At the edge of the garden, let the dream begin . . .
Wkipedia
defines a daydream as a visionary fantasy, one of happy,
pleasant thoughts, hopes or ambitions, imagined as coming to pass and
experienced while awake. Daydreaming can also be a reference to future planning
or a review of past memories.
While daydreaming has long been considered a lazy,
non-productive pastime, daydreaming can also be constructive and productive.
There are many examples of people in creative, artistic careers, such as artists,
composers, novelists and filmmakers, who will often utilize day dreaming to
develop new ideas.
This
whimsical assemblage is housed in a sewing machine
drawer that has been lined in green tissues, mirrors and magazine
images. A
porcelain doll head, a music box and a protractor reflected on mirrors
add to
the story. The word DREAM is spelled out in Boggle letter dice. The
glass lidded box is dotted on the outside with acrylic
paints (nail polish). On the back I have attached a beautiful brass
calendar, and a vintage bingo card. The music box plays the tune "Somewhere My Love".
A life without dreams is like a garden without flowers.
