Dear Clare, great art re-creations! Thank you for liking my blog post and I wish you great health and joy in 2012. With many blessings, Dawn
As your link does not seem to work, here it is: Solsticetree I loved the mixture of quotes, experience, and summaries of reading. Thank you.
Clare, have been buried under lots of work and am just emerging with time and space on my hands to look back at some of your blogs – this is so funny! Thank you. I especially love your
The Awakening Conscience, by William Holman Hunt. Have you read ‘The Crimson Petal and the White’ by Michael Faber? I actually saw it on BBC2 last year and feel the book/TV drama brings to life the lives of the two people in the painting. If you get chance to watch it, do. It’s beautifully and lavishly filmed, has a brilliant cast of actors which includes the divine Gillian Anderson.
I loved it. Especially Shirley Henderson as the social campaigner. Was not Gillian Anderson luminous as Miss Havisham?
Absolutely! Her disintegrating Miss Havisham embodied a really creepy and multi-layered lost soul which was reflected by the way she spoke in a voice which seemed to be peeling (like her skin) into paper thin tissue … everything about her was spidery!!!
Ophelia. Absolutely Ophelia.
Ophelia was the best fun of any of them. The river in Norfolk was surprisingly warm, quite comfortable to float in. The planning, buying the dress and the flowers, were delightful. I am so glad you like it.
I love your photos! Ophelia is wonderful!
Thank you, Luke. Welcome.
this is just amazing: funny d intelligent for the art connoisseur and amusing for the rest!
Amelie, I am delighted that you appreciate the intelligence!
hi clare, i just found your page by a post that you made on “cauldrons and cupcakes”. i love your page and i especially love the “ophelia” piece. i did that myself many years ago in the grand canyon in arizona while i was on a river trip. love, pamela
Welcome, Pamela. Nicole is wonderful, isn’t she? I really enjoyed Ophelia, it gave me a complete buzz. And the water was pleasant, where I thought it would be chilly. Have you posted your picture anywhere?
hi clare, yes, i think i figured out how to post a few pics to my profile! it took me awhile but i think one shows up now.
hope you are having a beautiful day! love, pamela
Your link here is to your Etsy shop. Your jewellery is very pretty, though it says you are on holiday until January 15th. I would like to see your pictures.
thank you Clare for alerting me about my shop announcement section for The Flaming Pearl. when i got back from my holiday I forgot to change that section! ooops! I think there are a couple more pictures of me in my Gravatar profile. just click on my picture and it will take you to them.
i had a dream last night about shaving my hair off. i have always wanted to do that but as i have aged it has become less appealing to me. the closest i got was when i was 45 i cut it all to about 1″ all over. in the dream last night some men were after me to cut my hair because they wanted to sell it. so i knew they were going to overpower me and take it anyway so i thought i would just do it myself and then not give them the satisfaction of taking it from me. so i took scissors in hand and went into the bathroom and cut it all down to about 1″ again. it look really cute and i then hesitated once more to shave it all off. i woke up this morning late as i haven’t been sleeping well the past few nights and remembered the dream. it was a bizarre dream, but then that isn’t unusual for me! i have vivid bizarre dreams quite regularly.
hope you have a lovely day! pamela
Your co-angel in The Good and Evil Angels … is adorable! I’ll bet you two had a lot of fun.
She is a lovely person, and really got into it, determined I would not take the baby. All these photos were fun. That is why we did them- under my direction, of course.
