Kokopelli


I took this picture in Sedona, Arizona State, USA.

You can find this picture everywhere on the walls, gifts and so on...

I've read some about the sign and I want to share it with you.

On many walls in the southwestern desert, dating back over 3 000 years ago, we find the figure of the humpbacked flute player, Kokopelli (a Hopi name). A wanderer, for sure, and a man of strange powers, compensating for his deformity, there are many myths of this famous figure. One is that where he traveled he brought the change of winter to spring; the hunch on his back depicting sacks of seeds and songs he carried. His flute is said to be heard in the spring’s breeze, while bringing warmth. Legend portrays him as a fertility figure, healer and story teller. Villages would sing and dance throughout the night when they heard his flute, upon which the next morning, worthy maidens in the village would be with child. Whatever the true meaning of Kokopelli, he has been a source of music making, dancing and joy to those around him.

The first shot!


Here we go!

I have been thinking about a blog in English for a long time. I have shared some of the things I wanted in Live journal. I still do LJ. I like it there and I have so many people who read me and comment me, but not all of them can understand English, so I'm here to start a new "little life".

I posted a picture of one drawing I did lately. I have given this picture to my dear friend on her birthday as a present.

I named it "Dragonfly". I have no idea what these yellow things are and I don't even want to guess, because it's a magic of appearance on the paper. You take the sheet of paper and you already know what is going to be there in awhile.

The colors are more brighter in the original version, but this one is still nice.

Everybody is very welcome to read me and comment me. I hope I'll enjoy being here!
