pegkerrWhen you set out to make major upheavals in your life, it takes some serious self-examination if you want to do a good job of it: remembering, pondering, cataloging, prioritizing, and daydreaming about alternatives.
That is what I have been doing this week. It has been very uphill work, but I hope it will pay off. I also hope that Elinor Dashwood will be able to explain more soon!
I tried two or three various approaches to this collage, so it took a bit longer to make than usual. I looked at various images for mirrors, and I experimented with skewing the first image I found but wasn't satisfied with the result. I had to hunt a bit to find a nice-looking mirror held at the correct angle. And then the picture of me holding up a mirror and looking into it just seemed too simple to be satisfactory or complete, and I decided to add the lotus for enlightenment and an owl for wisdom. When I came across this particular owl, I was immediately struck by the idea that it looked as though it could be peering in the mirror, too, which I thought added a slightly humorous touch.
This one I'm pretty pleased with.
