I'm so excited! I was fortunate enough to be included in this wonderful new book by artist and author,
Lisa Kettell. She is such a sweet person, and very supportive of other artists. I was so excited when she asked me to be a part of it. She asked me to include one of my fairy creations. The cover of the book is above.
Art Circus! takes the reader on a magical journey into the artistic world where they can discover their creative muse which is waiting to come out and play. It is at heart a technique book for altered artists, but is housed within a wonderful, spectacular fantasy land. The book will bring the reader, the daydreamer, the explorer, the artist, to a place have never been, where they can unleash their artistic dreams and explore hidden worlds through cutting-edge techniques, creative projects, and beautiful images.
The author of this book, Lisa Kettell is a wonderful, wonderful lady, a mixed media artist and writer with years of education and experience in altered art, graphic and print design, business, and marketing.
The
Art Circus is available on Amazon to pre-order, with a release date in Feb '09.
Plus, because of the book, I was mentioned on
Teresa McFayden's blog! Ididn't even know that she knew about me art! Boy, that made my day! Please check out the book on
Amazon, it would make a great gift for someone or yourself! Bye for now!
Well, what a wonderful time we had yesterday (except for the driving through the snow storm part!), we all went to the Nutcracker Ballet presented by Ballet Minnesota. It was wonderful! And Sabrina was able to add to her nutcracker collection, and get a souvenir at the same time.
Here she is waiting somewhat patiently for the show to begin. It was hard to get a good pic inside, but I did my best. I just love the story of the nutcracker, and of course the music. But the best part for me is the dancing, I never get tired of watching ballerinas dance on their toes, how do they do it? They wouldn't allow pix of the performance, of course, but I can tell you they did a fabulous job. If you ever get the chance, you must see it at least once! Bye for now!
These pictures are even more beautiful in the black and white version I think, and makes the snow flakes stand out a bit more. Hope you are enjoying the flakes from inside where it is warm and cozy! Bye for now! :)
