OK so I'm working on my resolutionary alphabetica pretty religiously these days. And today I was assessing which letters from the alphabet needed some meditation and attention.
And the spookiest thing happened.
As I checked each letter of the alphabet and jotted down the ones that need words, out came the letters:
A N Q R Y .
So it suddenly became clear that "A" must be for anger.
I wish I could say that I probably need to get angrier with my work, but if I'm ruthlessly honest it's exactly the opposite. This isn't exactly news to me, I've probably been pissed off most of my adult life.
For you lucky souls out there who don't have any anger issues, feel free to come stay a weekend with me where I'll serve you up a nice heaping bowl from my surplus supply.
But anyhoo, I'm calling out for suggestions for N, Q, R, and Y. Any good words come to mind when you think of me or Studio Mailbox...??
N: nuanced, adj. Possessing or exhibiting delicate gradations in tone, expression, meaning, etc.
N: nubile, adj. Chiefly of a girl or young woman, or a personal attribute: sexually attractive.
Q:quicken, v. 1a to make alive; revive 1b to cause to be enlivened; stimulate 2 archaic - to cause to burn more intensely
I'll have to give some thought to the others. Be back! How is the London show going? Any news? Big bisous - Sue

Let's give it a try:
A: art maker; attitude LOL
N: new (refreshing)
Q: quality; quaintness (had to look this up in a dictionary:D)
R: ruthful; revive
Y: yearning ; or better still: yourself
And you'd better look into that 'angry' idea... Kind of spooky that it turns up in your artwork :D
