Riding the cusp between imagination and reality…
You know those days when you begin to wonder if you’re in some kind of hidden camera comedy/reality show? Well this morning was one of those days… I’d already decided yesterday that today I would write about Ouroboros Unbound, an image that was fastest and easiest to flow into life… I melted wax onto iron […]
Read More Ouroboros UnboundI just realised I lied. In my last post, I said that the Kites were the only animals that I met in the D. O. Looking through the remaing 7 cards, I find 2 more beasties. One to come maybe tomorrow and the other to speak today – The Cockrel. The day he arrived was […]
Read More Rooster CrowsYesterday, I realised that I was 2/3 of the way through the roll call of the D. O. images and I thought that maybe it might be a good time to bring out the first card of the project. I pulled out the fine fellow you see above and placed him face up on the […]
Read More Gate KeeperI previously mentioned the shelved image that stepped aside to let the Architect’s Hand slide into being… Working titles of dancers? Death dancers? (Though now officially named as per this blog post title). As I pulled this image out for the day, I smiled as I thought that it was number 13 to be written […]

Read More Flying KitesThis image in the D.O. formed part of a trio that came through together in a single journey. Burning Beau, was accompanied by Flying Kites (most likely my next post) and Dear Heart (as met in previous post). In many ways Burning Beau felt to be a counterpart to Dear Heart. His image forged through […]
Read More Burning BeauDuring lockdown, my house is filled with myself, Mr S, and 3 of our brood. We’re all absorbed with our own little things going on in our own little universes. Sometimes ripples sound out from theirs into mine… Daughter asking if I have a spare sketch book? Middle son drumming out beats, other son and […]
Read More Dear HeartArtistically, this image from the D.O. is not my favourite, but looks aren’t everything and this card earned it’s place in other ways. This strange image came after a journey with C and a conversation piecing together the visions we had seen. Four maidens sat in a behind the scenes room, around a table like […]
Read More Timing is EverythingThis was a relatively pain free birth. A couple of things differentiated this image from the others in the D.O. Firstly, this is the only card where I sacked off the original image and went back to the drawing board. At first glance, the fledgling image seemed to capture the vibe I was looking for, […]
