The Three Muses: Time / Aika


Kolmen Muusan teemana on aika. Tein taas aukeaman altsukirjaani, aiheena on tiimalasi. Aika (tai lähinnä sen puute) on ongelma, jonka kanssa kamppailen päivittäin. Aika ei tunnu riittävän mihinkään, vaikka eihän sen pitäisi loppua, kun sitä tulee koko ajan jostain lisää. Niinpä halusin kuvitella ajan tiimalasiksi, jonka voi kääntää ympäri heti, kun hiekka on valunut ylhäältä alas - sillä lailla ajan voi ajatella loputtomaksi.

The Three Muses' theme this week is Time. I made a new spread in my altered book, using an hourglass as the main image. Time (or actually the lack of time) is a problem I am struggling with daily. There doesn't seem to be enough time for all the things I want to do - and yet, time can not run out completely, beacause there's always more time coming from somewhere. So I want to imagine time as an hourglass which can be turned over when the sand has run down - this way I can think that time is endless.

  16. I love the sentiment behind this spread. I too never have enough time to do everything I want to do. It's time to turn the glass over! This is very symbolic and oh so wonderful in its details.

  20. Kumpa jostain todella saisi lisää aikaa tai voisi vain pysäyttää sen. Ajatus jatkuvuudesta on kaunis niinkuin kuvakin.
