creating decorative verse in community

Singular Verse contains decorative verses in singular forms that I create. Typically, my books are made from found objects of which there is just one copy. Some of these books will be released into community in a hand to hand reading project, that recognizes the importance of face to face, tangible relationships. From person to person, book to person, person to book, then book to other, Singular Verse projects support relationships in a full circle that begins again with person to person connections. Some singular books will make their way to just one reader, maintaining the importance of the book as an art form.

Please check in from time to time to see what the next Single Offering might be.

Creativity - Blending in Beauty #3/8


Today I am remembering that creative cooking requires the witnessing of beauty. To start from calm and to be able to observe beauty, is to start simmering the creative force.  We only need to observe and then notice how our observation is reflected inside ourselves to develop the beautiful creative.
An amazing photographer took this picture of my cat considering a painting that her landscape architect husband had rendered. The photograph and oil painting are as beautiful to me as the actual world they reflect, now changed by these works into other art forms. This perpetuation of art is important, and a process I invite you to do, however it is that you do art. If you feel you don't do art, consider your gardening or your cooking or you humming or even your cleaning. Beauty grows from what the hand touches and the heart loves. See the beautiful Kiva photo below for helping beauty emerge in the world, and see ClaireRule.com and JeffreyRule.com for more beautiful works in photographic and fine art inspired by the natural world.
