Up for the Collage Challenge and some Hand Lyntangles

Soul Brush invited me (and others) to join her in a collage making art endeavor. Not sure this is what she had in mind but when I had a hole in my day at work yesterday I grabbed some magazines from the waiting area, a pair of scissors from my desk, the scotch tape (no Elmer's glue there) and went to work/play! I know, I know...I kept looking at the young lithe woman I cut out and said: "Lynn, really!" But no, she stays as that is how I FEEL if no longer how I actually LOOK. It's maybe how I delude myself, how I still see myself inside my head/body...the rest is pretty obvious! Spring has sprung here! And I am in continuous pursuit of new art explorations! Such as the lyntangles done below:

  2. These are great Lynn. I too am in a perpetual state of delusion regarding my physical self. I think that is why God made our eyesight lessen as we get older. It makes that delusion easier. Ha...

  9. thats how I feel inside too. Hurrah for life. Lyntanges are great and remind me of M....something. The art of decorating the body with inks and swirls. Indian I believe.

  10. Suki, glad you feel this way too!
    Ain't life grand?
    I think you are referring to Henna painting. My DIL had a party with women prior to getting married where they all got Henna painted. It something from India.
