Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s word is “Fog” which immediately made me think of the movie “The Fog.” I first watched The Fog thinking it was the movie that inspired the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror V in which a fog made their bodies turn inside out, so I was surprised that the movie was aboutContinue reading “#Writober Day 7: Courage to Persevere Through the Fog”

#Writober Day 6: Surrendering Zombie Guilt
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Zombie. In a way, my filter shapes are like zombies eating my brain and mindlessly replicating (on every glint of light). Not having a clear idea for today’s photo-shoot, I did some research and found some interesting online resources I thought I’d share: PBS did a series calledContinue reading “#Writober Day 6: Surrendering Zombie Guilt”

#Writober Day 4: Trying New Tricks
Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge Today’s prompt is Trick. So what new trick do I want to try today? Yesterday’s ideas of wisdom being connections of ideas inspired me to try sewing, typing with an old typewriter, and writing on transparencies. Then I thought about all the fun I had with inkblots, and tried making inkblotsContinue reading “#Writober Day 4: Trying New Tricks”
#Writober Day 3: Naive Skeletal Wisdom
Contradictory Abstract Nouns This week I am exploring the naivete in wisdom and the wisdom in naivete. Yesterday, while reading The Senses: Design Beyond Vision edited by Ellen Lipton and Andrea Lipps, I read, “Sensory design activates touch, sound, smell, taste, and the wisdom of the body.” That really opened up this week’s study forContinue reading “#Writober Day 3: Naive Skeletal Wisdom”
#Writober Day 2: Feelin’ a little batty
R. I. P. XVII Readers Imbibing Peril Peril of the listen! This morning I finished listening to Dante’s Inferno. I think Clive Barker was heavily influenced by this work while making Hellraiser.

October 29: Exploring the Tracks #OctPoWriMo #Writober
Today’s prompt inspired a new bokeh filter and photography project. I used wire and tape to create “tracks” on a square-cut bokeh filter. Then I put lights over paintings in my office to put those tracks into and through spaces where no tracks had been before.
