http://www.lulu.com/spotlight/cheriehanson is the link where my two anthologies of paperback books with art on each page are for sale.
I ordered copies to hold in my hands. How thrilling is that? I have one course left in the UBC-O Continuing studies offerings this winter. The subject of how to set up and organize a blog will be for novices. To date, I am getting 150 hits a day on this site.
my toe cards
Today, I gathered gold into clear bags during the autumnal windy day. Leaves were lifting from the ground flying around me and I thought of what it is like to be a child. If I were a child, I would throw the leaves in the air to watch them caught up and flowing like angels, birds, small air ships, I thought to myself. The most I could work up was enjoyment of the newly raked pile spiraling up and over my head. Too serious to consciously release the yellow leaves, I could still laugh out loud and enjoy the presence of the wind.

I was very pleased that my small canvas mixed media piece I donated to the Salvation Army was in a bidding war and sold for $320. What I have noticed is the value of my work is going up over the last few months.

I am busy creating greeting cards for Christmas which I sell on line for $5 or 5 cards for $20. Today, I had the idea of taking an image that someone had shot of a family group or a loved one, manipulate it and make handmade cards from the image. I am going to be posting this possibility on linked in.
Tonight, I will finish reading Daniel H. Pink’s books A Whole New Mind and Drive. Fascinating to be reading about the creative community.
If you are reading my blog, then that would be you. Blessings out.
