I have a new perspective on an earlier post titled It's Time.
In recalling my childhood memories of Saturday nights, I realize
my freshly shampooed head was totally covered with little pin curl snails!!!!

So now I'm thinking the world is full of spirals!
In fact, many blog reading folks have mentioned "snail" sightings.
Perhaps you have noticed the same?

DH discovered a snail residing in a cinnamon roll.
JB saw one curled up on the end of a rolled exercise mat!


Perhaps they are a basic and essential design element in nature and physics that I have simply overlooked . . .  taken for granted.

'Something  new    to    s l o w l y     explore! 

Q: Can you ever learn enough???
A: Not if you LoVe learning!!!!!!!!!!

As for this day 
I will set aside the blog 
that I may finish preparing for my trip 
to New York City!

I will be attending the amazing 
Art Educators National Conference 
with my friend and colleague, SS!

Even Peter Max will be there!

NOTE:  The truth be known, my phone contains the following list for my thinking, imagining of snails to come:

36  Take something old and make it look new [this one is half done!]

38  Work underwater






39  Haiku!   [done . . . thanks CF]

40  Use yarn in some way

41 Think big create a large version that would normally be much smaller

42  Turn junk mail into something much more appealing

43  Learn something new ask a friend to help you do something using a technique or skill they are good at [perhaps that TP stuffed snail from earlier . . .  SS gave me some tips!]

44  Make something that lights up with electricity or a candle  [I want to do SO many things with this one . . .  I can't stop thinking of ideas . . . interesting!]

45  Use some kind of tape  and make it on a  nontraditional surface
extra credit: leave it for others to find

46  What can you do with a face?


I shall return!
Perhaps with a bit of an out east accent . . .

and 
most certainly with
new sights and sounds and smells 
in my head!!!!!
