Tossing and turning, creative unrest. . .
‘the simple adventures of everyday life’ is a collection of creative thoughts and ideas that have kept me up at night. Included, are Original Hand-Made Wedding Invitations, cards, photographs, poetry and short stories.
My Dad was an extremely creative man, an artist, who lost many a nights sleep because of planning and building in his head….I’ve found that I’m exactly the same way. On many occasions, as I tried in vain to fall asleep, I had to get up and write down an idea…or perhaps a line of poetry, that if I indeed eventually would drift off, I was sure to forget by morning.
I have always loved weddings! My obsession has taken me to some wonderful collections (vintage wedding photos & wedding cake toppers, and maybe a few vintage wedding gowns....but that's another story). . .and recently, to designing custom wedding invitations under the name 'CaroleKancarDesignStudio'.
Aside from glass, the beach in winter has many other offerings.....namely beach debris. These washed up 'artifacts', if you will, make for great photographs. It's so much fun to wander the snow and ice covered beach in search of interesting finds. Even the ice formations can be amazingly beautiful....like crystals, slowly melting and dripping back into the lake water. Driftwood is strewn everywhere, and walking on it can be a challenge. I can find beauty and a photo in just about anything, as my many photos of old tires can attest to. Even the carcasses of dead animals that have washed up on the shore after nature, with it's winter brutality, has had it's way with them, and although rather gruesome, can be interesting subjects to photograph. What's truly great though, is being able to enjoy the beach no matter what season it is...and each season has it's own individual personality.
