Well today was a day from hell...seriously hit the ground running and was so damn busy...I was exhausted!!! Drained!!! At my wits end!!! (Is that a dramatic start for you? giggle) AND then a miracle occurred...the sweetness of friendship!
Michael pulled the mail and I could SEE a BULKY package!!! Zines I yell very excited! But I say to Michael, there is some thing MORE in that package...it should be flat...its bulging!!! Its from Elsie the Famous Chinese Zinester!!!!
I can barely contain myself...slowly I open up the envie...I peak in...there is MORE...She sent me Carsie, the paper doll that I made for her and Elsie Embellished her!!! She sent her to me to cheer me up...I am going to share her with my art friends... and give out her hearts she carries and then return her to Elsie!!!
Photos do not do this doll justace! What I did was the cut out doll and then painted and embossed with gelly pens, the rest Elsie did! She is beautiful and made me cry!
Also, she started a friendship journal with me as well...mine was started in November 2005, but with all the pain I have been in I haven't had a chance to work in it and send it back to her. Now that I am feeling so much better that is going to be at the top of my list!!!
I haven't even read the zines yet!!! Giggle!
She did her first personal non-art zine! About the Boston Zine Fair! Looks interesting...she recycled other paper, her work and then folded the pages so you couldn't see what was originally on the paper...BRILLIANT!!!!
