the beginning of something wonderful ...

I couldn't wait until tomorrow.
Have been smiling all week
and totally absorbed.
Sometimes it only takes a nudge in a different direction
to help you realise something you have
been trying to say.
Thank you Fiona.
















Just  a small glimpse again at some of the images formed in my 'our' book.  Tomorrow will be such a celebration of what we have done this week when the two books meet again for their photo shoot!

  4. Thanks Noela - we are having fun for sure and I think good things are coming out of it.
    You are right Jennifer - the books, like most things, look better in the flesh.
    Hello Robyn. Lovely to have you come by my blog. I have had many delicious wanders around yours and really love what you do, but also what you say and what show us with others' work.

  5. Susan it is looking so beautiful and the nudges have been in both directions, gentle reminders and rememberings in a way. I said to B tonight - it feels as if my book is going on a first date tomorrow afternoon! So looking forward to it...

  6. My book just needs a few stitches before it is ready for that date! Been deliberating. Still not quite resolved ... Only two folios so not great for Coptic. Think I have worked out an idea - very simple. See you on the dance floor ...
