Time Travel: The Ultimate Escape

The she-bears great paws stepped unhesitatingly into the whirling vortex of the time portal. The twenty-first century had lost one more California native. Mariah's own feet, however, seemed incapable of moving forward. There was no longer any thing, or any one, tying her to this place. What was holding her back from making her own journey back to 1893?

Very slowly, the woman reached out to part the clump of sage, behind which, the great bear’s body had  disappeared just moments before.

Take the plunge yourself. CLICK on the illustration above,

Inspired by a prompt at A Year in the Life of an Art Journal










What is more likely to send a gal spinning through time than an episode of vertigo?

Time Portal Guardians: The Mystery Revealed


A couple of days ago, I posted an art journal entry titled Guardians of a Time Portal. Just what are my two cats doing when they're sleeping their time away amongst the roses on the driveway, I asked?


My friend,Judy Gosnell  was able to answer that question in a flash. That gal is a natural when it comes to time travel. What era other than ancient Egypt, when cats were worshipped properly, would a cat consider worthy of her guardianship?


Stop on by our driveway the next time you're in the mood to join Pharohs retinue. Just don't forget a little offering of mackerel to placate the guardian at the gate.


Clearly our furry companion Olivia, sees herself as a later day Bastet. It's certainly nice of her to spend so much time in the modern era when she could be chasing mice through Pharoh's graneries. I feel honored.


No, not honored enough to open up ANOTHER can of mackarel. You can wait until breakfast-time, Olivia.


I created the illustration above in Photoshop, using photos I took at the British Museum. In four trips to London we've never missed a visit to that delicious treasure trove.

Time Portal: Stopping in for a brew at The Time & Time Again

Just another British pub?
Maybe.
But have you got the nerve to open the door?

Could be a special locally brewed ale, a piece of Cheshire cheddar, and the most delicious meat pie you ever tasted.

And if you're really lucky, you might just happen by on a day when we specialize in Victorian Values, Cromwellian Conundrums or Tudor Time Travel.
