Description [an absolute MUST see full; and even download for important detail.]






"she was shaken and plagued by doubt."

"seems so long ago, but i can still remember."

"i want to show everybody.
she looked youthful, but there was a determined look in her eye.
this is a fight. it's a war.
stumbled.
It was as if someone had taken over my body.
I've thrown her away.
She doesn't live anymore.
"




Cataclysm (kāt'ə-klĭz'əm) (n.):: A violent upheaval that causes great destruction or brings about a fundamental change !!



___________________

She doesn't look, she doesn't see
Opens up for nobody
Figures out, she figures out:

Narrow line, she can't decide--
Everything short of suicide
Never hurts, nearly works...
Something is scratching its way out!
Something you want to forget about!! ..

A part of you that'll never show;
You're the only one that'll ever know.
Take it back when it all began
Take your time; would you understand
What it's all about..?
Something is scratching its way out
Something you want to forget about!! ..



.......no one expects you to get up--
all on your own, with no one around...

awws,
i'm glad it makes you think of my room though.

it still is blowing my mind away that you've looked at all these today.
i'm like beside myself that you're devouring more and more of me without me saying "hey look!!.." and making you.
it's unheard of.

I always wanted to, i was just confused by DA and stayed away because i hate learning to navigate a new website. But i think i've got the hang of it and baby, it's been alot of good times. - does it work like that? I dunno.
Anyway, i love you bunches. So much. And i'm really really really interested in all your artwork and writing..it makes me feel closer to you. Sorry it took me this long to get around to learning the lay of the land of DA.

hahaha, don't apologize;
i completely understand .. there are MILLIONS of sites i refuse to go to because i don't feel like learning a new one.
but i'm infinitely glad viewing this work means something to you.

oh goodness, thank you so so much.
you know how you can have a personal favourite of your OWN work, and yet no one else seems to feel the same?? ...this is oddly MY favourite that i've done, and i have it above my bed -- you can imagine my elation to hear someone else feels the same! thank you so much!

this is probably my favorite collage that you did. like you i love collages. i collage EVERYTHING. i collaged my lamp shade, huge posters, my wall, all my binders. for my materials i use poetry, lyrics, magazine pictures, my photography, pics from deviantart and a label maker.


pure amazingness!

Words can't really describe what I feel about this.... it's just.... it's really one of your greatest collage type ideas youve ever had... definetly my favorite. Your blending... the 3 duplicate images fading away..... everything. Amazing work, girl.

carvingbackbone In reply to saviorsoul [2008-03-02 20:03:22 +0000 UTC]

ah, thank you times a million!!
i'm always so so glad when you like something i've done, because i remember you being the one to encourage me to post more of my raw art, and it's harder when they're all so personal, but seeing that they speak to others and is appreciated makes it worth it i have so much more i could post but am still working on the courage to put it out there -- buuut, i'm so happy to know you liked this! there were so many raw pieces i put up when you were gone that in the back of my mind wonder what you'd think just because your appreciation for this kind of art is so much different than most who come by my gallerie thaaaank you!

It really makes me happy when people actually use what they have to spread good things...

There's nothing more shameful than a wasted talent.
And although I haven't been online in awhile, I feel like I should have gotten back on sooner.

There are so many drawings, paintings, pictures, words that I would like to share... it's going to take me awhile to upload it all.... it's kind of backed up in the system if you will

Oh-Noes!! Have to get to work...

...oklatergbye

ah, i totally totally agree and understand all you just said.
nothing more shameful than wasted talented, well-said as usual

annnd, i also totally relate to having so much to post but the ungodly amount of time it takes to do that ahh, it's deadening and overwhelming; but know i'll be wicked excited to see what you've been up to whenever time permits you to get some posted if you do
