it all started with a wish
my wish
to have my wall in my bedroom
R E D
inspired
by the image above
*
to do something
really DO it
by myself
from start to finish
for myself
is what I am not good at ...
for sommeone else , no problem
for myself ..............
the plan
it started with knowing
I have to have a plan
with a beginning ....
a middle and
an end .
than I visited someone
who suffers from depressions
and I saw how her life was
and all the possibilities she has
but was not able to use
and I realised
I had to take my own first step
make my own plan
so
when I got home
I started by finding inspiring
images on my pinterest board
and the one above
is my color-inspiration
than
I saw this
someone
offered these for sale
on facebook
all in one sale
and
I knew
I had to have them
I immediately had an idea
how to use them
on my red wall
my project was born
when I reacted on facebook
I could have them and
it turned out
it was only 5 minutes from my house !
I never do something like this
react on such a thing
and going to get them MYSELF
so
for me
it was a HUGE step .
next step is going to the store
and have my own RED colour mixed.
it has to be a warm red
with a kind of orange touch
so I am thinking of
having some orange too
and decide by myself
to use that across eachother
Now you know I am NOT a handyman !
I have this idea
for "my" frames to collect things
I love and put them in the frames
as .... pictures
but also words or sentences
objects
well I better show you
when it's done .
the colours will be
red*orange*pink*bit yellow
and G O L D .
today I saw for the first time
work from an Italian artist
named Arianna Caroli
it was a You Tube movie
and I LOVED IT .
I do not know how to show it
overhere so I just let you know
how it is called
and you can maybe see for yourself
*
L'Officiel Thailand - Culture
"Art is Forever"
by Arianne Caroli.
*
work in progress
I am excited
*
I can't wait to see what you do with all of your frames.

Lieve Francis, WAT een GEWELDIG plan! Ik zie het eigenlijk al een beetje voor me............
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIk ben heel erg benieuwd en je weet.......EENS kom ik bij je op de koffie! Heel veel liefs, Lia
WOW. Francis, I just watched Arianna Carolli and have saved that Youtube video to my Pin Board. It's all about CHANGING, TRANSFORMING. This life is just the beginning, Francis! This is our PRACTICE stage for the real CHANGE one day. BRAVO FOR YOU, for any of us who take the challenge to GO OUT and do something whether it's painting a room, going out of our comfort zone. I have to learn this lesson EVERY DAY as a teacher. I have struggled in the last 3 years, teaching at the middle and high school levels after having reached a comfort zone in the elementary level for nine years. I've cried, I've doubted...but Arianna said something very important in her presentation, something I just recently wrote about in my quotes: GRATITUDE. While we are thankful along our journey, a spiritual transformation occurs.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI know you are thankful for so much. NOW? GO OUT AND DO WHAT YOUR HEART WISHES, and fear not.
Much love, Anita
Your blog site jolted me awake. Your writing style and thoughts give me pause. The photos you present are filled with so much color I feel joy! You are stretching, being that I feel we are of similar age I think that is what we are doing now. A book club that I joined has done this for me....at times uncomfortable....but has made me grow. I am following you and appreciated what you have to say. Bobbie
BeantwoordenVerwijderenthank you for your comment . I have been searching to find yours but I cannot find you . Please let me know where I can find you .
VerwijderenRED, how I love this color, Francis! It IS a happy color, isn't it? These are cool frames, and that's great that you went to pick them up yourself and have a few ideas on what you're going to do with them. I can't believe it was only 5 minutes away from your house! Pink and Red is even sweeter, love those colors together. I look forward to seeing what you create, Francis. Good luck with this project.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenlove, ~Sheri
Enjoy the color
