Well, Artfest is just around the corner (I'm still in total disbelief) and I've been challenged by Heather of
Paper Follies to post what is currently on my project table.
Currently, I'm working on a postcard swap for Alpha Stamps hosted by Lenna Andrews of
Creative Swaps. (See the resulting works of art
here.) I'm cutting it close to the wire (like usual!) but it will be out in the mail by Monday (cross my fingers--I mean, cross my heart!) :) I thought I'd also post my daughter Maya's project table, which sits right next to mine.
Currently, she is working on an altered book! She was inspired by the altered book I brought home from a recent
RAFT workshop I took last month and decided to start her own.
Her art is so precious, it warms my heart! Right now as I write, she is at the table playing with paper punches. I enjoy making art with her and I'm glad we have something special we can share with each other.

Such beautiful women...I love the possibilities that the twine presents! AND I LOVE that you posted your daughter's project table too! Her altered book is absolutely adorable...I think kids are such natural artists, so free and willing to experiment! Thanks for the lovely inspiration. Peace ~ Heather

Thank you, Layla! I am lucky to have Maya by my side--she's my muse! I love to watch her make art. When she's really "into" a project, her tongue sticks out a little and it is just so cute! I was just in the art room today cleaning up and re-organizing and she wanted me to stay in there so she could make some art. I'm glad we share art in common, too. I see a lot of me as a kid in her when she's making art. It is inspiring! :)
