PURGE

I feel I need to purge toxic balls of words that come at me now and then. I delete those words a lot, but they come at me again and again. So, I am taking those words, and adding my own in All CAPS AND BOLD. Right Here, Right Now. I feel it may help me purge the word cancer that lives inside me.

The written word sent quickly.

Filled with emotion.

So easy to slap down words with your thumbs, or index finger like I do.

Some bring joy, laughter, love

Some don’t.

I’m placing these photographs to hopefully convey beautiful chaos, lovely negativity, awesome anger, and general all around pretty pettiness that happens in life. Although the photos are my own, they may be of other people’s work.

What is below the layers?

Just last night I plunged backward into the sea 7 times to help remove negativity. But yet, negativity keeps on coming. Last night I figured it out, you cannot plunge negativity away, but you may be able to purge it.

I wrote the words. They are out.

I turned my words into art, Word Art.
And if only we could all accept. (Art in an exhibit at the PR Contemporary Art Museum)
For you to see, but for me only to know. It’s my own rainbow to bare.
So many layers.
So many Complications
It Runs Deep (Toxic pollution in a sidewalk crack)
Let it blur so much it becomes invisible.
Not locking it up nor holding it inside anymore.

If I could throw up emotions, feelings, words, and even memories…I would be sticking a toothbrush down my throat right now. But I can’t, so this is my way of purging them all. I call it art. Some art isn’t pretty. Truth isn’t either.

Thank you for visiting my darker than normal Gnome Little World.

I have to admit, I AM a Serial Creator.

In my past, I have killed off many mediums, and then moved on to the next!

Sometimes bringing back old haunts because…you know…they always return to the scene of the crime!

Here is The Life Cycle of This Serial Creator.

Pre-High School: Anything the Art Teacher Would Make Me Do!

From My History of Creating

6th Grade: Block Print (Did the carving, water colors and printing!)

High School: Writing Poetry & Photography

From My History of Creating

10th Grade:  For Photography Class!

From My History of Creating

12th Grade:  My Nationwide Winning Photo for the “Year of the Disabled” Photo Contest.

I worked with this girl at McDonald’s…she was a friend that was born with just part her arm.  I still admire her!

College: Photography & Writing “Witty” Letters to the Editor of the School Paper.

From My History of Creating

A couple of my letters to the Radford University Newspaper’s Editor.  I was so sassy!

I wish I could still write that neat!

20’s: Making Greeting Cards (When the Name “My Own Little World” was created), & Rock Jewelry.

From My History of Creating

One of a series of the “Hill” themed birthday cards. The only sample of them that I have left…because I actually gave them to people after making them! I have a person in mind for this particular “Vintage” card of mine.

From Safety Pins & Pendants

My Rock Jewelry. I actually still wear these! Timeless Beauty!

30’s: Writing Children’s Stories, Making Greeting cards, & Creating Small Odd Gifties.

From My History of Creating

Bookmarks that I thought were awesome…not so much now.

You should have seen the ugly Christmas Ornaments I made in the same design!

Ack!

Sorry friends and family for that “creative” period of mine!

But I still love the below creative flow!

From My History of Creating

A variety of my Christmas Cards!

There is The “Gangsta’ Santa” one , The “Safe Sex Christmas Tree” one (It says “Keep Your Christmas Bright…Wrap It Tight”), The “Reindeer Got Ran Over by a Grandma” One, and of course, The “Dancing On Top Of Santa” one!          Good times!

Now, my one and only published piece!  And mind you, I got paid for it too!

Okay, I wrote on the internet too, but in the writing world, it is just not the same!

From The Books I Made

Although, I just made these actual books, I wrote the stories in my early 40’s for a Children’s Clothing Line…that never went into the book business. But they said they liked them, they really did! Now, they are just for my 7-year-old twin nieces!

Mid 40’s: Blog Writing, Photography & Videography.

Examples of this are all wrapped up neatly in “Vintage” HenderBalz Blog Posts!

I attack with gusto, even to the point of trying to sell my work, and then I give up…whether I have done well or not.

MAY I NEVER GIVE UP AGAIN…MY OWN LITTLE WORLD SHALL GROW!
