FLY WITH ME
Welcome to Thoughts Become Words.com and the many words flying from my keyboard to blog to you.
I hope you can hang around!
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts” said Marcus Aurelius, a Roman emperor and philosopher.
So, please swing by my Current Posts (New Posts) category for a birds-eye view of my thoughts as they become seen, take wing in a flurry of words and flutter down onto the page in my AI-free zone.
Alternatively, you can strut through my Past Posts (Older Posts) with the most recent perched at the top of the list. For specific posts, I have a Search box. Also you will see I have three home page tags for About, Bio and Contact pages.
My blog posts are linked by Category/Tags, I have many different topics and opinions covering a range of subjects with individual blog post headings and my own photography where specified.
Flights of fancy and down-to-earth viewpoints are landing now … please read on …

Have you painted a plate? If so, you will know that the plate is initially a rough plain bisque colour. With a thick lead pencil I drew my design then coloured it in with a paintbrush using different colours. My plate is the one with the flowers. It dried easily and I wrote my name on the back of the plate so that when it is fired and glazed it will be easily identifiable. The event we attended was held in a pleasant, sunny room at Gallery Of Modern Art, Southbank Brisbane, and we learned some backstory before being lead through the whole process. I did not take a preconceived design but some plate-painters became very creative. When the ancient art of bisque firing and glazing is complete, we will collect our handiwork from Our Space Studio at Wilston which also has a coffee shop https://ourspacebrisbane.au/ So exciting!
