Here is the back collage for the chunky book.

Hope

Last week was a crazy one. I found out that my three little chairs (as seen on this page) will be featured in an article in Cloth Paper Scissors Magazine!! This was exciting news for me and I had to ship those little chairs to Massachussets the next day!!! The need to be there by March 7th so I am a bit anxious that Canada Post will help me make that deadline. Plus with customs you never know!! We carefully packed the chairs in bubble wrap so I am sure they will make the journey unharmed!!! I will be excited to see them on the glossy pages of a magazine.

I finished my chunky book submission for Art Chix Studio and I think they turned out pretty good!!! Emily Dickinson's "The Sea Mew"was the poem that I used in the 4X4 collages!!!

Full Moon Fever

Last night I watched the total eclipse of the Moon. It was spectacular, although I had to be patient- these things take time. The colour of the Moon was haunting and, when it was without light, looked like a painting of mars against a dark black background. The Moon seemed out of place without it's light from the Sun. I am always comforted by the fact that if I look up into the blackness of a night sky the moon is always there, seemingly watching over me and blessing me with it's bright white reflected light. I wonder what it would be like on a world where there was two, or even three moons???

Art Cat

I have an orange and white cat named Rupert. I have nicknamed him "Art Cat" because every time I sit doing my art he insists on lying under my chair. It can be a bit of an inconvenience sometimes, especially when I step on him by accident. He is patient though and just moves out of the way calmly to another place beneath my feet. It's alot of fun having him around.

Welcoming the Sun

Two days ago it was Groundhog Day, or to the ancient Celt's "Imbolc"!! This is the time of year that many of us start to notice that the days are becoming visibly longer, lessening the cabin fever that has plagued us over the long winter months. I have promised myself that my art will reflect the changes in the seasons and the phases of the moon that have such an impact on the quality of life. That is my goal this year, to reflect the beauty of nature in all the I produce artistically!!!
