inflamed situation from Claudia McGill

This piece speaks for itself. The hands and feet of the characters are fab too. The birdie has the perfect understated hand gesture to drive her point home.. Thank you very much Claudia.

A Guido original of course

Feel like a million

from the envelope to the gifts inside these pieces of MA blew me away. This is one that 'must' be held to feel the 100% cotton paper. Carina used a graphic press and said it is an "easy peasy" etching process. The details, the imagery, the entire package is one of my favorites. AND a self portrait inside a translucent envelope, and a map of an area of Finland as a backdrop. So lucky to have received this unique and thoughtful piece.…

Banana family outing

This card wasn't signed. Is this from you Dean Marks? There is something about these banana people that makes me laugh. Maybe the guy in front needs another glass of wine. Thanks to whoever sent it.

why are these peopled gathered?

This photo intrigues me. there seems to be more than one story here. tiny bits of newsprint on intersecting threads can be moved - but - only to the next intersection. I will spend some time with this one. That isn't a bride carrying a wreath is it? First communion veil? Literal translations usually don't appeal to me, hmmm. Thank you Laurence.…
