• How the Bride of Innocence was conceived . . .

  Why Red? / I love accenting images with Red because red is the color of pain, the color of love, of stolen innocence, it is the color that flows during birth when a woman brings life into this world, it is often the color that flows out of us as we leave this earth. Today i am sharing part one of, “The Bride of Innocence”. The backgrounds you see are from the balcony pics i took during the daytime. WHAT THE LOSS OF INNOCENCE ISN’T My fellow creative Marny Barnes offered me some words that were powerful and rang true: I refuse to beleive that you don’t hold a peice of that innocene still…somewhere in all that torture you were strong enough to keep some of that innocence safe and just for you. AND I will tell you why I think that. YOU STILL see beauty all around you, / You bleed beauty and innocence out of all your work, / You touch the beauty in the torture and the pain and it grows roses…and color….and ART. If you had no innocence, you would not see the world and other peoples art with such wonder. I SEE INNOCENCE IN YOU. / YOUR HEART IS PURE AND BEAUTIFUL. YOUR ART IS BEAUTIFUL. / THE WORDS YOU LEAVE TO INSPIRE OTHERS / (ON YOUR OWN WORK…..AND THEIRS) IS BEAUTIFUL There is a mourning for the innocence i never got to have or experience as a child. / That is part of what makes incest and sexual abuse so painful. HOWEVER . . . / Marny brought to the light of my consciousness, something i failed to realize and address in my work . . . That my sweetness, my love, did not die when i was abused. It is still at my core and at my essence. My love of sweet joys remain, my softness, light, grace and hope. And these are aspects i will seek to express in my future survivor-orientated work. And i thank you Marny so much for bringing that to the surface of my consciousness. THE CONCEPTION / The Bride of Innocence (Jaeda as the Brides) was conceived back toward the end of May. That’s when construction workers put up scaffolding and started tearing down the supports on my 3rd story balcony and tarped it off. The construction guys worked a few days on my balcony, tearing stuff down, said something about needing to get permits – due to structural damage . . . and they haven’t been back since. So i decided i would get some pictures, now that my balcony is double long (they tore down the wall that separates my neighbor and me). Everything was bathed in a surreal blue light, from the tarp. The scaffolding was also double long and it looked like an endless hallway leading to the land of dreams, to heaven, anything your imagination can conjure up. The balcony itself looked very sad, broken and i kind of liked it’s decayed appeal and thought, at least i could use this to my advantage, creatively! So i went out on my balcony, during the day and night, and took lots of pictures. At night the tarped scaffolding resembled a boat marina or harbor at night. It looked so very different from, the hallway to heaven, of daylight. Previous to the balcony pictures, i had taken some studio pics of me in a makeshift bridal gown. I borrowed the bridal veil from my sister. Ripped the satin bottom off of an old nightgown for the top and used a sheer window treatment panel for the gown part/bottom because i don’t sew! LOL The bridal pictures i took of myself in the studio are what popped into my head as i was photographing the balcony and “The Bride of Innocence” was conceived. It is a slightly sad, disturbing series . . . but i wanted the next series i created to be along the lines of my Red Jane series. I felt like digging deep into all the little nooks and crannies of my soul and Spirit. All of those dark, repressed places that cry out to be acknowledged and expressed. partake and enjoy PEACE and LIGHT / j a e d a :) The Bride of Change The Bride of CHANGE / Peers through the isolating veil of pain and abuse – she is vulnerable / Her weakness is her strength because she OVERCOMES For she will no longer succumb to a tainted existence / Nor the toxic relationships, that leave dark stains on her soul / She knows . . .these ghosts of perversion and possession must go And the red of pain mixes with pink whispers of hope / She summoning the strength / To reach out, start anew and become WHOLE © Jaeda DeWalt listen to Jaeda recite The Bride of Change / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- The Bride of Innocence Pretty in Pink / She softly mourns for the bride she never got to be / No pristine, white gown for this lovely lady / She will never be the Bride of INNOCENCE She does not seek what she can not be given . . . / For innocence is the one gift, / That once stolen, / Can never be replaced yet the loss is forgiven © Jaeda DeWalt listen to Jaeda recite The Bride of Innocence / —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—- The Bride of Pain The Bride of PAIN is stuck inside / A blurry nightmare / As her subconscious rewinds her past / And plays it for her – over and over again . . . It is the kind of nightmare where / Violated flesh bleeds red / And the sound of innocence being stolen gets lost / Inside a hazy maze of surreal blue hues She falls to her knees in agony / She wants to find her way out of this repetitive dream / She knows to save herself / She must change the ending . . . © Jaeda DeWalt listen to Jaeda recite The Bride of Pain —-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-- CLOSE-UPS

• So very cool: my Heart Burning was sold. Twice!
  by Vasile Stan

  They say: when you’re hot, you’re hot … people noticed my Heart burning-...

  They say: when you’re hot, you’re hot … people noticed my Heart burning and, kind and loving beings as they are, bought it from me for full asking price without a blink! First, my very good friend in arts, well known by now for his luminous art and “operating” under the conspicuous names of Mr. B, aka butchart, bought the card version while I was sleeping, tiptoed into RB shop and, without me noticing, bought the card and sneaked right back out as fast as he came. Thank you so, so very much my friend. Just a couple of days later, another very good friend of mine in arts and an outstanding artist, Anthea Slade, have bought my Heart burning in card form and, to make me feel even better, added to it the Tango card, as if to say that she invited my Heart burning to dance. Thank you, thank you, thank you so Anthea. Oh, my good friends in arts, you make me feel too good about my art. / Now, I must better myself again not to dissapoint your kind appreciation. This is such a pleasant burden to have. Thank you so very much again.

• Today was a BIG day for me at Red Bubble!

  I had multiple sales of my art today, possibly from multiple persons. And while having a great deal of support from so many of you here at Red Bubble is fantastic, being able to sell work has been a dream of mine since I started creating art 40+ years ago – you know, about the time a baby was found in a basket floating down some river… For the purchaser(s) if you are Red Bubble members, I am deeply grateful for your patronage and hope that you enjoy the pieces as much as I enjoyed bring them to you. And for the purchaser if you’re not from Red Bubble, if it’s possible, I thank you even more for supporting the arts with your time and hard earned resources. We artists are an interesting bunch and most of us are tormented by so many aspects of everyday life that we bury ourselves in creativity for survival. And being that survival of the mind requires survival of the body, being supported by Patrons Of The Arts helps us feel a sense of belonging and making a positive contribution to society. Even if the purchase is small, it can help an artist looking for something – anything – to justify expending so much time and energy into a passion rather than sitting in front of a TV with a beer and waiting for the next shift on our “day jobs” to begin. But ALL purchasers/patrons should know that YOU are what adds the extra spice to the lives of any artist hoping to do more than create and die, as most artists do, without experiencing any of the joys of knowing what pleasure they brought to mankind. By purchasing something now, while we’re alive to see it and feel it and bask in it, you are making an artist like me a very, very happy and blessedly ALIVE artist! Bless you all! Sincerely, / Lenny La Rue

  ’ A Pets Prayer’ / If it should be that I grow frail and weak. / And pain should keep me from my sleep. / Then you must do what must be done. / For this,the last battle, can’t be won. Don’t let grief stay your hand. / For this day,more than the rest. / Your love and friendship stand the test. / We’ve had so many happy years. / What is to come can hold no fear. / You’d not want me to suffer. / So when the time comes,please let me go. Take me where my needs,they’ll tend. / Only,stay with me to the end. / And hold me firm and speak to me. / Until my eyes ,no longer see. I know in time,you will see,it is a kindness you do for me. / Although my tail,it’s last has waved. / From pain and suffering,I have been saved. / Don’t grieve it should be you who this thing decides to do. / We’ve been so close,we two,these years. / Don’t let your heart hold any tears. SMILE.FOR WE WALKED TOGETHER FOR A WHILE.

  I bought my own small mounted picture of “her eye…” and it was darker then my original painting. So I had to edit my work and put a new one in. It does not look as good as before but I am hoping the end result will be what I wanted. Sorry everyone.
