Diabetes Art Day: A Late Submission

I wasn't planning on participating in Diabetes Art Day. Not that I didn't WANT to. I just knew we wouldn't have time this week to create, so I planned to sit this one out and enjoy everyone else's creations.

But this morning when I was doing my rounds, cleaning the house...I came upon this little sculpture. I took a picture as is. No rearranging. No planting specific items. Nope, this is what was sitting in our hall "Blood Sugar Station."

Art in its rawest form.

I call it, "A Long Night"


A picture really is worth a thousand words.

  6. This is what we might call "found art." The beauty lies in its symbolism; all of those items are keeping your precious boys alive. :)

    I hope tonight is not as long!

  13. People make careers of just photographing what's around them, so that's just as much art as anything else might be. It definitely conveys a lot about the chaos, how we just "throw" stuff at diabetes in an endless effort to keep it balanced, and how there's a wake of junk in the wake of those efforts. And by "junk", I don't just mean wrappers and trash...

    I'm glad you ran with the inspiration, and decided to participate in Diabetes Art Day. Thank you!
