This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Black Rabbit / Dark Rabbit".

Awhile ago, I found this scary looking Rabbit image, so he seemed perfect for this. Then I let my muse take over, and added a few weird additions to him, plus other images in the foreground.

"Black Birdcage" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved

(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Black Birdcage".

I've had artist's block, so I haven't been able to create anything for these challenges for awhile. I am hoping that my dry spell has ended, and my creativity has returned, because I especially like dark themes.

I didn't have many birdcage images, so I did a search for the type I imagined for this theme. I wanted one that was only the round type, but this image was the closest to that, that I could find. The round part was like a bay window in this house shaped birdcage. I also found this beautiful bird, and decided to use it for this.

I took those photographs of the full moon early evening last night. I slept through the Blood Moon, which happened around 2:30 AM my local time, so I didn't get to see it. (Note that in my close up photo of the moon, the shadows on it are branches in the foreground.)

This week's My Soul's Dark Imagination theme was "Blood Moon".

I've had artist's block, so I haven't been able to create anything for these challenges until recently. Then I was too late for the Little Red Riding Hood challenge, when I finally was able to make something for it. But I reused the moon and wolf for this piece.

The Book of Days 2025

This is a place holder for my Book of Days for 2025. When something that was meant to be fun becomes work instead, it is time to stop doing it. I made a title page and accordion pockets, but I don't know whether or not I'll post photos of them.

My only rules for myself are Keep It Simple (KIS) and Have Fun.

The challenge involves using a weekly planner. I purchased a spiral Blue Sky 5" x 8" Weekly & Monthly Planner January to December 2025.

The spiral style already had monthly divider tabs, so that saved me a step.

The weekly challenge themes are listed below, and I will add links to my entries as I create them. My weeks start on Monday. This blog entry will serve as my master index to them.
