Happy Thanksgiving

Winding down to year's end and getting projects done so that I may concentrate on stuff I want to do. I sent off the last book due on the altered round robin. This time I don't feel like it was so much fun. Those hurricanes just kept getting in the way and power losses didn't help any. I am debating on whether or not I will participate next go around.
I sent off an altered puzzle swap today. That one was fun. It involved 12 mini works of art and basically no pressure.

Wendi Speciale Designs

Well I'm psyched. I ordered a custom rubber stamp to be made from a childhood picture of myself. The people at Wendi Speciale liked the stamp and want to add it to their line. How cool is that? I will be immortalized in a clear rubber stamp. I checked out the member gallery just now and there is my submission of an altered book page I made. How dumb that I did not send my last name. Oh well, I'll be like Michaelangelo and use only one name.

Discourged about my blog

Raquel Now an Artist

I am having trouble adding additional posts to my blog. Will I have to abandon this? I hope not.

Fat Books

My fat book finally arrived from Celine Navarro. It took forever to receive this since the pages were due to her March 1st (5 months ago)but it was well worth the wait. This was something new for me to do. The theme was childhood and we had to use some of her (Celine's) collage images. The number of interpretations is amazing and I will certainly refer to my copy to inspiration and knowledge. It's so amazingly easy to make your own books. A simply comb binder makes it all possible.
I also did learn from this that artists do not always stick to deadlines and I need to develop tolerance for this.
