Whale of a Time

I felt a weird pang of seasonal jealousy when I read my friend's blog. Sara, who lives in Australia, talked about her daughter's school celebrating the Winter Solstice. I love the long days of summer, and felt sad being reminded that at the coming solstice, our days will begin to shorten. The minutes of sunshine that I begin losing, she will be gaining. Ah well. Sunny days couldn't happen't happen to a better person.

Here's what she's been up to:
A printmaker, book artist and paper snipper, she created this card for a friend who is moving away. I am in love with it. This accordion folded card is bound like a book. The images are reminiscent of where they live in Aussieland.


Having artist friends is a good thing.
