Thanks to all the lovely blogistas who have been in touch lately with encouraging words, and cards and tokens of friendship. Can't tell you how much it means. Especially you, Asha. And do get your own blog up and running again. When you do, I'll give you a shout out in here, with a link.
well, this is just a stunner. Most of your work impresses me no end, but it does seem you have outdone yourself here. I love the textures, and the colors of all of this. Just lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour comment arrived just as I uploaded the actual finished work! It now has jewelry, Indian, on its left edge. And it's completely done. I think this is the last of the artist books for now. I definitely have enough for the little glass case provided for the exhibit.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile thank you for your words, so kind and encouraging. Lovely to read.
You're very deserving, and I am glad to know you are supported as you should be. Thank you for the offer, I will have to get my butt in gear and set aside some time to plan and deliver a couple posts. Stunning art book, as always.
ReplyDeleteLove this. Just caught up with your recent entries...thanks for the mention, I'm honoured.
