How I work

I'm still working on the book for my mother.I'm coming to grips with the fact that I just have to wait until the last minute to do stuff like this.

Still, I am enjoying the process.And I keep imagining her face when she sees it.

If you came here today looking for baby and dog pictures, you can see one over here.

    I seem to need pressure too, to get me going... but this Leslie, is just so precious, and so heart felt. Your mother's face will say it all. I can't wait for your telling of that chapter of this beautiful book and story...

    What an amazing gift your mother will be receiving, Leslie. This truly is a gorgeous work of art and so meaningful for you both. I like the use of the glass beads, magnifying glass and vintage fabrics.Please let us know how your mom reacts to the book!

    Oh thank you for showing more. It's breathtaking.

    I think sometimes inspiration has to simmer a bit and then everthing comes together at the same time and perfectly.

    I suspect that most artists work best under pressure...I know I do :)
    I am on my way for more cute baby and dog photos...never get enough.
    Speaking of cute baby pictures...I have a few up on my blog right now.

    This is looking spectacular...and I guess the pressure you feel is echoed in the the pressure from those clamps!!!
