  • You are beautiful!

    By Tangerine Meg | March 7, 2010

    Greetings, Beautiful and Glorious ones!

    Continuing on the theme of beauty from last time…

    There is synchronicity going on. The other day I took this photograph of a footpath (sidewalk) message:

    Within hours I found a site which seems to have a mission similar to the ‘concrete-writing encourager’. It’s called Operation Beautiful and intends to transform the way people view themselves, one post it note at a time! One of my favourite suggestions is the succinct: “Count your blessings, not your blemishes.”

    You are beautiful. Just as you are. Right now.

    Live Bold List 13: Beauty and Truth

    By Tangerine Meg | March 1, 2010

    Hello, dear Petals of Life’s Beautiful Flower; and a warm welcome to readers new and old!

    Whilst Work in Percolation is brewing on the other end of this multi-purpose gigantic table at which I sit, I offer a list themed on Beauty and Truth. I have been thinking about that quote:

    Beauty is truth, truth beauty.
    -George Keats

    Live Bold List 13: Beauty and Truth

    1. There’s great site, Choosing Beauty, where you will find extra story to this cool video of a mural being painted as well as the story of a coincidental connection. I love art on walls! :)
    2. This link is worth taking a look just for the cool illustration. In “Happy Healthy Boobs”, Christine Kane frankly talks about how she managed to set herself up to have positive surroundings and useful feedback for her process.
    3. Are you ever mystified by teenage behaviour? This article, an interview with Frances Jensen (pediatric neurologist) gives some clear scientific insight into what is going on! The graph is interesting, it seems the white connecty stuff that makes our brain more ‘adult’ diminishes again later on. I wonder what that implies for older folk! Let’s face it, we’re all heading that way, Universe willing!
    4. I adore Sesame Street. Have been slowly making my way through their 40 year anniversary book. How cool would it be to make an animation for Sesame Street? ‘Twould be a beautiful thing.
    5. Want to take It IS Easy being Green to a whole new level? Even using 1 or 2 tips from this thorough list of 17 easy alternatives to everyday disposables would make a difference! My next step towards the Beauty of Reusability is to add to my collection of reusable glass containers. Some creative op-shopping is in my future I see!
    6. The wonderful WOMADelaide (World of Music and Dance, Adelaide) is here in only days. You can download some of the WOMAD artists’ music for free and start getting yourself ready for the beautiful chilled extravaganza of sound.

    Have a beauty beautiful day,
    Meg

    Fringe parade and printing in the vicinity of kookaburras

    By Tangerine Meg | February 23, 2010

    Hello Wonder Beings!

    Hooray for the Fringe Parade! This is me in my giant puppet rig as a Space Knight getting ready to walk the path!

    Cool sunlight effect on the photo. Thanks for the picture Kurt; he was wearing a similar rig. Unfortunately I did not have a similar phone camera. I am pleased to have completed the distance in the set up, it was a challenge.

    Those of you who are ‘fans’ on my Visual Artist page on Facebook know that I did some lino printing today. Hooray! Whilst I was printing inside there were kookaburras laughing outside. I am sure that kookaburras laughing near printing can only be A Good Thing! :)

    I am just pondering having a Mothers Day Competition again this year. Do you think that would be fun? Let me know below in the comments section or on my Facebook Visual Artist page. More details when I have them, but last year a lucky person (Hi Nick!) won 6 of my art cards and a lovely silk scarf from Oxfam.

    May kookaburras laugh near you,
    Meg

    Live Bold List 12: Collected wisdom

    By Tangerine Meg | February 11, 2010

    Hello wonderful Dearhearts,

    Work in progress: Hooray! Here’s a shot of the partly-carved lino for my next print. You can see it will have little squares making up the border, and some leafy goodness.

    work in progress - ptl

    In between the doing of the carving (and the running of the errands!) I have been gathering little goodies for you from the internet. I must be in a phase of needing / enjoying life lessons this week, as that seems to be the theme. This could probably even come under the category of Live Bold List! (spoken in a resonating, deep manner + echo… echo….) Ta-daaaaa…. The first Live Bold List of 2010!

    Live Bold List 12 : Collected wisdom

    1. Wisdom from an 11-year old at All I Did was Listen blog. It’s short; I thought you might like the picture there too. Ummm….
    2. An astute and lively list from the lovely Meg Fowler, listing some of the life lessons she has learned from Gradon. How awesome: “Music is a vitamin.”
    3. There’s food for thought in Jonathan Fields’ 8 Timeless Rules for my (his) 8-year old daughter. I specially liked numbers one and two: 1. Never get a tattoo you can’t see, and 2. Never get a tattoo you can see!
    4. One of my favourite comedians is now blogging. Meshel Laurie says she started blogging because she can’t get a paid column… Her cheery signoff: “…I’ve decided to blog as no one can stop me and if I’m not going to get paid, I don’t expect to have to follow any rules either. Let’s go bitches.”

    I enjoyed the comment made at the market last weekend, looking at my cards and choosing. I think this one… with it’s “generalized butterfly goodness”.

    Have a great Friday, Lovelies; with plenty of Generalized Lifey Goodness!

    Coincidentally, Pascal

    By Tangerine Meg | January 30, 2010

    Greetings emboldened golden bold souls,

    Earlier I scrawled a reminder to myself to buy petrol – I was waiting for a traffic light to change to green at the time. This is it:

    petrol_.loved_squiggleI threw it down on the passenger seat next to me in the car and the note floated down and rotated enough to give me this wonderful hidden bonus reminder:

    loved_petrol_squiggle“loved” it looks like to me…

    I am choosing to take it as a lovely coincidental message, perhaps from a greater power, via my subconscious. I am loved! So are you! Remember! :)

    My husband thought it looked like it said Pascal :D What do you think?

    See you next time,
    Meg
