Rain's Thursday art date - cracks and crevices

Hi Everybody!

It's time for Rain's art date again and this time her theme is cracks and crevices.

The first thing that came into my mind was  the poem about the Lady of Shallot from Alfred Lord Tennyson. This is the fatal verse:

She left the web, she left the loom

She made three paces thro' the room

She saw the water-flower bloom,

She saw the helmet and the plume,

       She look'd down to Camelot.

Out flew the web and floated wide;

The mirror crack'd from side to side;

'The curse is come upon me,' cried

       The Lady of Shalott.

If you click the link you can read the whole poem.

Agatha Christie used 'The mirror crack'd from side to side' to write a Miss Marple book, which was made into a successful film:

And if you want more about cracks in literature etc, you can find enough here to keep your mind occupied till it cracks....

And I won't even start on the huge cracks in society dividing the haves and have nots, religions, races and sexes....

 I found some art pieces with cracks. I definitely have cracks in my mind:

And another piece showing my cracked head - the feathers are already coming out:

This also seems to have cracks in it:

This is an altered photo made so long ago that I don't remember what it's a photo of, just guess!

My shadow is also cracked:

This is a book cover I made:

More cracks:

And here a mirror with cracks:

Cracks in the entry to this school:

And a mosaic - naturally with cracks on a cracked wall:

I love to see plants pushing their way through the cracks:

This menhir - standing stone - from prehistoric times is on the corner of our street. In the bad old days, a few hundred years back, there used to be a chapel opposite, built to counteract the bad vibes from the old stone. Prisoners being led to execution in our little town, had their heads bashed against the stone for good measure. Perhaps that explains the cracks? The visible part of the stone is about 6 feet high, but there's about the same length again under the earth, to make it more difficult for people to dig out and take home....

There are many cracks and crevices in the old walls of the town and the houses here:

Plants spouting again:

My feet walk over cracks in the stones day for day:

The castle ruins are full of cracks and crevices and plants which sprout from them:

Have a great day, take care,

and thanks a lot for coming by.
