Getting to know the artists I have listed on my blog and more too. What an amazing group of women, sharing their hearts and art work. I am inspired and touched.
I used old childrens board books for these. Gessoed then collaged with acrylic inks. I found old poems from my childhood rather than sweet sayings. Caroline had a poem about fairies by Robert Lewis Stevenson, Colin, Halfway Up by AA Milne because he loves the stairs and Cole, Mr Nobody which I remember from childhood. They loved them and I am always so pleased that their mother will keep the books safe.
I just finished this tile mosaic and gave it to Celeste for Valentines Day. It is 10 inches by 12 and mounted on plywood. I got my clay class to try a tile like this cut into pieces and this was my example. Not sure what to do with it but I wanted to remember Caroline's climb to the falls at South Mountain.
