"suspend disbelief" This is the key! return to childhood and draw and paint and create, believing that anything is possible. (I think Picasso tried, right? You opened my eyes Highjumper!!!!!!!! thanks :)
That is exactly it! I love it when people reclaim neglected, rundown spaces & breathe new life into them.
Creativity, tenacity, & belief enable some people to achieve great transformations; unimaginable to others. Sorry if I am too wordy (and only write in English), but I know you have a facility with words, and so probably don't mind.
This is my posting for this week's Illustration Friday theme, Imagination. In many cultures, the raven was a symbol of communication with the imagination, and subconcious. It was also viewed as sometimes being a mischievous trickster. At times the sun will strike its feathers at the right angle, and reveal an iridescent band of colour.
This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.
I really like your take on the theme...wonderous!
