final update before my book heads out in the mail:
The last page and inside back cover
This piece reflects the art from my Grandmothers era.
Circles were a common element in this style.

ReplyDeleteI'm with Alicia! Awesome, soft layers and beautiful symbology (that's a word aye?) I love that your Grandmother gets to travel like this!
ReplyDeleteLisa, this is just beautiful! I can't wait to see it up close either! And then I get to play inside as well, Yay!
ReplyDeleteThank you all! My boys...ages 8 and 10 were sad to see that it is leaving...they always get so attached to my work for some reason...but I told them it would be back...only better! Yes, my grandmother is packing her virtual bags!
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sensational. Every time I look in on one of the books, I am more and more amazed. And the collab has only just begun!
ReplyDeleteOMG Lisa! Are you SURE you haven't done an altered book before??? This is just phenomenal! I am reminded of the seaside for some reason - it must be the layers of lace that wash in like waves around the edges of your frames; the starfish shape next to the bubbly froth of lace that encircles more lace and the dried driftwood colours.
ReplyDeletei keep coming back and looking at this over and over. i love it so much! and to think (which i had forgotten) that this is your first book. omg, lady! this is just phenomenal! i am loving it! i made something yesterday for your book. silly -- i should be working on my cover! finishing it today.
