Above, the wonderful outcome of a  Halloween project involving 32 artists and hosted by  a master of collaborative artistic projects - Red Dog Scott.  The artistic interpretations of various literary works of Edgar Allen Poe are bursting with imagination, ingenuity and creativity!  A treasured book to add to my growing library of one-of-a-kind  and original works.

Maude - my new grandpuppy!

My daughter Jillian caught the "Yorkie-bug" last weekend while she was visiting here and today at 12:30 pm she picks up "Maude". Can you stand how cute she is? She was born August 23rd, is 3 pounds right now and will be between 5-6 pounds full grown. She is a cross breed Maltese-Yorkie.

Jungian Muses and Sun-kissed Glimpses of Fabric Collages in Process

Without this playing with fantasy no creative work has ever yet come to birth. The debt we owe to the play of imagination is incalculable.  - Carl Jung

Jungian Musings and My Passion Flower - Views of New Blossoms from the Warmth of my Home

"New Passion" 20 x 28 inch photo

From the living fountain of instinct flows everything that is creative; hence the unconscious is not merely conditioned by history, but is the very source of the creative impulse. It is like Nature herself.. prodigiously conservative, and yet transcending her own historical conditions in her acts of creation.    - Carl Jung

Jillian's Final Project - The "Got Milk?" Pillow

Above, several views of Jillian's final project of the weekend and her favorite. Eleanor is happy too, having been able to be 'front and center' in this creation.

I'll be looking forward to seeing her living room with her new creations. There were several times where I sat back watching her and reflecting on how quickly her childhood seemed to flash by. All in all, a great weekend and I'm grateful she'll have these little tokens as a memory.  Times like this to me are precious. 

Thanks for letting me share our combined mom and daughter efforts with you.

We had so much fun building this pillow.  I love the little rose flowers, Jill in her kindergarten photo (she is 27 now) and just the liveliness of the colors and images.   I'm sure it will be a great conversation piece in her living room!

Stay tune for Pillow #3!!

Until we finally settled on this -

"The Postal Stamp" - 9 x 9.5 inches digital

Gale's challenge at Paper Whimsy was to create something from the photograph of the door as pictured below.   This is my entry. And click here for more details on the challenge.  There will also be a random draw for a $25.00 gift certificate for anyone that submits.

Do you recognize some of the elements from a previous collage?  Seems, the PW girl and Eleanor are sisters...they share clothes with their other sister from Pringle Hill Studio  :0)  Although the PW girl made her own signature butterfly wings!
