RN Portfolio #3: Elements
First picture...This is my favorite Christmas tablecloth....not because it’s exquisite in any way, not because it was expensive or made from any fine materials....because it was my mom’s. (That’s her cat that I inherited upon her transition to the next leg of her journey). My beautiful tablecloth represents a clear use of lines. Being that I am neurotically trying to keep my house ‘straight’ (not clean...just straight), this tablecloth appeals to me. Unfortunately, because of it’s linear boldness, I also focus on when it is ‘off’...by about a millimeter. Thankfully, I have Lillie (cat) to challenge me on my knowledge and appreciation of lines.
This is my truck. She and I met in June. I love her because she is bold...she is fierce and fast. Her dark color indicates that she is somewhat of a bad-ass (and she is). The dark tint on her windows lends to a sense of mystery. She is large in stature, with clear lines enveloping her passengers and her motor. She is no nonsense. She’s perfect. Her shiny chrome wheels and grill lend to the idea that she is built to sustain the elements. Her ‘hard exterior’ is complimented by a luxurious interior, which is a welcome contraindication. I may seem a bit obsessed...but the love for my truck is secondary to my love of writing. :)
This is my favorite piece of jewelry. Ironically, my husband bought it on a whim for no particular reason. This piece makes sense to me...It’s color, regal in nature, indicates enduring strength. The garnet itself, is cut in a way that light reflects so beautifully, while indicating a clear pattern. It is a style of yesteryear, I think, which I have always found endearing about it. It’s easy to imagine that my ancestors might have owned a very similar piece. I find it calming, bold, timeless and versatile.
