I am in a Colors Round Robin and have just completed my spread in Joyce's book. The book is titled "Fragments" and she chose the colors robin's egg blue and antique paper. I decided to do a fragmented page and to write a short poem (well, if it's about fragments, it wouldn't be long; would it?).

I really like it. I see some familiar images in it. I guess I should say, some of my favorite images in it. And I find the colors soothing.

Love this spread, Joanne! How have you been? How is the wrist healing? I have a question...on a previous post you show a digital collage you did...tell me how you get the original image to seperate so well from the original background? I am SO not versed in Photo Shop yet, but I am assuming that is how you did it somehow?
Love that digi collage too...very nicely done!

Oh what a wonderful spread, Joanne! I love the raven and your use of the human eye! The baby with wings is adorable an adorable image - is that from your own collage sheet collection? Your poetry always amazes me - this one is another beautiful one!
Your new banner is delightful! Did you create it yourself?
hugs,

Very nicely done. I'm sure she will love it. I like how you have used both the words and the design to get the idea of a fragment across. xo, Fran

Joanne, one more thing. You have a new banner! I like it! Have you had it long, and I've just missed it? I hope not because I think it's great.

Joanne, this is so serene, calm and beautiful.
The poem itself is an amazing work. Having the face appear gradually throughout the eggs is brilliant.

This is terrific Joanne. I love how you combine your own writing with your artwork. And gosh, isn't it a nightmare trying to cut this stuff out and glue it down when you are still sorta' one handed? YIKES! I admire you for being able to manage to continue working as you have!
