yay, I'm strong !!

no seriously, i'm so glad to hear that!

but i find a lot of difference in style between the first ones and those.. is it the support(notebook and cards), the size the much more resources i have...or is it the mood.

already in photography i had those huge differences in styles, i wonder why ..

I see the same stylistic elements throughout, even in the first works. Something to do with your use of scale. And tilts--things come in from precarious angles. Your color pallette is fairly distinctive, too. These are all underlying things, but I find them more often than not, in spite of the content you are expressing, and that is what I mean by style.

i guess i'm too close to see (also)

glad you took the time to point out those things, i never thought about them.

i love this - the textures, the eyelashes, the wonderful text. and it's an ATC - i see the corners - really nice.

i'm still thinking about the text of it, all it implies or suggests... but have to hit send.

i just wanted to experiment really..
and the words are so relevant, for me.

it's a grand success for an experiment...

the words are relevant to many - i've been thinking about this piece all morning while i did things away from dA. this is a visual poem. the lighter background of the vertical words compared to "come close", echoing the meaning of the descending words - the lashes visually echoing the fabric threads - the layers of meaning in the text - physically we draw people close in hugs and they may be too close to be understood (talking to our necks) which is not a bad thing, but then there are all the metaphors here - people in a closeness which keeps them from really listening to each other or hearing each other - there is even something to be said about the unraveling of the fabric.

i could go on, enough for now! Isabelle summed it up.

yes, you interpret perfectly the words.

I had in mind a third meaning, where too much intimacy is sometimes too difficult to hear. so one stops listening and closes his ears and heart.

i just made this word pairing some time ago and kept it aside, until i made the right collage for it.

thank you dear, makes me proud to hear that

that third meaning is a very true one.

and you are most welcome - this is remarkable work that i am enjoying so much. ah, those are too prosaic words for it - let them do for now though
