Self portrait. Again.

I’ll keep on diving til I reach the ends,
Dredging up the past to drive me round the bends,
What is it in me that I can’t forget
I keep finding so much that I now regret.
But no, on I go down into the depths
Turning things over that are better left
Dredging up the past that has gone for good
Trying to polish up what is rotting wood.

Something inside takes me down again
Diving not for goblets but tin cans
Dredging up the past for reasons so rife
Passing bits of wrecks that once passed for life.

But I’ll keep on diving till I drown the sea,
Of things not worth, even mentioning
Perhaps I’ll come to the surface and come to my senses
But it’s a very deep sea around my own devices.

Diving, diving.


Booyah.

Wow, I bought this as a print 3 years ago and based the decor on the top floor of my house based on this picture. Sits on the wall in my bedroom, I love it a lot, very strange seeing it here, reminds me that it came from this site

well, i'd not do the jazzy background, on account of i'd not do it justice, but i'd cut out the body and hair from delustered satin and velvet respectively, (i work in a fabric store) and applique it onto other fabric. for my quilt/doona for my bed. i'll show you a picture when it's done (although it'd take a while) um, also, i didn't say before how fantastic this is. it is visually delicious.

That's so cool! I'd be interested to see how it turns out, I'd never figured anything I drew could translate into fabric! If you do decide to go ahead, you have to show me <3 :D
