"Mind Flood" is a term I stole from a Sam Roberts song and I use it when I am surrounding myself with imagery hoping for some of it to wash over me and inspire me. This is today's Mind Flood, based around the dying castle of Laputa from Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky, my current main inspiration. I love the roots falling down, reaching to take root in soil from the sky.
This is a gnarly root I dug up during my excavation of my back yard during the Kludge Fence project. I was particularly proud of ridding the yard of this stubborn root, and I held it high as a trophy for this triumphant pic!
This is a picture I just took of the outside of my house. I am particularly interested in the top window and the peak of the roof. That's where my new beading desk is located. Pretty clouds in a bright blue sky today!

Wow. What fantastic inspiration! The house flying reminds me of the movie UP with all the helium balloons attached to it to float. The roots are a strong image. Are they being torn from somewhere? Are they trying to take root someplace else? There is a lot entangled in this image...literally! Love what you are doing, Miss Melanie. You are such an inspiration!
