09-01-09 Ok people! [What is Junket? …. umm …. a dessert, flavoured curdled milk, or curds & whey [there was a chick who gave it up for a scary spider dude once] Mum usually always makes it for Christmas she makes strawberry flavour with nutmeg on top I like the junket just NOT the nutmeg! Now days I think it’s made with jelly crystals dissolved into boiled milk & cooled in the fridge overnight! – I think that’s how Mum made it.] [What has Junket to do with this? Well I don’t really like trifle (the dessert with sponge & fruit & jelly {jello for you yanks} & custard) the name just doesn’t do it justice or is it because my sisters attempt put me off looking at it for life? ANYhoo this journal is a bit of a hotch-potch so I thought mix it in & hope for the best! – had this great recipe for a cake once you just throw all the ingredients in a bowl stir once then shove it in the oven and hey presto layers of all sorts of yummy things! – must get that one again!] ☼ So It’s a new month and a new year and the EEG is going strong! / In two months we have clocked up: / 60 Magnificent Members / 7 Gallery pages of Awesome Art, / 7 Anthem pages of Wonderful Writing / a select Wardrobe collection of Terrific Tees! / And a Jumble of Journal entries! / CHECK IT ALL OUT!!! / For such a specific group that is just S T U N N I N G !!! ☼ I have finally gotten the features up a whole smorgasbord of art and writing / and our featured Members are the newest ones of the group to date! / WELCOME!!! ☼ I have started a new Forum string … er line … umm whatever …. Oh yeah – thread ☺ and it’s to ask you / “What influences you to do what it is that you do?” so please drop in Here and let us know you never know you may have more in common with other members than you thought! / The other thread “How do you fit bubbling into your life?” [here—] is still going so if you feel like dropping a line or two in there too – go for it! ☼ A quick heads up too that next month – “February’s Foray” will be all about the challenge for changing the avatar at the end of the month! This challenge is a draw to bring in new artists. So the stipulation is that the EEG artist look outside the EEG for their inspiring art & draw that non EEG artist in. The last challenge was very slack about this, after all the EEG was small [only 20members & 3 weeks old if I remember rightly] but we are bigger & older now – the idea of Ekphrasis & treatise and inspired art creations have been out in the bubble for a bit. This is YOUR chance to spread the EEG word! / There’s a thunk! Check out the collaboration groups and the inspiration groups and pick someone from one of them! / Don’t forget I am NOT pushy about artists sitting in the group and not posting work / - it is as much a stable of artists as it is a gallery of art, or an anthem of writing, or a wardrobe of T-shirts! [& a jumble of Journals!] / - I know how hard it is to create Exceptional Ekphrasis and I would rather you took your time and be proud of your art than gave in crappy work just cos! Now for those who haven’t done an EEG challenge before the rules are simple enough: / Check out the stated ones on the front of the forum item page EEG Avatar Challenges / OK that seems simple enough doesn’t it? if not bmail me and I’ll try to make that clearerish (?) ☼ So much for this Junket leaving it to February’s Foray to be all about the challenge! <( ….. lol it’s ok I am a scout and our motto is Be Prepared …. Hmmm 9 days late with the feature change? Ok I’m a practicing scout ….. I am still practicing! lol Ummmm was there anything else? Oh yeah……. ☼ Serious stuff now! / There has been some art thieving going on and there are several journal entries going around about it. / I don’t usually have journals in the EEG unless they are pertaining to ekphrasis in particular but I have let one come in and I urge you to read it as it will give you the heads up to check your own art and make sure you avoid the thief(ves) indicated. RoxyLust’s Journal Thank you Roxy for this warning! / Mind you we writers have this issue ALL the time – but then it is next to impossible to sell our writing so who would bother stealing something they cannot sell? ☼ Also a heads up to – check out Mary’s Journal on how to avoid link mishaps due to smart punctuation in your word processing. Thanks Mary a great piece of advice that some may not get otherwise! Bravo! ☼ OK that’s where we are up to this month [I think!] Resolutions are just so easy to break but I hope whatever life re-evaluations & revamping you choose to make happen goes well for you! Have a ☼ B R I L L I A N T 2 0 0 9 !!! ☼ Chookas! X♥X

Abstract...Is This Elysium? by Janis Zroback
/ “Is This Elysium”, the fifth stage, is part of the semi-abstract Collection now named The Journey...Watercolour on MDF…see the beginning of The Journey below…click on each image to see the enlarged version.. Is This Elysium? / The place the gods have set aside for man to rest? / All day long the sun and moon shone together in the sky… / Here are fields as high as the house, songs play from the windows… / Gold and green and princely red mix with the daises and the corn.. / Is This Elysium? J.Zroback / / Wind and weather brought us to this place.. / The distant sound of voices whisper across the water.. / Night and Silence…who is here? / Solitude and Silence are our only companions… / How curious the light that shines on the water!! / Night and Silence..who is here? / Echo answers nothing. ..J.Zroback / / We were not certain, but we were on the way to somewhere.. / The mountains in the distance seem to hold everything in shadow.. / Where we were, was a field of poppies, but there was snow in the hedgerows.. / Beyond were fields and yet more fields, then what appeared to be a ridge of smaller hills hidden by a block of dense trees… / Behind us the lands fell away to nothingness ..J. Zroback / / Winter whispered softly as we turned our way homewards… / Why is it so dark you asked, scarcely daring to breathe… / I didn’t answer, but clasped you closer to my heart, / As snowflakes hung suspended in the deep blue night ... J. Zroback / / Thou greatest Keeper of Secrets, / Most elusive, consummate Illusionist, / Riddlester non-pareil, Mazemaster, / Supreme Criptician - / From whom do You hide, / everywhere and nowhere? / For whom do You wait? / Who else? / Only the ocean can know the ocean.
