Books made for Caroline Cole and Colin




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.

Caroline climbs to the falls

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.
