"Telephone" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Our Midweek Muse theme was "Telephone".

I created this using GIMP 2.10.38.

-----

Blue days, black nights
I look into the sky
The stars aren't going to see you through.
The little things you planned aren't coming true.
Telephone line, give me some time, I'm living in twilight.
I'll just sit tight, through the shadows of the night.
Let it ring for evermore.

-----

And the one holds all-seeing light for them on earth,
but the other holds in her arms Sleep the brother of Death,
even evil Night, wrapped in a vaporous cloud.

And there the children of dark Night
have their dwellings,
Sleep and Death, awful gods.
The glowing Sun
never looks upon them with his beams,
neither as he goes up into heaven,
nor as he comes down from heaven.

The Theogony

"Magic Keys Book" - Postcard

© All Rights Reserved
(Click on image to enlarge)

This week's Sunday Postcard Art theme was "Keys".

I went to the beat of my own drummer on this. One thing led to another, and I used two keys as metal hardware hinges for a book. A third key is the "magic key" on the cover. The background had a honeycomb pattern, so I added a few bees to complete this piece.
