The Mantel of Old Souls
What is on your mantel lately?
*
is it Bare..is it Full?
Decorated with Flowers?
Pictures?
We adorn our spaces..with symbols, trinkets and memories
colors, shapes, textures..
Lately my mantel is charmed with old souls
Copper Goblets and crystals and candles.
I love taking photos to create a mood..to stir feelings,
conjure an atmosphere
*
I love symbolic suggestion..
Look..A Copper Goblet with Golden wings..
I am also captured inside..
*
Sometimes I like taking photos with a flash
even when not needed
..or take photos in poor lighting
with low light settings
or in the complete Dark
to see what magic will transpire..
*
the flash sparks like lightening in the dark..
..and a sheen or glare
comes into the picture..
casting a spell and giving it an old feel
*
The result ...is like an imperfect photo
that you would see in someone's old photo album
..yet it still feels lovely and charming in it's own way
I love that vintage-y- vibe!
do you like experimenting too?
Faces charm the mantle
with their own secret worlds..
I love to tilt photos
and if you know me by now..
you'll see many upsidedown too..
Can you see the Diamond Windows shining through her Heart?
Magical!
*
She is one of my favorites /print/paintings of long ago
The Lady with a Unicorn
~1506~Raffaello Sanzio~
*
I love the windows in her heart..
like a sign ..a message, a beautiful secret.
More vintage-glare
Copper warms the scene and mutes the gold
amethyst anchors the golden wings on antique wood
*
Thanks for stopping by...
Wishing you a magical day
and beautiful week!
Thanks for visiting...and sparking my world
