the experimenting continues since my classes and workshops are on hiatus.

i am making collage papers using  citrasolve squished into national geographic pages.  

i am hoping it would be a good presentation for my

experimental art group.  a lot of it comes out an inky mess but there are some gems.

in the meantime i received this beautiful journal 

in the mail from my generous friend, john.  

since he retired from teaching special ed he has

a creative fire lit under him.  check his blog to

see what he has been doing. 

i decided to use this journal for citrasolv experiments

here's my first page

during the closing of a year, i reflect on 

the words of the insightful poet, mary oliver

i am sorry not to know who posted this from pinterest

i am grateful to walk the creative path with 

friends, family and my health that support me.

i think of the people in my immediate circle and extended 

friendships who are challenged with health,

emotional issues or losses.  i wish i could wrap 

them in wings of love.  

view coming as i approached home

blessings to all in the new year.

XOXO
