Back to Reality

It's wonderful and exciting and fun to travel........ but also fantastic to be home again and back into things, like sleeping in my own bed, snuggling up to my husband, eating Aussie fare, giving my dog a pat and getting back into my studio and the collaboration! What have you each been up to over the past few weeks? Have you figured out the theme of the book sent to you for round one? Or are you scratching your head with bewilderment! because I knew I'd be away for most of this month I had to move fairly quickly with Olley's book, I wonder if I have 'read' it correctly? It was such fun interpreting Olley's theme! I could see at least two possible stories and also maybe a third......there was no time to dilly dally, so after considering my options I pulled out a selection of my favourite art materials and simply let my intuition and understanding of the theme guide me in piecing together my page. I know we can share some snippets of the books on this blog, so thought it would be okay to share with you an image of the postage box that Olley's book pages will be travelling around in. Olley has requested for each of us to decorate her postage box with Chinese ephemera.....what a brilliant idea! Oh Oh.....I'm a bit rusty on the uploading of images so you will notice that the image of Olley's box and my clue snippet image are above this new post...sorry!!!! (Maybe I can blame it on jet lag!!)
