Here is this week’s Love Louder video. This week a poem that I wrote and I am the voice in this poem. If you’ve ever wanted to know what I sound like, here’s your chance.
I plan to do ten of these videos and then reevaluate the project. I might do more or I might stop. Depends on how well received this project is.
I just started a new poetry seminar which is very intense and consuming most of my time this week, but I still managed to get some time at the scroll saw. Here’s where I am with the cross I am working on:
I almost half way through this. I figure I have maybe another 20 hours before it’s done.
Here’s a close up of the blade and one of the holes:
The pencil is a 7mm one and the blade is just to the left. The blade is about the thickness of a few sheets of paper. Yes, I use a magnifier for this work the smallest holes are about 1/4 inch and the one the blade is in is about 1/2 by about an inch long.
I have been working on scroll saw and quilting projects as well as starting to edit a series of slideshow style videos for my church. I’ve also been getting ready to start an intensive poetry seminar for the next 10 weeks. The only thing I’ve completed is this video for a thing I’m calling “The Love Louder Project.”
The idea behind the project is to create ten positive and meditative videos that will be shared on social media. This first one titled “Spirit” is a poem written by a friend of mine. The whole thing is less than three minutes so it fits into the current world’s short attention span.
I’m hoping that some of you might like this:
That’s it for this week. I expect that my blog output will be low the next couple of months as my time gets consumed with poetry writing. Well, if you need me, I’m looking for photos for my videos.
