Envelope Test Responses: July 16

Current Envelope Test Responses

Following are responses for the Envelope Test for the period of July 16 - 31, 1999. The image for this round of testing is a picture of a campfire. I don't have time to review the results right now, but I'd really appreciate comments from others if you are so inclined.

Notes from Pangea

"Here are my thoughts concerning the campfire envelope test. Direct hits:

JustMe with "light against dark",
Elena with "outside",
Octagon with "outdoors", "Autumn colors", very intersting: "A sense of goodbye to something...mostly woods."
MJ with "warm".

- Anne mentioned bellows which I associate with fire, just not campfires.
- MapKilCoed's description fits the image pretty well. The tallest flame could be called a pillar, and the spirals at the top resemble a dome or mushroom.
- Walt Gable's comments got me to thinking about the life force of plants, and I tend to visualize life force as a flame.
- Elena described a well, which is generally circular, and campfires are also generally circular.
- BJ - depending on where the campfire is, mountains and lake may be in the vicinity."

Thanks, Pangea!

Impressions: Hmmmmm, I think it's . . . some sort of a mushroom shape,or a domed building. I also get a pillar shape with what could be a sphere atop.

Impressions: I see a few people...2 to 4...outdoors....in a wooded area...a rock...someone sitting on it....possibly water (lake) but I can't see the water, myself. Everyone is looking 'away' from the picture. Backs to "me." Autumn colors. A sense of goodbye of something. But no clear path up ahead, either. Mostly woods. A bit of confusion. Probably my own! (LAUGH!)
