excited
fireworks
#wintsh 42. A piece inspired by the this piece of art “Feet of Clay” by Carolyn Coalson
I feel a little silly, but nobody said that what I was inspired to create had to be all that. I looked at the original and thought of fireworks. So that’s where I went. Didn’t come out how it started in my head, but nothing ever does.
My sign for today
Today was a very exciting day. Our schedule was all different because of a field trip. I love a little shake up. I decided yesterday that I was going to be excited today because I needed to be. And I was. This project has been far less about other people having insight into my frame of mind and more about my view of myself. It felt good to wear “excited”.
For the first time, I wore a sign out where I’d run into strangers. The lady at the fabric store definitely noticed it. She looked twice (and somewhat quizzically), but said nothing.
Big, fun weekend coming up and an eventful week after that. Woo hoo.
Excited. not exciting.

I like your interpretation better than the original. Much more colorful and exciting.
How big are your signs? I mean if I saw someone wearing a little one I’d maybe not think it was anything other than some weird Scarlet Letter type thing or maybe they were quirky, but if it’s a HUGE sign then I’d be a bit alarmed if I saw it. Doesn’t look huge in the photo, but I could be wrong. Good for you for braving the public!
@leaflesstree - today’s was about 3″ diameter. maybe i’ll fiddle with a smaller size for tomorrow and sunday.
@promisesunshine - okay that is about how big I’d pictured them. not huge.
I really like you.
excited is good
and i dig the painting
This makes me happy. Thanks.
Excited is exciting!
!!! 
Love your creation!
You make me smile this big
HUGS!!!
I need to make a sign but I’d probably get locked up
@godfatherofgreenbay - she innocently asks, “what would your sign say?”
so glad! HUGS!!
@adamswomanback -
@Bricker59 - thanks back.
@bonmots - it is indeed. beats the snot out of cranky.
@lanney - me too
I like your fireworks painting. Excited is a good thing, I think.
@armnatmom - thanks. and definitely
What a powerful message this post carries. Thank you for the reminder! Now I got to decide to be excited, too. =)
@godfatherofgreenbay - after getting us all curious? Nicely done =P
@nov_way - yay!
I love your fireworks. And I love that you are excited. We need to catch up on your life. I’ll have to try to find you around here one of these days.
@songoftheheart - i would love that, jo.
Feet of clay?? I don’t see any. I love the fireworks that you have shown.
Yes I got my minis back; here’s one for you. You are a neat person.
I like your fireworks and your sign excited. Your sign remains me of fireworks too..
@ZSA_MD - so are you.
@Grannys_Place - must have been my theme yesterday.
@nov_way - @promisesunshine - probably “sex starvation”
@godfatherofgreenbay - ah, yes. Good thing that’s a problem that’s relatively simple to fix. And now I get to be curious about other things!
mood signs are actually a brilliant idea. You might want ot market them. I’ll take a set: introspective, giddy, snarly, maternal, confused, explosive, amorous, delighted.
Fireworks are the thought of the day. yes they are. Love yours.
xxoo
@SandraErickson - i like your ideas! especially snarly. and giddy.
@promisesunshine - or, how ’bout the all purpose: “it’s not you, it’s me.”
@SandraErickson - oh yes. i could make a fortune with that one.
Well glad your weekend was exciting dear, hope your Monday is as well.
