Share your art 🏵️

Every year, Pepperdine University creates a memorial on their grand lawn to honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Waves of Flags is a display of flags representing all of the people and countries affected by the event. It’s an impressive and sobering experience.

Today, as I walked through the flags, I thought of Yoko- and the treasure hunt- when I saw the Japanese flag. I took these photos to share here. As we honor those who perished on that fateful day, we can also honor ourselves as we carry on.

Here are the flags from the birthplaces of John, Yoko, … and me! 🇬🇧 🇯🇵 🇺🇸

#NeverForget and always #Imagine there’s no countries.

(Except for our country of Nutopia, of course!)

Couldn’t upload the actual photos. This is a small representation.
 
This is not  my art, i.e. I didn't create it, but I proudly own it 😊 It's a collage by Klaus Voormann, which I bought earlier this year. It's simply called  John and it consists of etchings, an 1960s photo of The Beatles and a facsimile of John's signature. It is hand-signed by Klaus and measures 42 x 32 centimetres.

I am a writer and I teach people how to write and translate their souls into words.

This September I am going to teach young children how to write postcards: I made two options, one of Abbey Road and other of the Yellow Submarine so they can color.

My idea came after the Ringo's book, Postcards From The Boys. He collected the postcards from George, John and Paul for years before publishing.

If the Beatles loved postcard, it is a good sign that children would love too.

My classes are free and in poor aeras. I believe that that is my art: introduce the Beatles and writing postcards so children will love both forever. Simple but efficient.
You are fantastic, Ivy! I feel very lucky that you found me and shared with me your beautiful story with the wonderful kids that you teach! ❤️ Thank you for doing what you're doing!
