Clouds and Joni

Clouds and Joni

This card was started with one of Teesha Moore's "house" stamps. I stamped with Ranger Archival Ink (Sepia). I embellished the card using watercolor pencils, gel pens and metallic markers (office max), and also Crayola Glitter Glue. You can see more of Teesha's unique stamps at http://www.teeshaslandofodd.com/php/sunshop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=7


As I worked on this card it reminded me of day dreaming. When the face at the top of the house started to look like Joni Mitchell, and clouds began floating around the house I thought of the song that I've always called "Clouds" but is actually called "Both Sides Now". It's about finding images in clouds, and the illusions and the mysteries in life. Also about dreams that never get acted on. "So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way". I went to Youtube and found a version of Both Sides Now with Joni singing and the lyrics. Melancholy. Wonderful.
