\"LMika<\/a>This week, I will be needing to step back as much as possible as my family is gathering to celebrate my father’s life. \u00a0But I am not going to leave you without some pretties and something to ponder so I am dashing off and scheduling posts for you to enjoy through the start of next week but they will be a bit light on the chatter.<\/p>\n

I will leave you with some key words and\u00a0questions\u00a0and your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to fill in the blanks, so to speak. Try to answer the questions I pose or verbalize\u00a0what works in this piece for you and\/or what I might be getting at with the keywords and questions I leave. Thinking through what works in a design is a great exercise for helping hone one’s innate design sense.<\/p>\n

It would be wonderful and rather enlightening for you and other readers if you add your thoughts in the comment section at the bottom of this post so we can all read what other people see in \u00a0the work. If you get this by email, click the title\u00a0of the post in the email to be taken to the website\u00a0then scroll down for the comment section.<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s start with a little message from\u00a0Laurie Mika<\/a>. This message\u00a0might be helpful for many of us, especially considering the many sad and scary news stories lately. What\u00a0message–not just the words–do you get out of this piece when you consider the colors and patterns\u00a0alongside the words? How do you feel about\u00a0the preponderance of red? Do you think the long vertical shape adds, deletes or plays a neutral part in\u00a0the work? What do you like most and least about the piece?<\/p>\n

Go ahead and take a peek at more of Laurie’s soulful work<\/a>.<\/p>\n
