Peta's Whisper - A Clue from Sarah's response...

Peta, I really grew into your Whisper. I wanted to "do another one" - and it was so hard to choose in the first place! Sarah's response was colourful and intense! This clue snippet doesn't really give anything away but does reveal the wonderment of the original theme. I love it! My response bubbled away for a while - I initially felt I couldn't create anything to support the concept, but then, with my usual flurry of "arts and crafts" towards the end of the month, my Whisper came to be and I sadly said goodbye when I sent it on to Tamara .... but not before I took 100 photos!!

Good luck Tamara. You'll have a lot of fun I'm certain.

Hello from Dole in the Jura

Just to make you all really jealous, this is my view from the boat towards town and the view towards the park. It is so beautiful here and the food is amazing. A dream come true! Jen

Documenting our impressions

Tamara posed an interesting question concerning the journaling/documentation of impressions, feeling and thoughts in regard to the books we are each working on. (see Tamaras post below.
I posted the comment below in response to Tamara's question and also decided that it was a good one for all to see and perhaps discuss, thus this post!

I am also documenting down my thoughts on receiving a book and also what goes through my head in terms of what I think the theme is about....the book I am using is a children's picture story book, I have painted some of the pages over with gesso or other acryclic paint, sometimes leaving some of the image or text showing and partly obscured. when I think my page is complete I write a bit about what I decided to do, the technique and materials used I also use bits and pieces of left over, paint, images and collage pieces from the actual artwork, this helps me to remember in a different way about what I've done!It is hard not sharing these words with anyone in the collaboration....perhaps we could each choose half a dozen words from our journals to 'list' with the clue, in no particular order? What do others think?

Shhh....Tamara's Page for Shelly's Book

Time for another clue...this one is of the page Tamara created for Shelly book... This one had me wondering for a while...but I think I got on more or less the right path eventually...not at all sure though!

I'm really finding it a challenge not to share these! I have a little notebook at my workbench where I write a quick reaction to the pieces as they arrive, and then another bit of documenting as I complete the page - is anyone else documenting in any way? And, we can't even share the words!!

My efforts on Shelly's page, which are now winging their way to JacQ, used mica sprays, gold pen, black pen and photoshopped image printed onto the page. I had to go on a mission to find a model to strike a particular pose for the image I wanted to use...thanks to the daughter of my good friends, I got exactly the expression/pose I was imagining!

I'm looking forward to seeing a few more clues up here in the next little while as this next round moves along!

*If you find you're having any difficulties with the blog - give me a yell and I'll do whatever I can to sort them out - it's lots of fun once you get the hang of it!

It's a brand new month!!!

Well, here I am again!
And here we are into another month!!
Are you like me? Are you eagerly watching your letterbox for another book to arrive? Have you completed your pages for Marchs' book? And posted them off already?
Perhaps you are putting the finishing touches to your pages? Or maybe you are stuck on the theme? I hope not!!!!
Whatever stage you are up to, I hope you are enjoying the challenges that the Whispers collaboration is offering you!
If you have the time how about uploading the clue you have produced for your March book.....I'll give Tracey a call and hopefully rectify my problem with uploading photographs....at the moment they are a little too secretive!!

Stay Happy and Creative!
