I've just caught up on the most recent entries, and I like how each spread has its own personality yet the altered text/found poetry leaves no confusion that the project is weaving itself together as a whole through all of its parts. I'm happy you shared the step-by-step on this one. I really like the effect you achieved here with the layers of gold, copper and purple. Seeing your success, I'm going to have to look into finding a masquepen and giving it a try. Thanks for the continuing inspiration.

It's interesting that you write about the art of happiness today since I just put a little note on my blog about happy things. If you want to look . . . www.theword-spunjourney.blogspot.com. Enjoy your marvelous art!! I do! Karen Karen,
