"Luminous Savoy" - A Collaborative Art Journey with @everlove

This could the next big thing... 'cabbage art'.  Hmmm.  

According to ancient whispers cabbages contain "moon power" which contributes to their many health benefits and healing properties.  It would seem there are plenty of gardeners who consider the phases of the moon when planning their crops... which I guess makes sense when you consider the significant effects the moon has on our planet.  For 'above ground' plants, moonlight aids leaf growth and such, and the lunar gravity of the new moon apparently causes planted seeds to swell and open quicker than during other phases.  I like the thought I could be absorbing "moon power" when I eat cabbage, and since I eat a LOT of cabbage I reckon I must be pretty powered up by now haha! 

My contribution to the 20th collaboration is this image "Luminous Savoy" (the first below) which was inspired by @everlove's original image entitled "Power Spirit" (the second below).

I love the colours and luminosity in @everlove's image, and it has a certain serenity that reminds me of my dreams.  It looks like scales or leaves or something frozen under ice (which I why I adore @opheliafu's piece here).  Since I am most well-know on Steemit for my food posts, I decided my image should be based somehow on something edible.  As I looked around the kitchen my eyes fell upon the savoy cabbage sitting in my veg rack... and I thought - perfect!  The rest kinda just happened without thought... for some reason I got a bowl of water, added blue colouring, and tore up pieces of cabbage leaves to float in the water.  For the luminous effect I put some blue and green fairy lights underneath the bowl which shone through the water.  I took a whole bunch of photos and then played around with an image editor, and these are the results!  It was a random and enjoyable way to spend a few hours.  I hope you enjoy viewing too!

I would like to thank @everlove for inviting me on this collaborative art journey, and also just for being her lovely lovely self!  She seems to have a gift for bringing people together and inspiring creativity, which adds something special to our Steemit community.  I know I'm not the only one who notices and appreciate this!
