Glimpse of a Chinese Garden – Glen Heath – theme Flowers

I have Glen’s book and it’s gorgeous!   She experimented with rice paper and Chinese inks and brushes and watercolour – and then spray mounted the fragile rice paper onto stronger paper for the book.

The back has some lovely individualistic touches as well, which I’m not going to show so there’s a surprise in store :>)

Her theme is Flowers – more details in the book.

Nina’s had just arrived safely with Glen and so I got a preview – it’s beautiful with a fabulous glow and atmosphere!  Glen is going to photograph it and she’s going to email me the photos and a piece to put on here for everyone.  Glen wanted you to know in the meatime that she thinks it’s stunning!

– and I need chocolate too after seeing Nina’s and Glen’s IRL!  dark chocolate liquers would do the trick maybe?

Lindsay’s Book Flies On

Lindsay’s book is now on its way to Casey in France. I was so sad to see it leave this morning.

Lindsay’s little canoe (above) passes through Tuscany on its way to where? That’s all I’m saying! You’ll have to wait for Casey to show you.

The story of Vivien, published by Ronell.

Robyn’s Sketchbook – Sneak Preview

I’ve finally decided to share Robyn’s beautiful work with the world. In the following post is a preview. I’ve finished painting my pages but haven’t attached them yet. Here’s a blurred-out view of some of my first tries – I don’t want to give too much away! Robyn said she hadn’t come up with a theme, but one has sort of defined itself. I’ll leave it to you to decide if its obvious when you get your hands on the book. And don’t worry, Nina! I won’t mail it out just yet. I know you need a little time to breathe in between….

Check out my Slide Show!

Lindsay’s Book Arrives in Record Time!

It’s seems almost before it was posted Lindsay’s book is here in Tuscany! Good Ol’ Poste Italiane must have known how impatient I was to receive it. And it’s beautiful! And it comes with some exciting bits and pieces that I couldn’t wait to start playing with.

No, you can’t peek inside.

Look at this gorgeous river weaving it’s way though the mountains and look at those canoes, inspired by Lindsay’s own passion for the sport and her love of waterways.

And now I’m working on carrying Lindsay’s water theme into my pages. First of all I have to decide what I’m going to add to that last half-page. Yum. I’ve never thought about collage before.
