These are all the things I wish for you:
Childhood wishes...
This is the first spread in my altered board book for Week 2 of the AHH course with Tam (Willowing). The photos (image transfers and an old pic from 1921), represent young Rosie and the childhood I wish she had had…
Dear Rosie,
That’s the left-hand page… and this is the right-hand page:
Happy trails
The reality wasn’t at all like this, but then, that’s the point of Art, Heart & Healing – dealing with my demons through art. Watching Tam’s videos and joyful art-making is therapeutic in itself and I have discovered that I can draw – a bit! The next phase is drawing “Whimsies” and creating a spread with them… says she who has never drawn one in her life!
I must admit that although I am not a sweet, traditional, neat creature when it comes to art, because of the grungey backgrounds and mixed media setting for these dolls and portraits, I am finding it easier to embrace the whole concept of whimsy. I hope that makes sense?
Anyway, this is also my entry to Theme Thursday – Blue – this week. Have a great weekend – me? Oh I am working again (and grateful!) 🙂

/ October 30, 2010Rosie, Soooooo fabulous. I love the colors and how you’ve put the word LOVE in your background. The photos are fabulous, too. (I’m laughing because I used blue spirals on the border of my week two page …. I really can’t remember if I saw your page before and internalized them unconciously… or what! If so, thanks!)

/ September 10, 2011Have you ever deemed putting more video clips in your content to help keep the readers much more entertained? I mean I just read over the article of yours and it was really excellent but since I’m really a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful. Just my my idea, Good luck
