Poets you may know

For my

Waddington Weekly

altered playing card project this week, I have chosen a poem by Francis Thompson.

From stones and poets you may know,

Nothing so active is,

as that which leasts seems so.

Everness

Altered playing card number 50 of my

Waddington Weekly

project uses a few lines from a poem by Jorge Luis Borges.

everything is part of that diverse

Crystalline memory, the universe;

Whoever through its endless mazes wanders

Hears door on door click shut behind his stride

Tread softly

A poem by W B Yeats is my choice for this week's

Waddington Weekly

altered playing card.

I have spread my dreams under your feet;

Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

The image of the shoe is from The Graphics Fairy.

Just Enough

The Soul School class by Melody Ross at Brave Girl University for December is entitled

Pocket for Truth Cards

The Truth Cards will be kept on display all month on my desk,

Truth Cards

The Lonely Sea

Starting the countdown to the end of this year long project,

Waddington Weekly

my altered playing card this week

uses a few lines from a poem by John Masefield.

I must go down to the sea again,

to the lonely sea and the sky

And all I ask is a tall ship

and a star to steer her by.

I added Glossy Accents by Ranger to create a star.

Captain of my Soul

I have chosen a poem by W. E. Henley for my

Waddington Weekly

altered playing card.

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul

Using an enlarged image of a stamp from my collection.

Original stamp

We must go ...

The poem I have chosen today for my

Waddington Weekly

altered playing card project is by Charlotte Mew.

The world is cold without

And dark and hedged about

With mystery and enmity and doubt

But we must go

Though yet we do not know

... what marks we shall leave upon the snow.

Remembrance

Waddington Weekly this week falls on Remembrance Day.

I have chosen a poem by Dylan Thomas for my altered playing card.

Where blew a flower may a flower no more

Lift its head to the blows of the rain.

Life is Beautiful

This is the title of the November class at Brave Girl University by Melody Ross.

I followed the same format as last month.

Inside pocket for copy of Melody's artwork

A place for copies of Melody's artwork & my notes

My typed notes to capture the essence of each lesson

Lesson & Journal Prompts behind the artwork

Truth Card - You have enough

Truth Card - Make the most of where you are right now

Truth Card - Let life surprise you

Truth Card - Being different is good

Truth Card - Remember to stop & breathe

Truth Card - Embrace the changes in your life

In the future, I may just post my BGU projects on Instagram,

The Gale of Life

My altered playing card for my WaddingtonWeekly project this week,
uses a few lines from a poem by A E Housman.

There, like the wind through woods in riot,

Through him the gale of life blew high;

The tree of man was never quiet:

This week I have used an image from my stamp collection,
together with three glitter gems.
