Altered book in the works

Working on an altered Christmas book for fellow artist Michelle at nook and cranny...adore her work,...this is a labor of joy for an art friend that will cherish my creation! Can not wait to swap it and see what she has created! Each page will hold a treasure for her to use!

it takes a mess to create a work of art!

TRUST! just trust, stand still , listen

She was in love with a bird ( The Holy Sprit) TRUSTthat always told her the truth whether she wanted to hear it or not, at least it was always told to her in song!

TRUST! DO NOT MOVE! My very own lesson in trying to not make things happen but allowing God to move...and having the courage to await the outcome...it was all good!

What is my why?

A question that was posed in a gallery talk and demo by the amazing artist Jeanne Bessette,http://www.bessetteart.com/blog/ and now I have to take the time to think on it- work it out- and ponder it. What is my why...why am I doing what I do, why am I so hard on myself,  why do I have to create, why do it, why do I love it, and why not....hmmmmm. I do know I love to sit and think and what better place then on a sheep,cow,rabbit etc chair!
