I am new to this site but I won’t be for long. I am in grandmother love with your web site. I would marry you but gramps would be grumpy. What you are doing speaks to me LOUDLY. I am compulsive about glue and have started to make glued books. Yes they are altered but not arty yet. Soon (in the next year) I will find my way to having my own web site. In the mean time I think you are beautiful inside and out. Thank you for expressing yourself and inspiring me to grow up to be like you. It is too bad I am so much older than you now … it makes it difficult. However, I will not turn aside in my developement. Your fan club. granpam in MN

I have found a FreeMason artifact that was in a box of family things that were past down to me. Would you know how I could find out what it is and how old it is. It is special because you hold the top of the piece and spin the circle in the middle and while it is spinning it shows the Masonic Masons freemason symbol as it turns
but if it is still it shows only symbols of nothing. It has a black background and gold for the symbols. If you could put me in the right direction it would be very sweet of you.

Karen, I love your site and your writing is really moving. I have lived very close to Hwy 37 and you took me right back there. I love making altered books and have almost completed a tribute to my Dad using old pictures that I copied on to transparencies. My Dad has been gone for 15 years and I still miss him. The book has been a healing trip down memory lane and the book you did about your Mom was an inspiration to me.
Your San Francisco daytrip was also very nostalgic for me. Thank you and also thanks for your generosity with your time and clipart. Sally

How beautifully you write… expressing the feeling so well. I dread the passing of either of my parents…indeed any of my family… but to lose a parent must be heartbreaking, however inevetable. You must miss your Mother so much but I’m sure having such a loving family as you seem to have… you will help each other to remember the happy times.

I love your writing. It’s full of little details, that some people overlook. Life’s like that isn’t it? A friend of mine is making altered books. She has just finished one on India and is starting one on hands. I’ll have to show her your site.:)

This was beautiful, and I can relate. Your stories of the birds fit in so well. It’s also the first Easter without my Mom. Her birthday was this the 10th of this month and the whole month feels haunted by her.

I found your site, btw, when I googled ‘poetry and voice’ and came across the article you wrote on voice and altered books. Your projects of altered books fascinate me.
