Received from Marilyn Morrison

I received this carton of goodies today from Marilyn Morrison. What a range of good art: a tin shrine, a delightful tiny matchbox shrine, an art doll, a tiny "Sweet Annie" journal with pictures and quotes, and some beaded inchies. Thank you (again) Marilyn.

Carol Desjarlais

Carol Desjarlais of Maine, USA received her carton.

She wrote: I am thrilled... absolutely thrilled. I have been saving up baubles and daubles and making tiny things to share in the cartons.... I have made something no one else makes and you will be thrilled, I know, for I send the story along with it.

Here's the link to Carol's blog post.

Bottle Art Doll

A couple of weeks back, my neighbour (Fred) asked me if I could use this bottle. I took one look and the bottle spoke to me. I knew right away what it was, in art language, so I said, "Yes, I'll give it a head and wings." Fred laughed, because he's now accustomed to me saying things like that. The doll came together quickly and beautifully. The next day, I showed it to Fred, and he was astounded.

Though I'd really like to have kept her myself, the doll is now on its way to someone in one of the Cartons.

Cartons Galore!

After weeks of "life" getting in the way of "real life", I finally managed to play catch up and get all the cartons in progress wrapped and labeled, ready to go. Now I'm back on schedule, thank goodness.

This week, I mailed cartons out to the following artists: Kathy Rose, Deana Hager, Lois Richter, Mieke Bronckers, Barbara St. Jacques, Michele Witchell, Carol Desjarlais, Joan Roland, Rhonda Gregory, Patti Edmon, Brittney Young, Joan Roland, and Mollye Self.

Art received from Robin Krieger

What a wonderful surprise it was to unpack this carton and discover the treasures within: an art doll, for my collection, A box filled with beads, several lengths of fibres, and a tiny art journal. You can't see it on the photo, but the journal has pockets, and the pockets contain tags that can be pulled out. It takes real skill to do that with a journal this small!

Thank you very much, Robin!

Art received from Lynne White

This gorgeous carton arrived from Lynne White today. The carton is decorated with a map and slide frames. What a great way to use old maps!
Inside I found a piece of the famous Sedona red rock. Lynne also created this beautifully worked Asian-themed matchbox shrine, with lots of attention to detail. Also in the carton were an enclosed mesh tag, a fabric transfer portrait, and a baggie of tiny beads.
Thank you, Lynne!
