Illuminations....

Light Bulb moment...
How about a watercolors and salt background....?

Choose a pretty stencil/mask....
(This one's by Prima and comes in a set of 5)

"Frost" with Light Molding Paste...
I used Golden..
I have a sweet little sampler kit of gels, etc that I got at "Michaels" (clip your coupons ladies!)







Get Lost in your stash of newly "acquired" Italian ephemera....add paints, inks.... always music....
Locate that lonely photo you have of an Orvieto street Lamp with beautifully scrolled metal work...vigilantly illuminating the textured architecture....cobblestone street...and strolling wanderers traveling with their shadows....

Print on transparency - flip image - add stamped text (STAZ-ON ink) and sew to train ticket...then to background paper using that gorgeous colored thread you just bought in the USA ...and don't sweat over the "wonkiness"(think "charm") of your stitches...

Sneeze, cough, blow your nose and wonder why the amount of vitamins you choke down daily that you shop for at "The Beautiful People" market (Whole Foods) and pay a ridiculous amount of money for have allowed this cold to flourish in your body...when your travel companion pal - who does not partake of such nonsense - is perfectly fine....

Focus...get back on track please and consult your trusty old book scarfed years ago from an Ohio barn for words that express your "illuminations" (1.  to supply with light.  2.  to enlighten.  3.  to clarify)  in Orvieto....

Do NOT get caught up in the "trusty old book" story while searching for words...about your experience in Orvieto...

Wistfully stare into space reminiscing about your adventure...the village, the culture, the ambiance, the food, the wine, the CHEESE - consider a travel journal page on cheese...realize you haven't eaten...

Feel Blessed...Illuminated...Inspired...

Turn off the computer and Go Live (vivere), Appreciate (apprezzare) and search for pecorino!
