today I am sharing something I made month’s ago…
what with one thing and another going on here I have not made much art recently…
as some of you surely know already the talented, imaginative and inspiring Alicia has a really exciting and wonderful project going on…
the pages I created ended up with lots of layers because they kept changing over the months while sitting on my art table…
photographing the gold and blue tissue was a little tricky…
it all began with the Gustav Klimt tissue on the inside…
do they REALLY expect anyone to blow their nose on Der Kuss…
the open pages measure 8 x 6″ (20.32 x 15.24 cm)…
I decided to tear a peek a boo hole in the front and add the green netting…
I thought the quote speaks beautifully to how Alicia carries herself and works to turn her dreams into reality…
“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee the small child and the smiling faces. Smell the rain and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential and fight for your dreams.” ~Ashley Smith
as the April deadline to submit pages for Alicia’s book approaches I am hoping to put some final touches on my second submission for the book and get it in the mail very soon … you still have time to play along for a very good cause!
many thanks for all of your recent good wishes…
reading each comment is a gift that I appreciate so very much! OXO
footnote: thanks to Elizabeth of Altered Book Lover for getting me to dig deeper over at Alicia’s bbb…here is an update with her 27 April deadline information…not too late to join in!
