a more lyrical life: "The Art of Presentation"

"I love you not for what you are but for what I am when I'm with you"
~roy croft

("when I'm with you" poetry heart)

Today was one of these days that just fell into place...



All the little details seamed to be a lined.

the sun was out and the sky was blue.

I had some projects that needed to be completed and some parcels that needed to be boxed up and sent off.

("knowledge and the skill" packaging)

I have said it many times for me it the end results its the little details, warping things up and sending them off into the world, this is what truly brings joy to me.

(a small peek at one of 3 packages that went out today)

After picking the kids up from school I came home to this:


"The Art of Presentation"
A small interview written by Amanda Crabtree about what inspires me to come up with packing ideas. you can find it in the spring 2009 Belle Armoire jewelry.
It was a nice way to end my day ~

(I worked on a set of found poetry today.
here is just one that I completed: its layers of book pages sewn onto muslin
the words were circled with a
graphite pencil. please click on the photo to read it)

The found poetry is such a clever idea. The layers and stitches are the prefect way to present it!
