She is a wonderful artist living in Australia. I think these book collaborations are like a collaborative journal where we both work in the books. I have done many of these and find it to be challenging and exciting. For those new to this idea- I make 2 books- one will be for her to start and I start one- I mail it to her she finishes mine and starts hers then mails my finished one back to me along with her start- I finish it and mail it back to her so we each get a completed book with both of us having worked on them. My start on the inside is my response to all the hate and hateful legislation being passed in this country. The other side is about us each carrying our own idea of what home means inside us. I will show each side flat and standing up as it can.
You are so good at this Terry, and Julia is a wonderful artist too.
ReplyDeleteYou must have an amazing collection! ♥♥♥
I do and it is so dear to me. Like you are dear to me!
DeleteHi Terry, I can't wait to see them, and to work in them. Doing art with you is such an honour, a little nervous as to what I will be doing, but note with interest that the colours you have done the background remind me of the Australian red earth. Hmm, might be inspired already :)) both by your titles/descriptions and the colours.......x
ReplyDeleteI will get them in the mail in the coming week! I am honored you wanted to collaborate with me!
DeletePretty cool!
ReplyDeletethanks
DeleteI just love what you did with the silhouettes.
ReplyDeletethanks John
DeleteHi Terry,
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you understand too, the joy of creating, not wanting to stop, but the frustration sometimes of not stopping and then overworking things, the balancing act. Looking forward to receiving the books!!!!!!.x
Oh my. This one looks like fun! I started an Art Journal Swap/Hop with 7 art friends. Um, that was 2 years ago. However, everyone is still on board with it. Life just got in the way...and at least 3 of them made their way back to the owners completed. I am hopeful that I will have mine back soon! Too many involved...and because we are close friends, nobody really pressed the deadlines. Live and learn! Hope you will post the finished results. Aloha.
ReplyDeleteI will do that.
DeleteLove this!! Keep us posted with photos as that beautiful book evolves! xo
ReplyDeleteWill do Emily
