this week
a mixed media collage and painting
using one of my sketches
and another with my sketch...
or half a sketch :)
kitties painted on a post card
a friend snuck a photo
while i set up on the print press
printed grape leaves and curly ques
i received these beautiful gifts
a stunning atc from the so very
talented mixed media artist annie hamman
and this charming atc and lilting poem
from mariette herbert
and my fellow corita kent enthusiast,
jacki long so generously gave me this
bag with a corita quote
and a booklet full of her postcards.
if you don't know of corita, which i have
learned, many do not, she is a sours
of endless inspiration.
