who we are.
Thanks so much Syd.. and I do hope in your work you find some kind of joy,.. what is it like to work at Hallmark???
linaji replied
opps.. that would be Prophets.. tee hee.. your the first reply at 7:00am.. perhaps this new year will bring the green stuff in!!! lolol
