CHAT:-- packing

I am in the early stages of packing. Regardless of where I end up going I will be leaving this apartment some time between July and December. So here I am going through things--a lot of which I have not looked at since last time I packed.

Here is an odd one. This is a sketch I did around 1999, I think. My drawing skills have improved a lot since then. What struck me is that as soon as I saw it I remembered what led me to draw it. I am not a great believer in the religious or spiritual. But one night I had a dream about a piece of jewelry. The picture doesn't do it justice. I still remember it very vividly. The face part was something like bone or ivory and the rest was gold and far more rounded than this with a preRaphaelite look to it. The stones looked like they might be opals. After years of not not giving this a moments thoughts I could "see" it is again. I may even have to have another go at drawing it more accurately.

I don't remember what, if anything, happened in the dream but I was left feeling this thing was important somehow. So I just thought I would post it...
