This page was a total blast to make, I tried new techniques and mixed paints to come up with just the right colors.  This page comes after seeing the movie Alice in Wonderland and also reading the wonderful Caroline Myss' Newsletter, March Salon in which she admits; I am an “Alice-o-phile”.  The article is entitled; ALICE TIME: CHOOSING SIX IMPOSSIBLE THINGS TO BELIEVE IN.  It is a wonderful read, try it!

Nice spread. I haven't seen the movie but I enjoyed the book and the idea of an alternate world. Top of my list of the six is World Peace! I hope it's not truly impossible.

What a beautiful page! You put a lot of work into it and it turned out to be fabulous. I was freaked out by Alice in Wonderland when I was a little girl and so the new movie didn't appeal to me to go see. Thanks for sharing your beautiful spread.

Go Easy

t This is what I did with the last background that I showed you.  I don't usually go in for pink but this felt right and this is also the first time using black paint.  I have a little tool I've made, from needlework grid. I cut it at the point where it leaves little "nobs" which I drag through the paint on the page. I was reading Joyce Lee's Notes to Self , which I find profoundly uplifting and used her wisdom for this spread. I quote: "I knowingly accept that I am a work in progress. I do understand that taking baby steps is the most I can do some days. I recognize my growth potential as I love and honor my path."  These are words I needed to hear!  I really needed to go easy with my self.  I've lost so many work hours and well you know, lots of idle time and no money!  Thank goodness for all my supplies!   I've been very strong!  No shopping!  It's times like this that make you dip a little deeper into your own soul and find the kind...

New Stuff in November and December

These past couple of month have been a complete change from the past year.  I lost my 88 year old client to Alheimzers who lived 75 miles from me.  So my dear client and comute is over, which is sad in so many ways. In spite of the comute I was able to bring my computer and art supplies therefore stay active on the internet and keep creating for the three days I was there. I have a new client who will be 90 years old in 2010, who is in good health and a joy in her own right.  She only lives 15 miles from me but alas, no internet connection or space for me to create art. So I'm back to a very lopsided exsistance, 3 days with no internet or art and then 4 days off.  I'm having to deal with art and internet withdrawal!  And of course tis the season to be busy, busy, busy!  All these pages are from my composition book that I got from Walmart for $1.29.  I love that I don't have to worry, just have fun and total free...

Creating Personal Retreats an Online Workshop

The Entrance This is week three, Contemplation!  So the front side of our Retreat House is done, mostly, I can see where I would like to add more personally meaningful additions here and there. I'm taking this Online Workshop with Cathryn Antyr, the collagediva . I did another workshop with Cathryn and was very pleased with the details of instruction and the photos which guide you along and this workshop is no different.  I beleive that through this work I am finding balance in my life which was sorely needed. First Panels My artistic blossoming is depicted by a Louts flower.  Each petal reflects an aspect I am working on.  I also added that while I am doing this work I will allow myself to gently unfold but at the same time allow exploration while holding close to what has heart and meaning for me personally. Center Panels This panel is a santuary for Ganesh.  The little window opens to reveal some of the attributes of Ganesh, he is the ...
