Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 10, 2019. Posted in General, GOD, LOVE. No Comments on Lenten Beauty: 3/10/19

As I talked about in my earlier post, I am creating one thing of beauty each day of this Lenten season. Technically, Sundays aren’t Lent. (For what it’s worth, neither is Holy Week). Yet, I wanted to do my beauty thing today, so here it is. We march on toward Easter. <3

The Beauty of Lent 2019

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 7, 2019. Posted in General, GOD, LOVE. No Comments on The Beauty of Lent 2019

Lent creeps up on us with ashy feet, banishing the revelry and sunshine in favor of introspection and smoky religion. We kneel and stare at the floor, contemplating. What to do with ourselves? How to spend the 40 days stair-stepping up to Easter and resurrection? Take on, give up. Piety and sacred resolutions. What direction to point in?...

I’m grateful to Literary Orphans for publishing this essay/prose poem/whatever of mine. And the accompanying artwork is great. The title is Atomirotica. It’s got an attitude. 🙂 If you look closely at this photo, you’ll see the image of Miss Atom Bomb (or something like that). My very own refrigerator magnet collection Hope...

The Plates (or chainsaws)

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on March 3, 2019. Posted in FASHION, General, Writing. 4 Comments on The Plates (or chainsaws)

I am a plate juggler. (Or, as my former senior law partner called it, a chainsaw juggler. ) I have a lot of projects going at once. Right now, I’m running as hard as I can after my goal of “getting my work out there.” This gives me five projects in various stages of completion. Here they are. (I don’t expect you to remember...

So, it’s a good news/bad news type of deal. The good news: I requested a Kirkus Reviews of Model for Deception: A Vangie Street Mystery. This is what I call my “fashion model detective novel.” Here’s the book jacket on the novel: Vangie Street is older—thirty-two to be exact—when she takes up modeling in the “big...

The Big Head

Written by Ellen Morris Prewitt on February 12, 2019. Posted in General. No Comments on The Big Head

My Mardi Gras costume this year involves a big head mask. I knew I wanted to Paper Mache it (I did a LOT of Paper Mache when I was making crosses—I bought the sectioned frames artists use to stretch canvas, put them together for the correct size, then Paper Mached them either as a base to further decorate or with colored tissue, etc as the...
