Ocean Art
When you think of a beautiful Blue Ocean what would be impossible but still beautiful to see?

I am doing an art project and it needs to be real objects put together in an unrealistic fashion that doesn't fit. It is called surrealism. The background I have chosen is a blue ocean with a moon over the center. but I am going to take a blue eye and glue it over the moon. This is a collage, any ideas please help me anything goes. Get creative!

how about a bus as a whale or some motorcycles jumping out of the water like dolphins

The Art Deco Movement

Art Deco flourished internationally in the inter-war years; predominantly in architecture but it also influenced the fine and applied arts. Art Deco was a modernisation of many artistic styles and themes from the past; it began as the Modernist follow-up style on Art Nouveau but was much more simplified and closer to mass production. The 1920’s marked a progressive era in America; an era of prosperity, promise and modernity - this bold era required bold ideas. Early Art Deco buildings were defined with earlier neo-classical styles onto which were applied exotic motifs such as flora and fauna, fountains and chevrons arranged in geometric patterns. Society was reacting against the rigid austerity that the First World War had enforced, people now demanded opulence, lavishness and profligacy and Art Deco gave it to them. Symbols of a brave new era - the Golden Gate Bridge, cinema theatres, train stations, ocean liners, the Barclay-Vesey building - all were draped in Art Deco. Novel materials such as aluminium and stainless steel were in vogue and were applied in sweeping curves, chevron patterns and sunburst motifs. Streamline Moderne was a parallel movement which was influenced by modern aerodynamic designs which were emerging from advancing technologies in aviation and ballistics. Art Deco adopted some of these designs, applying stream-lining technologies to every day objects such as automobiles and refrigerators. Art Deco began to fall out of favour when it became ubiquitous and was derided as gaudy and presenting a lame image of luxury. Some of the finest surviving examples of Art Deco architecture are to be found in Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay and in some parts of America such as Florida; Tulsa, Okalahoma and Houston, Texas. Other unique areas include Napier, New Zealand where the whole town was re-built in Art Deco style after an earthquake devastated the town in 1931 and Asmara, Eritrea, where the Italians built many buildings in Art Deco style during their colonial reign.

I'm ready to confess some of my personal sins with my "Stuff." I never thought a Jewish girl like me would be in a confessional, but then again I never thought a Jewish girl like me would be a Feng Shui Master either.

A few years ago, I made a transformational journey to Bali, Indonesia to study Space Clearing with Karen Kingston the clutter and space clearing expert.

Even before my trip, I began to slowly release some of the "stuff" that had been bogging down my consciousness and life.

Karen's philosophy is that everything has energy in it and even if you can't see it -on some level it's either depleting or giving you positive energy. For example, things you hold onto out of fear, worry, concern, lack or guilt would be considered energy drainers, but things you keep around you because they make a positive impression on your life would be considered energy enhancers-not in her exact words, but this is the way I have interpreted it and teach it to my students.

One of the things I always encourage myself and my clients to release is ex-memorabilia-especially if it's from a relationship that is toxic-but really any relationship that has your thoughts and feelings in a holding pattern. If you're life is filled with stuff from memory lane, then it's really challenging to live fully in the present and receive the newness this moment has to offer you. Especially a new partner!

Let the truth be told!

Up until those weeks before my trip, I had been holding onto a box of "stuff" from a very brief, but blistering relationship. Actually that's not completely accurate. Technically speaking the "stuff" wasn't in my house. I had to give the stuff to a friend to hold at her apartment, so I wouldn't be tempted to look at it every 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days, 3 hours, 3 minutes, 3 seconds.

The box sat in her apartment and although I never saw it, I was still connected to it. The very fact that I couldn't have it around says that it still brought up old feelings that were unprocessed. A part of my denial was the story I told myself about the stuff. After all it was Art, music and poetry and I felt it was disrespectful to throw it away. I had huge plans to do something creative with it. Like write a script or make a collage out of it.

The idea that I would make transmute it into art was the first red flag and what I call holding onto unfinished business for a someday one day that most likely never comes. Clearly I use myself as the guinea pig for my theories. I was never going to make art out of it and was just holding onto it (and let's be honest folks), because I wasn't over the guy, no matter how unhealthy the relationship had been.

It was not until a week before I left to Bali and caught the momentum of the deep clearing work I was about to partake in when I finally mustered the courage and with the support of my dear friend took the package and threw it in the ocean.

It wasn't that easy and not just because I feared a group of environmentalists would catch me and give me a ticket for polluting the ocean, but because the package came sailing right back to my feet both times I tossed it into the rolling waves.

Out of frustration and desperation, I tore apart the package and ripped each page into tiny pieces and blessed it. I thanked the man whose words were now bleeding threw the pages. I thanked him for opening me, for gifting me with his love and once again released it/him into the ocean. I released the jewels and all the bling he gave me too. I kept blessing and releasing until all that was left was the fruit printed wall paper packaging I had used to keep all those pages and gifts together in one bundle.

It was then when I, or should I say my dear friend made the startling realization that part of the reason, I hadn't manifested a new lover was quite simply because this man had stock in my yoni!

For all who don't know that word yet, a yoni is a woman's vagina.

Yes, out of sight was not out of mind, or out of my energy grid. I was still connected to him on many levels through these romantic offerings he had given me, but not anymore. I took back my energy through the release. I thought it would be much more devastated by the loss of the art, but I realize that I gained much more. I transmuted the gift through the cleansing waters of the ocean. The part of myself I had given away was mine again.
