i finished this little journal

journal spread open


made from an altered book


cover


the last page 



there is always a mixture of feelings with endings.

it is difficult to say goodbye, to experience the void, to not want to

fill it immediately.  yet there is fertile ground in being in the very 

momemt, now, to savor the experience, to open your eyes and

really see.


little scene from my powder room


i have been working on a little watercolor painting

with wire sewn to it.  as soon as i complete the photos

i will post the technique.


for today, i join the weekly paint party friday (please excuse the accidental double post).
i hope you will look at the of the other art shared on their site.
