Some people choose a word to reflect their hopes, dreams or whatever for the New Year. I've never done that, but decided I would. Actually I chose a phrase: see clearly.
That brought to mind the song 'I Can See Clearly Now', recorded by Johnny Nash in 1972 and Jimmy Cliff in 1993. This should be the theme song for all optometrists and ophthalmologists in 2020, don't you think????
I spent a lot of time in optometrist and ophthalmologist offices from the ages of 2 until 8. I was always intrigued by how dark it was, the strange contraptions and that box with all the lenses. I remember my first surgery at age 2. I remember waiting for my eyes to dilate (took a long time back then) and I remember the surgery at age 8. I don't remember being scared ever, except when I was 2, had to be strapped down so I didn't pull on the bandages and wanted my Mom to take me home. She would lean over the crib I was in and try to comfort me.
I used yesterday's sketch and today's WT: tone on tone. I clear embossed the background stamps. I used acetate for the large lens, embossed in black and mounted on a black circle. The other two circles are a pair of heavy glasses one has to have on during an exam.
I'm not sure why the sentiment is 'wink of an eye' instead of 'blink of an eye.' Or maybe it works both ways?
