Love the artifacts from Ur....when my boys were young, we had a board game form Ur, but we could never really understand how to play it well to make it a good game.

I find it fascinating the way 'the ancient' sneaks up and grabs me at times. <br />I was so excited to find last week, in a book I have been working with a while, images of fossilised seeds found in Tasmania and dating back to possibly 30 million years ago. Riveting to read about and see what was discovered not so long ago that has an intact form.... small... but still intact.<br />Thank you for your thoughts on this tangent that was inspired by your first comment to add yesterday... and for your warm message!<br />SSophie Munnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797068983613314554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-67998421472281690332010-04-07T12:37:39.550+10:002010-04-07T12:37:39.550+10:00Sophie, I am so impressed with this beautiful conn...Sophie, I am so impressed with this beautiful connection you have with the ancient artifacts and your ongoing vision of seeds. I believe we are all lovingly connected to the/our past and in our own perfect way. Where one artist feels strongly about ancient Chinese art, another has passion for ancient Egyptian. As artists, I believe we just don't know all the reasons for our connections and that we need to just trust and continue in our own art making, being surprised by the pull of the ancient in our work. Again best to you in your show!Blue Sky Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405128176114875597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3778349612469580118.post-75894862267480190242010-04-07T10:34:40.526+10:002010-04-07T10:34:40.526+10:00Mlle Paradis,
