Toy


This morning i wanted to draw your eyes, but i couldn't, i couldn't find the right color because they're too beautiful, i couldn't, i couldn't describe the shape, and so i drew them as constellations and am trapped inside i hope forever, i won't mind because they're too beautiful, too beautiful they make me cry.

140 runes of my wrist bones:

Hush child and behold the sleeping fish (the distances between atoms are intergalactic). We'll grow fins.

Ohhh dear Mita, your poetry and ilutration make me feel happy/sad.
I love that mixture of feelings

Be happy!! :)

Andrew Finnie said...

Haha Mita, you know you make me feel sick with envy and astonishment when I see your work. You really are something, I hope you know that. Cogs in a fish, constellations,

William Cook's poem is something too. You bring out good things in people

Hope you are well. :)

PS Lyra , Vega, so bright aye? Dragon Draco, the the little fox Vulpecula, Cygnus the swan. I learned something. Thanks :)

audrey said...

Mita, you know my love for fish or birds. How could I not love this? A snowglobe that encases the universe ~ perfection.
You are brilliant, my dear witch.

Hello!

Here I am for a short time, coming home from Bratislava, leaving for Elne, just have time to answer you and enjoy the beautiful fish in the bowl..
This is me: http://viltogvakkert.blogspot.com/2009/05/en-helt-spesiell-dag.html

Mary Sheehan Winn said...

and you have such a lovely way with imagery and words. Thank you for your visit!

Antonio Lorente said...

thank you very much!
The red cross is a metaphor for the feeling I try to put in my drawings.
Is to emphasize that they are made ​​with my heart ... hehehe
I find it interesting that you make me that question. Thanks for noticing!
Your artwork is wonderful, as always!
:)

Ann Marie DiVecchia said...

You are an inspiration!

art is jokken said...

I see a fish with one beautiful eye, (the other one is, hopefully, on the opposite side) and I see also a fish with big teeth of Hercule (or are those teeth of Dragon?)
toothed gears of the time (hurry!! time goes on)

I see Vega, the Messenger of Light", one of the most bright stars
and Cephee, which resemble a house with pitched roof
(you like to keep the beautiful eyes hidden, only for yourself ? )
and many many M's. Red M's. In the background. M of your name
and Lyre. Lyre refers to the work of a poet. And you are a true poet.

I had to use all my neurons to understand your work. (fake, not all of them)

I have to go feed my sheep...(not fake)

Did I mentioned your work is a brain teaser?
(but beautifully executed...)

Ilaria Benedetti said...

Little Devil, how's everything?
Love the illu and the constellations.
I have no energy these days, spring is killing me!

Shirley said...

OHHH, Mita! Gorgeous, gorgeous and beautiful again. Love your poetry and illustrations! I have missed my dear friend. Yes, it's been crazy busy for me recently..I truthfully need a break! But I'm so happy when friends come to visit..you've cheered my spring day. : ) Hope you are well and happy!! xoxo

Andrew Finnie said...

:)

Ted Blackman said...

You sound obsessed. I hope it lasts forever.

Why don't you give that snow-globe a good shaking? I want to watch the gears turn.

Ted Blackman said...

I didn't have a clue who the odd rabbit was till I clicked on your avatar. Ha ha. Thank you again for stopping by.
The one who called me bad is a good friend of mine who is also very funny and inspirational. My type.
I could never be truly bad, I've got too much of a conscience.

Alex said...

very nice work
a wonderful take on the topic

Andrew Finnie said...

Steve E said...

I wish I knew you--
(Not you, Mita)
Nor you, ?
But you--YOU

I'd like to 'talk'...
With you, yes YOU!
(Not you, Mita)
But YOU!

If the beginning
Of your word
Is the tenth,
Then I already know you
No, Mita...not you
But you, YOU

Steve E said...

Oh, hi Mita.

Tammie said...

C.P.Adorio said...

Ugh! How come I missed this? This is a toy for intellectuals. The rest of us will just be satisfied with a rubber ball or marbles. Goodness, Steve, is going on and on with his mental talk. My head is heavy...I am going to fall!


The words and lines are beautiful, Mita, darling. Tsup!

Hello! I had to go and clean the house the way humans do because my nose is broken and I cannot twitch it and get the house clean with one twitch!

laughingwolf said...

Absolutely stunning:) can't wait to see more of your work:)

pop pop portraits said...

another thing that makes me sigh!

Rick Forrestal said...

I love how you draw, how you express yourself. Your blog.

I'm glad you stopped by, saw some jungle pics. You have a huge following (as you should.) Thanks for your wit, your sarcasm. I'm glad it hasn't been "100 years."

I can't write in poetry, like everyone else. But I can talk with my camera. Maybe that's good enough.

You're fun!
Ciao.

Ana said...

This toy is beautiful, naked bunny.
I love it looks a bit mysterious...constellations seem to have hidden all their secrets inside your work.

maritaBliss said...

Your poetry is always so beautiful ♥ alongside your illustrations it's just astonishingly amazing.

Rita said...

How beautiful is what you draw, what you say, all you create. You are a living poem,
LoveLoveLove,

Deborah said...

Just the way you breathe is beauty...you breathe it in and breathe it out, pouring beauty onto paper...the very life of you. BIG love to you, little one, BIG love ♥♥♥ Deb

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...

Paula J. said...

as I always say, my words are too simple, I can put in words how much I adore your work.

Steve E said...

Mita, you (yes, YOU) asked me "..do you think.."
I would like to answer your question 'how I think' but it might now be suitable for publishing

I'd prefer to send by email if you have a 'g-mail' address, send me a blank email: fiddlemn@naples.net and I will answer you honestly and without BS.

Otherwise we will let it rest. I believe you know the answers before you ask the questions--grin!

Sorry for the serious sound of this comment--I do not like to be serious in public....

At any rate, all I can offer you here is a wish
for your PEACE!

holly and the wolves said...

I can never draw the people I love, or any part of them at all. I love the idea of drawing them as constellations instead :)
Thank you for your comment, lovely. You're a wonderful talent xx

Krystal said...

those words were too beautiful =) I hope you are doing well...and i like your avatar message, haha :) made me smile :)

De Wilde said...

You are now a white bunny?

Now i too see the scales in the eyes, beauty and love are the only reasons to draw.

Evangelina Prieto said...

Eres genial querida Lakhsmita, cada cosa que haces tiene tu sello. Una delicia de trabajo, como siempre.
Un abrazo grande.

Jack Foster said...

Even a constellation could not hold the beauty of your work Mita! This is so lovely. My eyes could not look away. I’ve been trying to comment, but I didn’t want to scroll away from the image! Finally after 6 days, I have the will power to tear my eyes from such beauty and leave a comment. I can’t make my comment to long however... I must return to the “toy”. Your work is so.... BYE!

Julie Hendriks said...

wow, your popular :) thanks for your comment! Nice work!

happy prince said...

Dear lady, I will never call you. Greetings from Happy Prince

Dear lady, it is possible you will receive a call again.

Ana said...

helloooo

De Wilde said...

You make me smile!

I hide behind a mask too, I will let you into a secret, I pretend to be an artist.

I am scared to stop practising.

De Wilde said...

I regret being naked, but I don't regret being honest.

Ana said...

the portrait picture?
I wish I could see the final painting, I can't find it :(

Ana said...

Now this graffiti made me feel a bit scared...

Saturnino said...

I don't know what to say.

Have you ever done something really stupid and when you realize what you did (always late) you just blush, like a little kid?

I feel so so so stupid, not for today, but for the last weeks. Maybe i don't deserve your warm friendship. I hope someday you can forgive me.

Kisses Mita Bonita.

Saturnino said...

I didn't have to do anything, it was a stupid thing to do.

And no, i really really expect a comment from you, i couldn't believe my eyes when i saw your comment, i blush when i read it, i swear.

Forgive my stupidity Mita, please.

I can say just one thing: i missed you a lot these days, you don't know much.

Loving someone is not stupid, love is not stupid. People are stupid (not everyone, certain people like me for example, but you are not stupid so don't say that ever again).

Saturnino said...

I still can't believe your first comment!!!!

You are full of surprises...

Signe said...

Lovely painting and lovely words :)

Hi Mita! Wonderful,this is very very beautiful congratulations!

Guto Respi said...

belíssimo!!

Miss Rosette Brune said...

oh, i love this...

rossichka said...

Again words and drawing merge into one another... You are trapped into your love, but be careful, because the bowl of feelings is fragile and could be broken any moment! Take care - your fish has big teeth, I see, so it can fight... for its love!:)
Let inspiration never leave you!!

Ana said...

Where's my bunny friend?
Did it disappear into the hole?
:(

Ted Blackman said...

Hey, do you remember Samantha's hot cousin Serena? She was sexy. Have people ever commented that you look like her a little? Yeah, I'll bet they have... probably a thousand million times, huh. Okay, I'll shut up now. Bye.

fine said...

visiting you is always like dreaming eyes open.
a kiss and a caress

Carina said...

Sorry it took so very long to take a look at your lovely blog, my internet has been so slow lately. You are such a talented writer! And this was such a beautiful piece...I find it hard to draw eyes.

xx Carina

Ana said...

I've been shouting inside the rabbit hole so you could hear...can you hear anything at all? Helloooooooo....
At 28, am I to childish for wanting this??

HOLA?

That fish is in a predicament indeed. Ah, but a beauty!

Ana said...

And I was feeling old. I'm happy now :)
Did you see the crazy cat pic?

Ana said...

I'm trying to play a Francoise Hardy's song. Ever heard of her?...anyway, it's 2:00 am here and I seriously believe I'm killing the poor song so I'll stop now...
And I'll stop spamming your blog too XD

Lovely...

Ana said...

you are only two years older than me, you are not old XD
You know I used to feel really old when I turned 21 because I wasn't in my teens anymore, now when I think about it I realize how silly I was so now I try not to think about the time passing by...

Ana said...

Francoise Hardy...she was a french icon of The French song during the sixties. I know about her mostly because we used to learn some french at school...but most of my knowledge has gone over the years and lack of practice. She sang some Gainsbourg's songs, my fav. french singer/composer...I know she still sings but I'm not sure if she 's doing collabs.
I leave you two songs. They are lovely :)

Ana said...

I didn't know about the blood obsession XD
I just love that movie because characters are cute but dark at the same time...I thought you might like it too. I told Andrew to look for that movie a while ago (don't know if he remembers about it haha) because one of his posts reminded me of it and it's always nice to see some other work that can work as inspiration.
Ok, you're in. I like Al Pacino in the first Godfather movie too XD...mostly because he reminds me a bit of Buster when he was young, the big puppy eyes ♥

Ana said...

Happy Easter!!
spam stops now :)

What a beautiful, happy Easter kiss.

Ces said...

How delightful to hear my phone ding me one by one by one. My heart jumped. I thought to myself, that could only be one person I know. I had a big smile on my face. I checked my messages and and my smile widened as I read the messages one after the other. I missed you. Welcome back. Tsup!

Ces said...

Serendipity. It is checking the blogs to see if something is of interest and then I find you!

Ces said...

Your link s fabulous. You are famous, indeed. I knew about that site since your first book cover. I thought you knew! How fabulous indeed. They are multiplying. A visual delight.

Mita, I have been up to my neck with work and other personal things. I have so many things to do and so much I owe to everyone who has been kind to me and generous with me. You are one of the special few. Thank you.

Steve E said...

Ratu_Lakhsmita_Indira...you are one outstanding Peep-among-Peeps!

You could never EVER be that child "who always annoys me"--grin!

Viewed your book-cover illo page, and I AM IMPRESSED. You are positively TOO brilliant!

I read those not-so-secret messages to "J"? and cry with you, whose soul is filled with that agony, that joy, that 'annoying' child...

Sometimes I shake my head and say to me, "I have a blog friend named Mita--it is so fortunate for me."

Thank you for your visit. I am humbled! You asked "How are you?" Good enough!

Finally, I ask you to consider one of my 'rules': do NOT jump across any chasm which cannot be completed in ONE leap.
PEACE!
TSUP!

Annoy me again sometime?

See! I am not the only one going crazy about your blog having a tantrum.

rossichka said...

Oh, so you've received this beautiful drawing! I hope it'll warm your soul and overjoy your heart! Hope also that you are getting well - you have our love and support, dear Mita!:)

Why go wrong?
I do not think anything looks wrong.
You're a woman inspired.
Your growth should give you confidence in yourself.
Believe only in yourself.

Gorgeous! I like your work, your illustrations and words!
Your work is telling me you are a beautiful person.....
