An inverted etheree poem for W3 – photo prompt
colourful or plain
scraps of imagination
a treasure or trash
from a perfectly nothing
a future without hurry
Joining Tanka Tuesday.

time will tell
the right moment
not a second more
and not a second less
listen, your intuition
sailing in turbulent waters
let go of the grip, breathe in and out
sparkling water will show the direction
Joining the W3 prompt this week with an Etheree poem.
Choose a word from The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and make it the title of your poem. Your poem should either use the word directly or capture the essence of its meaning. Include a direct link to the word’s page so readers can explore its definition and origin. Write in any poetic form you wish.
I’ve chosen JUSTING, check the meaning here.
July 31st! Can you believe it’s the last day of July? Almost impossible to believe how fast this summer is going by. Today is the last day of #icad2025. Here are a few of them. The above one is maybe my fave of all of them, pure simplicity.
Another favourite card below, fall colours. The weather is already turning here, autumn is coming!
I hope you enjoyed this #icad series. If you would like to see more tiny art, check my Instagram.
Wishing a wonderful August to you!
Hello, I’m still doing my tiny cards, slowing down a bit, but keeping up with the challenge.
I attended an in-person watercolour painting course in the spring. I thought I could learn how to paint nicely. I learned a few things, but in general, I don’t like watercolour; I prefer acrylic. I also dislike painting within lines and prefer abstract painting, where the colours speak for themselves. I attended 9 classes out of the 12. Was it worth? Yes, it was! For sure, I’ve confirmed my creative style is a messy one. No rules, only fun!
“Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn’t supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something.”
― Rainbow Rowell, Eleanor & Park
It’s difficult to believe I’m keeping up with the art cards challenges! Week two is completed.
A messy card to match my messy desk.
Mixing up colours and stickers.
I’m not following the prompts, but I added a twig to this card, since the prompt of that day was a twig.
Hope you are enjoying the cards. Any favourite from these ones?
i used to go out
always
carrying my faithful companions
a journal, a camera and freedom
registering moments
as if they would disappeared
at any second
thoughts, images and details
now
the journals are piled up
in a corner of my closet
the photos are resting in a shoe box
and the memories are fading
i am alone

Hello, I’ve just heard that yesterday was Best Friends Day! I’m so grateful for all my online friends, here and on IG. Some of them for more than 10 years. Today’s card (above) is about connection, yes, I believe in it!
Yesterday was a peaceful day, so my card was all about relaxing.
My previous cards are below. Hope you enjoy them!
My icads are all about my feelings at the moment. The 2/61 is about dreams and freedom, and the 3/61, as you can see, is perfectionism, or better, letting go of it.
“Let go of perfection—it’s overrated. Your art, with all its quirks and imperfections, is perfect because it’s a reflection of you—unique, powerful, and real.” Arastasia
I got the inspiration for the 4/61 card below from my garden. I saw butterflies and birds everywhere this morning while drinking my coffee outdoors. The weather was pleasant and perfect to admire the playfulness of the little creatures among the plants.
I hope I have inspired you today!
June is here with warmer weather, flowers, sunshine, flip-flops, outdoor eating… Oh, my, so much goodness in this month!
June is also a time for the I-CAD (Index Card) challenge from Daisy Yellow, where we use an index card to create something during June and July, totalling 61 cards. I had joined this challenge for many years, but I let it go. This year I’m inspired to do it again. It’s so rewarding to see the card pile at the end of the challenge, and I really need to get my creativity mojo back.
My first one for this year. I put it together in less than 5 minutes. I prepped the background yesterday using a tea bag, and this morning I added the stickers. I like the result!
Happy new month to you!
