Its mellow richness on the clustered trees …“—Longfellow.
My new friend Heather sings a song that make my spine tingle. I don't know why it's such a powerful song to me, but everytime I hear this particular song it causes the most lovely images to swirl up into my mind.
So I created an ATC inspired by her song "Beautiful Stillness" and I think there's more to come. Maybe it's the way I used to get lost in my own fantasy creations out in the woods as a child. Maybe it's because I most closely relate to nature and fairies and whimsical cloaks and medieval stories. I don't know. But it's an awesome song and I want to thank her for the inspiration.
It's mostly the chorus that runs through my head all day:
"I will sit beneath the trees
'til kudzu grows, over me
poison ivy circling round my head
an initiation crown"

I'm so happy my song inspired you! I love the resulting art! awesome awesome.
I love the girl and the tender sprig in her hand and her mischievous smile. A little of the artist herself, no doubt.
Hi! You commented on my blog (living-deliberately.com) and I had a happy feeling I knew who you were and I was right! Beautiful blogs you have! Enjoy East TN...until a few months ago I lived there too and miss it so much sometimes. Many blessings~ Tia
