Sacred Surf: 198/365

A friend suggested I change the SG365 slogan to, "I broke another globe."  I think she may be right, but this time it wasn't my fault.  I took Julia's advice and made my own "sacred creative space" complete with a desk, computer, The Artist's Way, my journal, and three snow globes.

Apparently, the way I displayed the globes was too irresistible for my five-year-old to crash them into each other.  Of course it couldn't have been the Christmas tree globe I have duplicates of.  The upside to all of these broken snow globes is that I have an interesting collection.  Some people may collect shot glasses, spoons, or even whole snow globes, but my collection doesn't just sit on a shelf.  It interacts with someone daily, and sometimes the risk is that it breaks.  I bet the snow globe even agrees that it's quality of life is improved by my project, even if it has to act as a prop for a crime scene or be part of weird, Barbie head, broken toy display.

Belle Isle: 178/365

Heather noticed that this looked like a snow globe.  I was grateful since the large thermos of water I brought crushed my portable globe.

The James River

The broken globe.  I think this is number six or seven.

Devastation: 143/365

My favorite globe broke.  The actual globe was bigger than any of my others, had amazing reflective qualities, and worse yet, it wasn't mine.  I was playing with the reflection of the mini pine cones and it rolled over a rock that made it literally "pop"!  I sat there in shock as the water poured out. It smelled like rubbing alcohol and trouble.  I broke the news to my friend, Traci, who didn't seem too mad, but I was both mad and sad.  Thanks, Traci for sacrificing your globe for my project.  I love you and this globe, and refuse to stop using it.  For anyone counting this is #6.

Two Sides: 139/365

Tonight I was inspired by the film, Black Swan and the roles of duality in our own lives.  What did you think of the film?  I really liked it, but I'm a fan of the dark and psychologically twisted;)
