Have any of you been following the ArtySoulSister's Journals? What a blast this has been!
Marianne has asked that her sleek black cat, Sjimmie be featured on all of our pages for her journal. I've been waiting for him and apparantly so has my cat, Bliss!
Who's that behind the stained glass window? It's a kitty out in the cold snow. Wait...it's Sjimmie!!
He finally made his long journey from the Netherlands to Rhode Island!
After we brought him in from the cold he ate a good meal, groomed himself and snuggled up to Bliss. Even Emma the crazy dog was enjoying his company!
The three new pals spent a lot of time in the studio because they love the sunlight in there.
Sjimmie kept looking at the beautiful birth mandala his mother Marianne made for me.
I could tell he was getting homesick.
It was hard saying goodbye to him but he knows he can come back anytime.
Please bring your mother next time Sjimmie!
Now he's on his way with a first class ticket to London to see Joss. Once she adds her pages he'll be going home to tell Marianne about his many adventures!
Bye-bye Sjimmie!! It's been so much fun spending time with you ;)
Hopefully I'll get the back pages done soon!! Stay tuned...
Love the colors and composition. Good art.

ReplyDeleteSo amazingly done! Thank you so much dear!
And you have really captured his spirit.
He is only shy for a moment just like he looked through that beautiful studio window. But then there is no stopping him! If he would have stayed longer he would have taken over your whole house ;)
And that is really Sjimmie there with Bliss and Emma, totally relaxed.
Oh I am in Toronto and getting homesick now as well.........

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful feel each picture has, very much like the raven mandala, with a real rhythm to the completed piece.
ReplyDeleteI thought the stained glass page was just fabulous...then I read on...and on... and came to the very last page...That's when my jaw hit the keyboard! Dang! You are magical Laurel! (my jaw is still hanging open...)
