Well done you! :)<BR/>I would love to have some of your work, but I, too, was daunted by the prospect of having to find/make 5 items to give away, especially as I am already behind with one meme! <BR/>This was a fascinating post, Thanks so much.

You are one of the five! I write about synchronicities because it makes me more aware of them too.<BR/><BR/>Steve - thanks - my version of the 6 of trees is quite a lot like the original and is one I really like too. I like the idea of making some sculptures like them - really I see them as huge but I suppose given the space I've got macquettes or scaled down pieces would be more manageable. <BR/><BR/>Anonymous - thanks for coming out of hiding! Sorry I exhausted you ;-)<BR/><BR/>Reluctant Nomad - glad you got the card funny that your card stripped off a sequin with so little encouragement.<BR/><BR/>Ian - I don't know that they are worthy pieces... I haven't dared look at them after what I did to them yesterday... <BR/><BR/>She is very serene - its because she looks at the world differently to others not caring whether anyone wants her pictures or not ;-) I used to live upside down when I was 11-14 - mostly headstands or handstands propped against a wall...

I knew what it was but decided not to open it until I got to Amsterdam later that evening. <BR/><BR/>What a beautiful card! Thank you very much!<BR/><BR/>As I opened it in my funny little garret overlooking a canal with a purple, blinking sign, 'Live Sex Show' not far beyond, one of the sequins fell off.

Independence from public opinion or pressure from others. Confidence in one's own values. It can also mean its time to surrender something especially a fondly held belief.<BR/><BR/>Nightmare images can be very powerful and are worth paying attention to I think - they are messages that may have got a bit blurred by your not consciousness having to shout to be heard!<BR/><BR/>That's adult nightmares - children's ones are more likely to be processing stuff from past lives... which is something I've only realised as I've become an adult and recalled some of my past lives... <BR/><BR/>And yes it looks like you might well end up with all 5!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635758748108011584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16297785.post-1166385131484826442006-12-17T19:52:00.000+00:002006-12-17T19:52:00.000+00:00What amazing synchronicities, Caroline!

Those kinds of things give me the shivers, and leave me wondering what EXACTLY the Universe is trying to tell me, since it seems so obvious that it's trying to tell me SOMETHING.<BR/> What is your interpretation (or that deck creator's interpretation) of the hanged woman card?<BR/>I like the tree woman avatar. I just had a strange dream last night about a tree that was carved into the shape of a dragon, and played like a flute when the wind blew...which sounds neat, but the dream ended strangely with animals fleeing down the street & more dramatic scenarios. All of which is beside the point, sorry to babble on your blog about my nightmares...<BR/>Did I really win all 5? Woo hoo! Don't worry - take your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
