'Chicago, Chicago, heeeeeeeeeeere I am'. Frank Sinatra was singing that, not me so there's no need to cover your ears.
Two more cards from Chicago arrived this morning plus one from Phillipa which my son has co-opted & won't give back. Don't worry Phillipa - I'll divert him by mentioning Star Wars & then I'll be able to remove it from his grasp. ( BTW, do I keep spelling your name wrong? I'm so sorry if I am - I will correct my mistakes immediately.)
Could anyone tell me is there is such a thing as 'Blog Art'. Thanks to all of you, my belief is that this blog qualifies. What do you think?

- the art of curiosity
- After producing a brood of a son & two daughters and having decided to turn my back on academe & tax law, once my babes were past the nappy stage, I decided to teach myself the craft of jewellery design. My brood had taught me to be a mother & I’ve always spent as much time I can drawing, making marks & designing, so I reasoned that my brain was possibly still open to new ideas. But WOW! Little did I realise that a whole new environment was there to be explored - the world of Wearable Art & all its satellite moons. So, some five years ago, thus began my pursuit of ‘the art of curiosity…‘ Being creative is an essential part of life for me. I’ve suffered from depression since the age of 16 - indeed I'm a diagnosed bipolar babe - and in my opinion, creative expression is as important in helping my condition as all my meds & any other therapies I have tried. Keeping a creative journal for example, helps me to understand myself & my bipolarity. The act of making marks channels stress into meaning. A sense of humour helps me too - there’s a large seam of irony in my being and Dorothy Parker is Queen!

I think you have the concept of Blog Art, which must include your devotion to the Ovarian Cancer Action Group, and your consequent inspirational actions, which have incited so many people around the world to take part in this as a collective force, down to a T.
What constitutes Blog Art?:
1) an idea
2) a number of people who participate in an artistic manner, later to be altered in some form by you into a united creation
3) and a force greater than those people to cause them to cleave together, to do a good thing.
just my thought.
