I Thought I'd Also Join in the Rush to Post a Blog!




I've been at home with the flu or a very bad cold for most of this week, however I have managed to do a little bit on the round two postcards in my studio, after taking lots of cold and flu tablets! I am working on several at once, Kristin's, Lindesay's, Kym's and Rochelle's, I will photograph them when they are completed....meanwhile I thought you might like to take a peek at the piece of 'found object' jewellery I produced while recently doing a class with Keith Lo Bue. If you look closely into the lense of the bottom photo you'll see a blue eye!!!

    How are you Peta????
    Feeling better?
    Seeing Eye piece is it!!!
    It looks like something you could have with a circle of friends ~using a Talking Stick instead you use the Seeing Eye :)
    It looks very interesting, yes I can see the blue eye.
    Well done. You must be a very interesting grandmother:)
    Love all the new postcards coming through for the end of round 2. Take care,
    Kym :)

    Peta - -hope that flu is moving on now! I love your piece from Keith's class...it's such a fun one, isn't it? I looked at all the pieces on the Saturday morning at Forum, and wondered which was yours...they were all terrific - must have been an inspired group!

    Look after yourself!

For those of you who are having a break, or continuing with the postcards, please stay in touch, I have certainly enjoyed you all being a part of this collaboration. I hope at some point that we may all be able to come together to share our books and postcards with each other!
For those continuing with the postcards, I believe that Olley has already communicated with you about how you will be continuing with this great project.
For everyone, please if you can, complete the postcards you have in your possession, if this is not possible then simply return to the originating artist as is.
For those who have chosen to change to the Altered Book Collaboration I will send out a group email within the next week to outline the details.
Kym, I would like to thankyou for your wonderful efforts of setting up the blog and continuing to maintain it, it has been a valuable opportunity to share thoughts and art with others and to be able to connect with other collaborators across the country and the oceans - THANKS!!!

Once again......THANKS!!! to all of YOU for your enthusiasm, participation and collaboration!!!
