dressing up for dinner

.

there are
thoughts
in my head

there is
a thought
in my head

and another

and one more

girly and swirly

periwinkle
and strawberry

fuzzy peachy cuddling
and passion fruit kisses

and a burst
of skittles freckles
on earlobes

powder blue sky
and acacia rain droplets
down my caramel shoulder
down between coy bosoms
and down to the black lace…

a black little dress
and black patent stilettos

mango polka dots
and cotton candy dreams

a taste lingering
on the tip of my tongue -
cranberry wine

and you

worn in my heart

.

trouble is a friend
i know it’s the same song
but it makes me hum and bob my head ;P

  • syd baker

    syd baker

    Hi Mimi, there’s a whole different thing about these book pieces, I think it’s the scale, the handwriting, the surface effect of the string plus the book itself that make this so personal, I can almost catch the scent your perfume… lovely.

  • mimi yoon replied

    what beautiful words… but you always do leave me these wonderful words, syd…. thank you so so dearly…. sketchbooks are more personal for all artists, i believe…. i truly appreciate you…. : )
    (the scent if any is my shampoo ;P)

  • David Roman

  • rjcolby

    rjcolby

    This is beautiful in word, drawing and yarn, in combination, nicely tied together… Your sketchbooks are a treat… You create so much beauty without being near your paints…
    To me, this is Mimi at play. Words based on what you feel at the end. ”...and you in my heart”.

  • mimi yoon replied

    hi rj… this is me at play, most definitely…. you can tell by the words… it’s girly and swirly… : ) thank you always for your kind and beautiful words…. i initially had the hair taped with a torn piece of masking tape instead of the yarn, but i thought it didn’t go too well with mango polka dots and cotton candy dreams…. so i changed and i’m happy… art is play…. : )

  • Sam Dantone

    Sam Dantone

    I always dig your sketch book pieces.

    Especially your marriage of the dimensions…

  • kjgordon

    kjgordon

    not quite sure what is more beautiful…....your spirit or your art…........
    perhaps without that beautiful spirit there would be no art…......
    Now where would you like to go for dinner?????

  • mimi yoon replied

    let’s go to veronese…. : )

    and that goes for all “true” artists…. without beautiful spirit, there would be no art…
    thank you so so much, kj…. you rock…. : )

    cranberry wine? that actually exists?? i like it – vitamin C and tipsiness all in one. I wish you were here when I had the flu, we could’ve sat together like 2 sick monkeys and drank cranberry wine…

  • mimi yoon replied

    not sure…. had pomegranate wine…. raspberry wine…. blackberry wine… strawberry sake… lemon sake… cucumber sake…. but cranberry wine, never had it or heard of it….

    cranberry wine sounded better with a black little dress and patent stilettos than cranberry juice… : )

    and you painted one funny image in my head, jim… thanks… : )
