Get a deck and use them like Tarot/Angel.divination cards, etc. etc.... be imaginative with them, or write your own!

Below is more of the story of them.
"dotswriting"...writing dots writing dots .......writing, journaling with color dots
The intention is to expand on “dot(s)writing” with creating journaling expressions of visual experience as a calligraphy form. Expressing what I know and what I don't know. Each/all dot(s) representing a word, phrase, a tome, a momentary expression through time that constructs like alphabet on the written page. Each/all dot(s) is/are infinite in its/their possibilities within and without it/them self. Color, line, form within and without each/all dot wholisticly. The dot and the space around the dot. The all of dot(s)/space(s) together as the story expands with the page(s) of journaling.

Green Swamp Preserve | The Nature Conservancy
the Green Swamp is on the NC coastal plain.
http://www.nature.org/ourinitiatives/regions/northamerica/unitedstates/northcarolina/placesweprotect/green-swamp-preserve.xml
http://www.nature.org/newsfeatures/se20coastal20brochure2.pdf (map feature)
working with the plants, other healing energetics and the geometries/features of the land I drove south yesterday on 17 and cut northwest following the Great Serpent Mound Lei toward Pilot Mt in NC, the biome center of this region. [Peter Champoux "Gaia Matrix"]. this lei line continues on to the Great Serpent Mounds site in Ohio and onward...
in terms of Earth Anatomy swamp is a cleansing filtration system. parallel to our own anatomical digestive spleen, kidney, lung, lymph, balancing digestion & venous circulatory, etc. with the amount of oxygenation that occurs in swamp it is related to our lung/liver/spleen meridian. many plants from swamp are specific to these organs in medicinal and energetic medicine treatments for the land and their reflective partners the animals, other plants, Sun, Moon, Vesta, the all of inner/outer of our universe. I intended to be aligned with the New Moon Leo and Venus/thyroid, kidneys venous circulation, the acid-alkaline balance in the body/ and digestion. Venus in Cancer/water is a time to gently rinse/flush the digestive tract.
just a few miles from the Conservancy sign I stopped to visit roadside plant colonies. I kept to the roadside, it is part of the sacredness of wildcrafting/foraging to not trespass properties. here I met with a plant similar in appearance to Sweetfern Comptonia peregrina. it lacks the aroma and pungency of Sweetfern and has a slightly bitter sweet taste (astringent). the plant's presence here assures me of its usefulness in place, it's application at this point is enfolding with my understanding of it.
I reunioned with Boneset Eupatorium perfoliatum and Queen of the Prairie Filipendula rubra. Boneset is strongly emetic, promotes sweating/reduces heat/decongests stagnation, promotes and strengthens digestion and apetite. Queen of the Prairie is astringent, cooling, analgesic, vulnerary and is high in salicylic acid (aspirin), tannins and silica.
Green Swamp is also home several carnivorous fauna not found anywhere else; Venus Fly Dionaea muscipula and Pitcher's Plant Nepenthes sp. among them.
there were also seeds that attached to me. I retraced my step and couldn't find their source. Seed is a great symbolism for starting new projects and keeping with mind/heart all the caregiving involved with our seeds! I was also foraging for reeds and grasses to use in making my artwork and marked those accessible resources.
at Council I drove ENE to Atkinson where we celebrated Solstice '11;

my foot

| my foot digital ©Greg Patch |
the hands and feet are four of the most absorbant places on our bodies for taking in healing with beneficial herbs, minerals, nutrients and energy. looking at what curative effects of the full spectrum of pigment color, with reds dominant, and the mineral oxides of the earth pigments on the "reflexology" points of the foot. these particularly red pigments would be filled with Iron, ie.
yoginis and yogis would encourage me to develop grounding my 3 small digits!

creative and functioning sidewalk art
a series of photos of sidewalk art created for functional purposes (sidewalk craft?), i followed the path with intent to see where it would take me on my journey... the bamboo sidewalk art! wait, not done yet... more sidewalk art created as care for the infrastructure of this journey to be acknowledged and thanked by me on my way back to the studio with my sketches...
caution flag!/accept more open awareness...
-bamboo in my own work!-
the creativity of it appearing as I begin to focus more on the bamboos and reeds in my area for my functional/structural and my creative expression with these materials helps to assure me of this new path...

no success in researching what it is... it colonizes and feeds where the grass won't (companion plants displaying symbiosis) and climbs deadwood/seeking it out, mineral distribution in the ground soil and the various plants' roles in recycling the various levels of soil nutrition, patterns of artistic grace...
