well...meetings, dog walk, laundry and the dentist stop me in my tracks....arg....real life? blah!
but then...the day catapulted into the best day ever!!!
i had sent a stabilo pencil to a young man in Czech...he was not able to find one in his country and the thought of an artist....without a stabilo? unthinkable...right? well....i tossed some ephemera off my desk(...yes, underpants), into the packet a long with the pencil and sewed it shut. Michal had received it yesterday and created a 'video of gratitude'...it brought tears to my eyes...he is so sweet...and his art wings are still damp with discovery!

THEN............i tgot an email from Somerset Magazine that they are going to publish 2 of my altered books and want ME to write about them! OMG...i am so honored!
THEN...i was approached to see if i might want to be a juror for an 'art book gallery show'...what? could this day get any better?
THEN...i got to get back into my studio to play on the altered book cover...wowza! a little bit of 'crackle time' and it turned out amazing! (video in the making on this technique)
so....never give up....never surrender....
yep....BEST day ever!
thank you ALL for your support....this journey would not be the same without you!!!
