In response to a prompt at Easy Street Prompts. Weird prompt = weird collage. Struggled with this one for weeks.

Whisper of the Beloved

the text is really difficult to read because I was fighting with my pen and still having trouble with the curly script. Here is the quote:

Let silence take you to the core of life... All your talk is worthless when compared to one whisper from The Beloved. -Rumi

This started out as a response to the prompt "eyes" for the Make It Monday group. Somehow, though, as the concept expanded in my mind, the eyes were replaced by these "sealed for your protection" things I got off some vitamin bottles. They remind me how easily the eyes lead us astray in our search for meaning. So, I guess even without the eyes themselves, the eyes are still the theme of this piece for me.

Response to a prompt on the Yahoo gluebooks group to base a page on the color or shape of my eyes.

The background paper I got free at the dollar store - they used it to wrap a purchase. My eyes are more hazel than green, but I had to use this paper!
