STRICTLY SPEAKING

I woke up this morning to check on Etsy's  front page, and there, staring back at me was work by Brandi Strickland.  So...over to her shop I go...and she's quite prolific. Personally, I really enjoy her collage work the most. I love how just a few simple elements tacked to a piece of paper tell the beginnings of a story.

There's a game you can play...in 6 words....tell an entire story. When asked to do this, Ernest Hemingway thought for a while and said "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn." It's morose, I know. But, then again, you could imagine that the baby grew wings and never needed to walk like the rest of us. Or, that he simply refused to put on his shoes. Either way, short stories get me thinking.

You can also find more of Brandi here at her own website.
