I dream of living in a place where I can gather fallen manzenita leaves and make them beautiful with colors they've never worn before!! /And Eucalyptus leaves! I sometimes buy a big bunch of those at the grocery store and arrange them all over the house. I tried to do some dying with them, but nothing much happened - but I know if I lived where they actually fell from the tree I would be able to beautilate them amazingly!<br />I love every thing to come up with! I was making some pillowcases from an old white sheet and I suddenly thought! Lynn would turn this nice sturdy but soft fabric into book pages, so I quit making pillowcases and started thinking little books!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065566596642714859.post-30848576070735630252012-03-31T23:44:46.600-07:002012-03-31T23:44:46.600-07:00Lots of lovely goodies to feast upon as always.

I tend to paint big and am having a terrible time trying to do small postcard size sketches--there's no room.

I love hearing about the parts of the creative process that both sets us on fire or the latter, creates a sense of distress until we find our comfort zone within that which is new. All of the snippets and art made me smile and want to look a little more closely. I have no doubt you'll continue to stretch yourself out across these bigger pages and I will enjoy the view from here as you do so.

I read the comments here from your friends and each one's heart beat comes through in the words they use to express how much they appreciate what you do. I have to agree with the size issue. My cloth is smaller then most folks and when I think bigger i get startled by my thoughts...panic and sweat soon follows and i put the piece aside thinking - another day perhaps. that's why my fascicles are the size - "hand book" size. And, i saw that little acorn flower and a smile came to me as though i knew a secret! each one of your images make me want to write a poem. find knew words for what i see and then tie them to balloons and set them free so everyone could share in the vision you bring. what joy to have such a bounty for my weekend to return to over and over again - and where did i put my graphite pencil. love to the acorn flower - xxx anihenrietta (aka ani aka zani)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07233449217099900553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065566596642714859.post-84414498198676983482012-03-24T04:36:33.263-07:002012-03-24T04:36:33.263-07:00I love this post - your honesty helps me be okay w...I love this post - your honesty helps me be okay with all my silly struggles!

Your first picture made me think of the ...Hi Lynne,<br />Your first picture made me think of the letter b(this page is brought to you by the letter b!)-bird, blue, balloon, and then as I read your words-big! It is interesting to read of your process of grappling with change. I like what you have shared, very interesting and beautiful pages. I also love the cardboard faces-it is good painting on cardboard-such a lovely texture and colour. <br />Yesterday at work we had a clearout and a packing day for our move, and two lovely blank paged books-both quite big, turned up and had apparently been there for years. The paper is a bit glossy so I think it would be lovely for pen drawing. Anyway, I nabbed them! Something else-I was reading art journalling, and one of the writers described how she gessoed pages, shut them for a short time and then opened them, incorporating the tears and holes into her work-I like that idea and when you said your pages were very linear it made me wonder if you could try that for a random start!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15941415622199071141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065566596642714859.post-71298713933081788252012-03-23T22:15:22.296-07:002012-03-23T22:15:22.296-07:00well what a delicious post, with so many treats fo...well what a delicious post, with so many treats for the eye. and I love the story of process. I like your gentle way of saying things "did not make my eyes smile". I'm going to borrow that!<br /><br />and I totally identify with the shock of moving from small to larger surfaces. I started my visual art with 5x7" cards and felt the awkwardness of larger spaces.<br /><br />I liked your story of how you moved from your unease with the large space to letting that go, rather than brooding and fussing over it as some of us (me) might do!ZenDotStudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06051368546505731081noreply@blogger.com
