"I do believe in an everyday sort of magic...the inexplicable connectedness we sometimes experience with places, people, works of art and the like; the eerie appropriateness of moments of synchronicity; the whispered voice, the hidden presence, when we think we're alone." Charles de Lint

Open Your Mind

"Hope is heavy at times, and other times it becomes your wings and lifts you up. That's the thing about hope....sometimes you carry it and sometimes it carries you." Kristin Kory

I made a couple neutral master collage sheets this morning using pages from books and music. I used soft matte gel medium to glue everything down and as a top coat. This spatula works well spreading the glue and smoothing things out...and there's no brush to clean up!

I used old calendar pages as my substrate...and this particular bird happen to land on back of one of my cutoffs.

I layered up another Words of Encouragement tag....this time I used a piece of ripped fabric for the tie. The mastersheet cutoff is layered between Open Your Mind...and a found project.

The stripes are watercolored on artists tape...an experiment from a while ago. I think it makes a striking background for the tags.

    Oh, you have been puttering joyfully, MaryAnn! I take such pleasure in imagining the little leaps of pleasure you took as your open mind and heart made connections and layers.
