Narratives. They carry their own beauty and sing  their own meaning. And each artist has their own rhythm.

Lesley Magwood Fraser tells the tale of Cailleach, the stranger that hides within.   She’s that girl that was, now she is the wise crone wearing a suit of wrinkled skin.  

Her joy? To ride in winter on the backs of creatures - the blue faced daughter of the winter sun. A walk through life. FAB LMF :-)!

Trashbooks - non-linear stories seem to be doing the rounds – I’m CHUFFED to get my own all the way from Greece.  No words, but MAN! , the story this boekie tells...

The sandpaper divulges  Katarina’s sandpo history, and ZALOP – well Kat joined at the very beginning of its promotion.  Asemics – her timely entrance to Asemics 16 # 3. There's paper from the grocer, tickets to somewhere, collage and watercolor paper -  O yes,  no words but for sure a full length novel – FAB # 2 MomKat :-) X

From Edward Schaeffer:  Marcel Proust lost his cane while writing In Search of Lost Time. It’s the enigma of memory you know.  With the necessity of reflection though, the cane was found. Pity, I would have liked to have been the Madame Proust visited. What a great Tall Tale. 

From Judith Heartsong – Grow Green Things.  There is a lyrical song in Judiths heart. She loves to grow things in the mountain terrace outside her studio.  With earth beneath her bare feet she waters and tends, whilst watching butterflies, bugs and lizards that have found their way to her Green Place.  Its quiet and peaceful there, a color soaked place. Judith – I SEE what you see – thank you for the Heart Song.

Thank you to you all for your wonderful descriptions - not fanciful plottings these :-) XX

Great blog, Cheryl. I too am loving my trashpo/sandpo/asemic book from Katerina. (I blogged it but the post got lost among 5,000 other posts that day.) And nice to see all the others here. That Proust letter is a riot. I saw one elsewhere also, I covet them.

Another great blog Madame Penn. I like the dreamy photo on the Trashpo book :-)) (it's a great book btw, I have another one of those). I also really like the ghosts on Lesley's piece.

Love these compilations! LMF is integrating her talents more and more. The Proust note is great, it's so... it's so Proustian. I have some vague remembrance of things past.
