I thought I would share what I am up to with you all...just in case you want to see.
First, I am in an Envelope Round Robin where 11 of us are passing an envelope to add to and pass along until they get back to their original owner...
It is a lot fo fun and I am finding that this is how I want to create. I get so bored so easily that I am finding it harder and harder to be in trades or fatbooks where we make several pages or items that are the same- production line work is not my gig let me tell you...
Here are some photos of the Envelopes after I got my hands on them
I hope the owners of these envelopes enjoy what I did...
And...Here are some photos of the "Heart" Book that I am Hosting for Portland Art & Soul...These items will show up somewhere as part of the finshed book...Enjoy the photos.




Hi Elise...Oh all your work is just GORGEOUS!
I know what you mean about getting bored. It's very difficult for me to do the pages all the same! With every page I find I want to tweak something. I have to stop and remind myself...you have to do this 50 more times...STOP making adjustments! It's kind of a good exercise in disciplining myself. :-)
Take care and I'm looking forward to seeing you at Art and Soul!!! Whoo-hoo!

Love your art and your poetic prose here Elise. You really have the soul of the artist! It gives me a lot of joy to see you continue to grow and blossom, and I've enjoyed our connection here in cyberspace. Love, Laurie

I'm glad you explained that Kitty Morris' photo was put in wrong...otherwise I might have thought KM was really just quite the unique feline!
P.S. I love the little glass heart!

Again, wow. Your work is so beautiful, and the colors so lush. I struggle with color, myself. Not really sure why, but I have a very strong leaning toward muted vintage palettes, and almost exclusively warm color schemes whenever I do break out of the vintage nook, which is odd since I truly do love vibrance, and blue is my favorite color. I really, really love your blue envelopes. =D
