This is wonderful... makes me think of a time-table, hanging in a station by the tracks to no-where (or now-here...)
This is so beautiful!!Warmest Regards,Cat
That is just gorgeous Lisa. So much texture and detail. I love it!
This is a swoon moment for sure! Lisa, I'm totally in love with this piece. Wow!
I love all the textures in this. Makes me think of a down home winter curled up on the old rocker in front of the fire. Thanks for sharing it.
fabulous
Hi Lisa! Wow I was going to write almost word for word what Jo wrote. So what is left to say?!?!? It's amazing and so are you. : )
If only this piece could tell a story - the conversations at the printer's office, family news below the covers, the waves lapping over the stones telling of their distance travelled, appointments kept, clothes worn.
A diary without words. Lovely.
this one seems a little different for you--- still very textured and layered but grid-like also
Lisa, this is just an incredible piece. I love the color palette...and the fact that you used vintage wood, mother of pearl buttons, vintage fabrics.....so many wonderful things!
This is so amazing! I love all the old worn bits and pieces. All the things I love most.
The patchworking is a nice effect...almost like a game of checkers - one step forward, two steps across...then you draw the eye to the top and the right to those two vintage cogs or clockwork gears that almost look like war medals. Lots of juicy detail and thought, Lisa. Stunning.
such a wealth of earthy textures and tones and those little beach stones at the bottom, all on that grid, SWOON is right.
lIKE A BEAUTIFULL OLD WORN OUT QUILT, FULL OF STORIES,---- SO LOVE THE PEPPLES ON THE BUTTOM, AND ALL THE BITS AND PIECES THAT MAKES IT ALL MAGICAL.
LOVE AND HUGS TO YOU LISA,
DORTHE
This is stunning with gorgeous details, Lisa. Just a little different from your other styles and ever so wonderful. You never cease to amaze me!
