As far as I am concerned, and as terrible as this pandemic is, it could be much worse. Anyway, silver is also excellent to shine light into your opponent's eyes - all the better to see or blind them! Salvage is my favorite thing to do. Separate the wheat from the chaff, exercise discernment, etc. Ok, yes good idea I will get more coffee now . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249108 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 18:17:55 +0000 approprio 2249108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all, for indulging my poetic impulses. It could have been purple (for the prose and a very comforting fleece) but the reversible silver bomber is a shop-the-closet hero this winter. I love it when I can turn a garment inside out and make it feel like new. </p> <p>Thanks <b>Angie,</b> for the inspiration too. Yes, it absolutely feels like we are marking time right now. <b>Irina</b>, I know! Still partying like it’s 2018 here.&nbsp;<br /><b><br />Rachylou</b>, thanks for the tip. Not familiar with her work, but she looks like one of my tribe. Will add her to the never-ending reading list.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>LaP</b>: for reasons that are beyond me, the saying is supposed to denote some sort of superpower. For amnesiacs. Huh.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Avicenna, slim cat,&nbsp;</b>Savage would also work, I suppose. Mauve Fauve? Eh, maybe not.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Helena, Janet</b>, that thing about jewelry and found objects… Need to ponder the symbolism there.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Suz</b>,&nbsp;I was looking for something that signified the process of recovery and renewal. We all need some of that right now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249103 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 17:44:45 +0000 Suz 2249103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautifully written and oh-so-easy to relate to. Silver is of course one of my absolute favourites, for all the reasons you specify, and the idea of "salvage" is powerful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249100 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 17:25:03 +0000 Irina 2249100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A shimmer… of color and hope.<br />Best of luck in 2022 (feels weird to type the number) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249098 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 16:39:56 +0000 Janet 2249098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely! Of course I love the silver, and the appeal of “salvage” speaks to me as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249096 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 16:30:50 +0000 LaPed 2249096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely read, thank you. "I seem to have forgotten more than she ever knew" really strikes a chord.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249093 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 16:00:01 +0000 Angie 2249093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These words and reflections work beautifully for you, <b>Rio</b>! Thanks for the poetic prose, and wishing you luck on your journey :)</p> <p>Do you also have to get your head around the fact that it's 2022?&nbsp; I'm still saying 2020.....as if time stood still....</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249092 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 15:54:57 +0000 slim cat 2249092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! I actually misread "Silver Savage" like @avicennia that sounded pretty intriguing as well.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249087 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 15:07:59 +0000 rachylou 2249087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting choices!</p> <p>Also: Wilhelmina Baird </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249083 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 14:50:20 +0000 avicennia 2249083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver might also be my color this year — my word, still not sure. FYI when I first read the title of your post I thought it said “Silver Savage.” </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249082 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 13:56:47 +0000 Helena 2249082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Approprio, beautifully written reflection. When I saw your title my mind went straight to upcycled jewellery ... Making something new and beautiful out of something deemed discardable ... I hope your journey finding you taking what's led you to this point and making something new and beautiful for yourself!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/silver-salvage#post-2249079 Sat, 22 Jan 2022 11:39:51 +0000 approprio 2249079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver salvage. A colour and a word.</p> <p>It could have been Polychrome Chaos. Maybe you remember when it would have been, but she’s gone now, leaving behind only a ghost of recall, as elusive as the Internet before social media, when all we had were usenet and chat clients.</p> <p>I wonder where that woman went. I seem to have forgotten more than she ever knew. Whatever is left of her is kicking over the traces, all pajamas and unruly hair, laughing at jokes I wrote months ago. Was anything real back then? Are we getting better now? Is it safe to leave the house today? How can we be sure?</p> <p>Does anybody remember what normal means?</p> <p>Is it a colour or a feeling, this silver I have in mind? I know it when I see it. A metallic, reflective surface. A camouflage between the seen and the unseen, a place where individual and anonymous meet halfway. A suit of shining armor, or a cloak of invisibility. A shimmer.</p> <p>Silver is currency in the palm of a fortune teller. Salvage my desire to move on, taking what I need with me. </p> </p>
