The Phoenix Rises Again!

By Silver Blue

This time, courtesy of my friend Lynn, who handcrafted this far, FAR too nifty fob for my camera bag!!!

The silver and blue chain is of a Byzantine style (a/k/a chain mail), the crystals are Swarovski, and the pendant is 100% Phoenix. Created in my colours of silver and blue, it is beautiful, and was a complete surprise. Many thanks to you!!

Whilst I was out and about today, I hit the clearance racks at Kohl’s department store where I found a number of nice items including some frames for the 10″x13″ photos I have (what’s the deal with the odd size??? Standard is 11″x14″. I think Sears Photo is attempting to scam and go cheap. Still, I managed to find two (the only two they had) nice wooden frames for the 10″x13″ photos (one of me, one of the “fearless five” [the five grandchildren on mom’s side of the family]), and for all of $3, this framed item…which spoke such volumes to me it HAD to come home:

I had something like that typewriter growing up…and the case it was mounted in as well (it’s actually SCREWED to the bottom wooden piece that was fabric covered). I wonder, in fact, if it might still be residing in my parents attic, just waiting to be rediscovered….

My evolution through time

By Silver Blue

In 1988, I created an abstract piece of art on my bedroom wall in my parents’ house. It exists to this day:

The wall was painted Federal Slate (a light blue), and it would still be another year before I took the moniker “Silver Blue”. The width between each triangle, and the diagonal stripe is 2″ — the width of the largest masking tape I had in the house. The top blue line is 2″ wide, the bottom red line is 1″ wide, and the red triangles are 1″ wide as well.

In 2001, I digitized the wall painting, and altered it for a (then) web company called “Polo Blue Web Productions Ltd.”

This served me well, but I disbanded the company in 2007, for numerous reasons. While I still own poloblue.net, it’s closed and probably will not be resurrected. I needed a way to be reborn. Enter the Phoenix. That’s how I see myself, most of the time. In a constant state of rebirth. Old parts of me are destroyed while new parts spring forth of the ashes of my past. Ergo, my new logo (designed by Elise Heath) is:

Take that with the changes in me (from left) in 1988, 2001, and 2011.

Silver Blue, who hopes that as time goes on, I never lose the will and desire to continue evolving into newer and more exciting (to me) versions of myself.
