I'm so excited to share all of this amazing art with you.

WE ARE INCREDIBLE!!!

*** THIS IS OUR 12TH COLLABORATIVE ART JOURNEY COLLECTION! ***

The wide array of artistic expression is growing rapidly --
no surprise, we seem to be quite a diverse group, as artists generally are!

Visual artists, musicians, poets, story tellers, and video and book makers are adding their inspired works to our growing collection. Together we are creating a strong community, and every time we bring our inspirations and imaginations to the table, we get a glimpse into each other's mind, heart and soul.  

For me, the personal benefits I receive from coming together for such an effort far outweigh the post rewards. Thank goodness!!  I haven't done too well in that department!  May we be in alignment with post rewards grand enough to even begin to compare and stand up to our level of enjoyment!  Our combined efforts are laying the foundation for building friendships, upping our skills, and supporting each other.  

Our art speaks for itself~

so, without further adieu~

here is a taste of the yumminess.

Collaboration No. 12:

~**~**~**~**~ R E J U V E N A T I O N ~**~**~**~**~

I offered up an Invitation to collaborate on this photograph

 I took this photograph of peeling paint on a wall in an old historic building in Pottsville, PA.  I, loving it as it is, preserved it's beauty with my lens.  The uniqueness of each chip, stain, peel and crack is intriguing to bring back to life, to rejuvenate and give new perspective and purpose.

Then, 21 more artists worked their magic 

to produce 28 Collaborative Masterpieces 

from my one photograph and their imaginations.  

BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY HERE:

Begin with this musical creation while exploring the remainder of these collaborative masterpieces:

Yes Yes Yes @verbal-d! Another amazing piece! I love the layers and layers you have woven together. There is a lot of depth to this song. I'm truly honored to get to be a part of its birth. Sweeeeet job. And happy birthday to your sister!

Life Forms by @thedrollyears

OH yes there are little creatures in there. I always see those kinds of hidden things too. Thanks for your fun interpretation @thedrollyears.

I'm so glad you took off into the cave and dared to manipulate my original piece. What a great transformation. I'm honored by the perspective you share. Blessings to you @soyjoseluis.

@shortcut's creation:

Oh my gosh @shortcut, you are hilarious I love this! Every time I would look at my original image, I too would see a polar bear. So glad you brought it to life!

Wow! That is intensely brilliant! Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun!!! Thank you so much for playing @yadamaniart.

Art by @reddust and her grandson!

Oh so much to love about this image. First, its the polar bear I see every time I look at my original image. Second, your grandson was involved---BRILLIANT!! Third, it's made out of recycled materials! Fourth, I'm kind of a detail oriented kinda-gal, always taking things one step into the fine aspects of things. Awesome that you did something out of your box!! Fifth, it's an awesome rendition in color and concept. LOVE IT ALL!!! Thank you for playing with us @reddust.

Omerta by @meesterboom

I always love your posts @meesterboom. Your sense of humor comes through and it always makes going on the transformation adventure with you quite enjoyable. I totally see what you brought out in this image. The layers you gave it are just my style. I also love the way you just pop out with something kinda dark and off the wall. Great diversity you share with us!

Alien Lands also by @meesterboom

Oh my gosh @meesterboom! You just crack me up!! Love your perspective and how you share your thought process. Of course, who wouldn't be thinking about fanged, red-glowing eye crabs! Brilliant!! Thanks for the jollies!

Sky Egg by @lightsplasher

Hahahahaha---oh so cute. Love the jovial nature of this post. Thanks for joining us @lightsplasher.

Normone: Rejuvenating a Planet Two Eggs at a Time to Save a Species of One
by @nonamesleftouse

I'm so thrilled by all the facets you engaged. Great use of my photo--solid transformation! Thank you for playing with us. Upvoting and following you!! ReSteemed!

"Rejuvination" by @spaceginger

I totally missed commenting, upvoting and resteeming your post. =( There are always more opportunities to be mindful!! Thank you for this amazing interpretation. I love how your art always reflects your username and every single piece is a whole new galaxy! The colors and highlighting spot on! Thank you for sharing your expression with us.

I see faces in everything too. Love how you brought this one to life @girlbeforemirror. Following you now!!! Thanks for coming out to play!

Cutting and Pasting - An Upcycled Homage to @everlove  also by @girlbeforemirror and her enthusiastic 2 year old

Oh girlbeforemirror! I am truly grateful you made this art anyway. The fact that you did it with your little one makes it even that much more charming. Art with kids is so healthful. I LOVE THAT! You made a really great creation AND you did it with trash! My favorite!! I am impressed! Thank you for sharing!

Rudolph by xochicotta

A polar bear, a dog and Rudolph!! Loving it! Thanks for playing with us.

Art-Inspired Poem 1.0 by @robyneggs

Life begins again
I can see it in the stew
Stir the pot
Milk it
Construe the last of the Winter's stores as enough
Question life all over againRiches beyond temptation
Escalate to the skies
In hopes of renewal
And desecration even
But do we let them last?
Can we let them last?
The last of the Winter's sky lingersA motion carried through space...I wrote these poems along with creating these art pieces. These are my own original work. Feel free to share, just please credit @robyneggs.

Art Inspired Poem 1.1 also by @robyneggs

Portals open in the dark
A meager excuse for travel
But the journey is so enticing
Even with the scraping of gravelThe elucidated liquid being
Of surrealism capped
Is nothing like being alone
Inside a Winter's capJuice me, need me
Just leave me to be
A skinned horse on a cart
Trappings tied so loosely

Art Inspired Poem 1.2 also by @robyneggs

The world unfolds
Again
Once again I am lost to the winds of time travel
And escape
Enjoyment
ShoesTurkeys
Trombones
Trottole
And sconesDogs Howl
Children wail
Scales are dropped like the hand of a conductor
Stale
Derailed into the night like the episcopal church steeple
(Suck my squeeble)

Wow!!  Three double amazing whammies!!!  What a great combination of skills you have @robyneggs. Thanks for adding another dimension to this image. So grateful you are playing with us.
