Illustration Friday’s theme for the week is FLOAT. I really enjoy looking at the artwork different people come up with. It’s so interesting to see all the works of the talented people out there and what inspires them. I, unfortunately, am not bestowed with such talent. So what I can’t translate into images, I translate into words.
When I float, I want to be high in the sky. I think of Care Bears playing in the clouds. I used to think of clouds as bouncy pads and cushions I could land on when I slide down rainbows like Care Bears do.
I want to be on a hot-air balloon and cruising over the European/Australian countryside.
I float when I’m happy. It’s like I’m high on air.
I float when I’m in an outrigger canoe and riding the waves. I feel like I’m flying when the canoe is moving like a rocket.
I float when I’m in the sea wearing a life jacket.
I float when I’m in an aeroplane. When I’m on a plane that’s taking off from Singapore, my heart floats ‘cos I’m so happy that I’m going off to somewhere!
I float when I’m on a chocolate high. Chocolate fondue, chocolate lava cake, chocolate-dipped strawberries, chocolate whatever.
I float when I get emails and snail mails from people I really like and want to hear from.
Female ballroom dancers seem to float when they’re twirled round the dance floor in their billowy skirts by their partners.
Hippos bob on the water surface.
Bubbles float in the air.
