• I am that Blind Man: One Woman's Story (Part VI)
  by Jan Stead JEMproductions

  It was 1965 and I was in 4th Grade when my mother, a World War II Army nurse, became concerned about the increasingly prominent veins she…

  Well, here we go again, now up to Part VI of the continuing egocentric saga. / I must confess it is only the continued enthusiasm and encouragement of some very special people that is prompting me to continue with this story. It is that and a sure knowledge that this is a story which I must tell. For I am that blind man! Jan Part I / Part II / Part III / Part IV / Part V

  under the umbrella
  by Jan Stead JEMproductions

  Originally, through a computer glitch, this was loaded without a title, description or for sale option. A couple of wonderful photographers/writers, Enivea and GailD, commented and I could tell they’d jumped to the wrong conclusions. / After reading their comments I reflected upon them and was inspired to pen some words, by way of explanation but also as an observation. / It was through other bubbler’s _comments that this inspiration came… / _At least I think that’s what happened! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our country, / our culture / represented by this / blue green weave symbol of a life lived / in the sun / round the pool / at the beach / or river bank / caravan or camping ground / or backyard barbeques once a symbol of cold and damp / wet and wintry days / it has been changed / transformed / re-born / into a shelter / a shade a beach / umbrella! ©Jan Stead JEMproductions, 2008

• EEG Avatar Challenge WINNER!!!
  by Chookas

  I am so pleased this one actually came to the fore – after all it is a piece about creating art and inspiring others to create art which…

  Sorry this has been such a confuzzlement process. But I expected the first challenge to be so … / The next one should run smoother now we all know what to expect! ☺ Thank you to all the contestants and to those who took the time to vote / and for everyone’s patience while I sorted stuff out! lol ☺ ☼ Happy Bubbling! ☼

• January Journal Junket!
  by Chookas

  09-01-09 Ok people! [What is Junket? …. umm …. a dessert, flavoured curdled milk, or curds & whey [there was a chick who gave it up…

  09-01-09 Ok people! [What is Junket? …. umm …. a dessert, flavoured curdled milk, or curds & whey [there was a chick who gave it up for a scary spider dude once] Mum usually always makes it for Christmas she makes strawberry flavour with nutmeg on top I like the junket just NOT the nutmeg! Now days I think it’s made with jelly crystals dissolved into boiled milk & cooled in the fridge overnight! – I think that’s how Mum made it.] [What has Junket to do with this? Well I don’t really like trifle (the dessert with sponge & fruit & jelly {jello for you yanks} & custard) the name just doesn’t do it justice or is it because my sisters attempt put me off looking at it for life? ANYhoo this journal is a bit of a hotch-potch so I thought mix it in & hope for the best! – had this great recipe for a cake once you just throw all the ingredients in a bowl stir once then shove it in the oven and hey presto layers of all sorts of yummy things! – must get that one again!] ☼ So It’s a new month and a new year and the EEG is going strong! / In two months we have clocked up: / 60 Magnificent Members / 7 Gallery pages of Awesome Art, / 7 Anthem pages of Wonderful Writing / a select Wardrobe collection of Terrific Tees! / And a Jumble of Journal entries! / CHECK IT ALL OUT!!! / For such a specific group that is just S T U N N I N G !!! ☼ I have finally gotten the features up a whole smorgasbord of art and writing / and our featured Members are the newest ones of the group to date! / WELCOME!!! ☼ I have started a new Forum string … er line … umm whatever …. Oh yeah – thread ☺ and it’s to ask you / “What influences you to do what it is that you do?” so please drop in Here and let us know you never know you may have more in common with other members than you thought! / The other thread “How do you fit bubbling into your life?” [here—] is still going so if you feel like dropping a line or two in there too – go for it! ☼ A quick heads up too that next month – “February’s Foray” will be all about the challenge for changing the avatar at the end of the month! This challenge is a draw to bring in new artists. So the stipulation is that the EEG artist look outside the EEG for their inspiring art & draw that non EEG artist in. The last challenge was very slack about this, after all the EEG was small [only 20members & 3 weeks old if I remember rightly] but we are bigger & older now – the idea of Ekphrasis & treatise and inspired art creations have been out in the bubble for a bit. This is YOUR chance to spread the EEG word! / There’s a thunk! Check out the collaboration groups and the inspiration groups and pick someone from one of them! / Don’t forget I am NOT pushy about artists sitting in the group and not posting work / - it is as much a stable of artists as it is a gallery of art, or an anthem of writing, or a wardrobe of T-shirts! [& a jumble of Journals!] / - I know how hard it is to create Exceptional Ekphrasis and I would rather you took your time and be proud of your art than gave in crappy work just cos! Now for those who haven’t done an EEG challenge before the rules are simple enough: / Check out the stated ones on the front of the forum item page EEG Avatar Challenges / OK that seems simple enough doesn’t it? if not bmail me and I’ll try to make that clearerish (?) ☼ So much for this Junket leaving it to February’s Foray to be all about the challenge! <( ….. lol it’s ok I am a scout and our motto is Be Prepared …. Hmmm 9 days late with the feature change? Ok I’m a practicing scout ….. I am still practicing! lol Ummmm was there anything else? Oh yeah……. ☼ Serious stuff now! / There has been some art thieving going on and there are several journal entries going around about it. / I don’t usually have journals in the EEG unless they are pertaining to ekphrasis in particular but I have let one come in and I urge you to read it as it will give you the heads up to check your own art and make sure you avoid the thief(ves) indicated. RoxyLust’s Journal Thank you Roxy for this warning! / Mind you we writers have this issue ALL the time – but then it is next to impossible to sell our writing so who would bother stealing something they cannot sell? ☼ Also a heads up to – check out Mary’s Journal on how to avoid link mishaps due to smart punctuation in your word processing. Thanks Mary a great piece of advice that some may not get otherwise! Bravo! ☼ OK that’s where we are up to this month [I think!] Resolutions are just so easy to break but I hope whatever life re-evaluations & revamping you choose to make happen goes well for you! Have a ☼ B R I L L I A N T 2 0 0 9 !!! ☼ Chookas! X♥X

  Phoenix Avatar
  by tkrosevear

  The hosts of Exceptional Ekphrasis, adgray, chookas, skik and Tim Everding have graciously asked that this artwork be used as their avatar and I am truly honored to re-submit it with DJ Conway’s words also rising like the Phoenix… Out of ashes, new beginnings / Out of fire comes new power / Out of darkness, new day dawning / Phoenix help me in this trying hour. DJ Conway May these words resonate with those in Victoria, Australia who have been victim to the bushfires…

• ♣ MARCH MENTIONABLES ♣

  G’Day EEG Guys & Gals It’s March and I thought it time to Kickstart this group again lol / We all fell asleep while the Bushfires raged…

  G’Day EEG Guys & Gals It’s March and I thought it time to Kickstart this group again lol / We all fell asleep while the Bushfires raged and took my attention away. / But now I have that side settled into a pattern I can re-inject some oomph into this awesome EEG Starting with Our New avatar becoming Phoenix Rising / by the awesome tkrosevear ( as voted for by the majority of the bmails I received ) Thank you Tammy for this image, I hope it will serve us well for the next three months! / And I also hope it will remind everyone that for at least the next three months there are still thousands of homeless survivors of the Black Saturday Victorian Bushfires 07-02-09 please check out PHOENIX APPEAL for all the details and for any way you could possibly help! Thank you, your compassion is highly valued! Our other avatars have been: 1st (Oct – Nov 08) / Mystery Lost / By the hosts – art Tim Everding and story adgray 2nd (Dec 08 – Feb 09) / First Avatar / Art and poem from Tracy Bagnall My idea of generating more interest and members in the group by running the challenge seemed to fall in a heap! Hmmmm communiation is just ….. lacking lol Perhaps I do have to badger with Gmails – but then the roumer is that RB are changing the Gmail system. Now after 4 months, the group stats as they stand today are: Members : 86 …. ☼ YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!! ☼ 726 works (113 so far have been feartured) Consisting of: Art : 457 ( Visual Art you have created with another’s art in mind! ) / Clothing : 24 ( Teeshirt Art you have created with another’s art in mind! ) / Writing : 193 ( TREATISE work – Creatively written pieces with another’s work in mind ) / Journals : 78 ( Journal entries that are about your {or another’s} art – process or prowess! ) Currently the Hosts are Me (Chookas) adgray ( me again lol ) Skik and Tim / The gents have been a little silent because I have been trying to establish the grounding of the group – clarifying what is an ekphrasis and the rules we need to make sure we are not stomping on copywrite toes. / I think we’ve achieved that! So Now I am pulling them in to a more active role and also I have asked the wonderful Trace Henham to accompany us at the helm. She being in the Northern Hemisphere will give me some chance to rest easy as she looks after the (Australian) Night Shift! lol So if you need an immediate question answered {You mob over there} Trace hopefully will be able to help you. ~ Hey Trace Take a Bow! lol So with such a team working together we should make 2009 the year to explode Exceptional Ekphrasis all over the bubble! ☼ EEG AWESOME ACCOLADES! ☼ This Fortnight’s Featured Artists are: ◘ tkrosevear – for her stunning Avatar! / ◘ Isa Rodriguez / ◘ EIYPares / ◘ Artisandelimage / ◘ Taiche / ◘ Jan Stead JEMproductions / ◘ Blythart / ◘ David Parkin And the Featured Exceptional Ekphrasis works are: ☼ / Clothing ◘ Recycle by Taiche – intrinsic responsible lifestyle practice ◘ When Irish Eyes are Smiling by Taiche – for all the Irish to enjoy {St Patrick’s Day 17-03-09} ◘ Which Mask Should I wear today? by Isa Rodriguez – to make us all aware that every image we present is a mask of some sort and we have the power to change that image at any time! [ The trick is to recognise it in ourselves and change it in time! ] ☼ / Treatise Journal (other than this one! lol) ◘ The Creative Process in action Blythart shows us how one style of ekphrasis art is created ☼ / Visual Art ◘ Simply Marmalade by Jan Stead JEMproductions – I don’t know about you but having seen my Mum create Marmalade there is a definate creative knack to it! and Jan presents it in such a gorgeous recipe book “Cottage” style! Yuuummmy! ◘ PINKALICIOUS in London by EIYPares – having seen the photo that inspired this painting I think one of our new EEG members has done a brilliant job! ◘ I Juggle with Harmonies by Artisandelimage – this is a brilliant work interpreting the seeming cocophany that can be Jazz (as a Jazz singer I can well appreciate the analogy of juggling harmonies! lol) A great ekphrasis from another EEG new Member! ◘ Iron Swirls by adgray – not only a great ekphrasis of the old ironsmith’s art but she managed to take the photo right! (even if I do say so myself! lol) ☼ / Treatise Writings ◘ Keith by David Parkin – David is a master of creating the most amazing video Ekphrasis work! Honouring the artists work with his ability to orchestrate image order and music score to enhance the whole experience of viewing stunning visuals! ◘ We Live Again by Jan Stead JEMproductions – What surprised most people around the world was that the Catastrophic Bushfires of Black Sat suddenly banded together so many people! And we as Australians showed our true essence of mateship and HELPED! Each other in such adversity and in support of those who saw Hell and survived. From a population of about 20,000,000 we raised a whopping 155,000,000 in 3 weeks for the relief of the people and the rebuilding of their homes and towns. [PHOENIX APPEAL have contributed a whopping 1500 of that! Not bad for am art website!] I like to think of it as we were baptized by Fire and we have come through it brilliantly! ◘ Procrastination Killer by adgray / - “NEVER Put off till tomorrow what you can do today” – tomorrow just may never come! ☼ B R A V O !!! ☼ Chookas!
