Spiral Square Cross 2

If you can see the image enlarged, the spiral is in the front, winding up the old allium stalk. I took this picture for the spiraling morning glory, not realizing that there were squares and crosses in the windows in the background. The emerging theme in the past 3-4 weeks has been to look again and see what was unseen. The images present themselves without my effort. This reminds me there is unseen support presenting itself to me all the time, whether I notice it or not. Neat.

SpiralSquareCross Collage

I deconstructed some magazine images of crosses, squares, and spirals. Then I constructed this collage. Some of the symbols were invisible to me until I put it all together. I didn't believe I had found any crosses, but I see them now.

Today I deciced to photograph different elements of the garden since so much of my creativity goes into gardening. And looky-here! Three universal symbols were
waiting for me on the back steps.

20 Expressions in 20 Minutes

Just to get things going, the task was to draw each of the 5 universal symbols: a square, a circle, a triangle, a cross, and a spiral, and then chose the one you liked best at this particular moment.  This symbol would be your creative focus for the next 20 minutes or so while you gave it expression in whatever why you could think of.  Here’s our results:

LL created way more than 20 images of the cross symbol, plus bonus points for arranging them all in that shape!

 

EKO selected a spiral to explore out of the 5 universal shapes, and found some, drew others, and created more.

 

  SJD also worked with the spiral and came up with even more renditions of the symbol.

 

PC was drawn to the spiral symbol and brought forth some unique images of it as displayed here.

 

And yes, pao had chosen the spiral for her creative expression as well, and here’s her offering of spiraliousness!
