Thank you for sharing, especially the challenges of home repair and the many emotions that go along with it❗️I am just starting my art practice and am inspired by your posts. I love the detail of all included, materials, books to read, and authentic life. Thank you so much.♥️

So glad you like it…all the other bits play a big part in the creative life, I think…sometimes with an adverse effect but the drawing, cutting, sticking holds me up when life throws a curve ball!

As always (!), this was a delightful email to read on grey Saturday morning in Chicagoland. Again, condolences for the loss of your dear cat. I’ve owned several, beginning with Siamese, and I know something of that particular grief, so I’m thinking of you and wishing you peace. Looking forward to signing up for the class next week, though I’ll have to watch the recording. Also very interested in the next class you’re proposing. Thanks too for the book tips! Always appreciated. All the best through the construction period🙏😍 —janet

I wanted to say how sorry I am about Coco--I know how hard it is to lose a beloved kitty.

I'm really looking forward to the Spring Blooms class and other things you have planned! I'm using a dip pen here and there for sketching and it will be fun to learn more about how you like to use yours.

I've never seen a stretch book more pretty than this Lucia and I have the feeling you're garden is going to be the best one yet...

And my condolences for Coco. Losing it's a grief that stays for long....

Your hard work is very beautiful and you have a very beautiful soul too I'm wishing you a very beautiful weekend also 💗

So sorry to hear that Coco has died. So sad to lose a much loved pet. Yes the blossom has been better than ever this year. Maybe due to the dry sunny weather in March.

I can hardly find the words to tell you how scrumptious these types of collages/drawings you create and share are. With these…..You help to feed my spirit and my soul and most importantly, my inner child and artist and dreamer while I expect to see GOD show up TANGIBLY in this life. They are a hearty meal and a hug and cup of comfort. Much of your art is like that for me. Thanks very much for all your effort and heart and joy and life 💖😻
