I have met the most amazing, talented people this year. The blogosphere is a world all to itself. Anne Harwell from Annechovie is one of these people. Visit her blog and see what I am talking about. She is an artist and paints all different types of things, but her chairs are one my favorites. I sent a tissue box with her chairs on it as a thank you for a wonderful post she did on me.
I was in the shower thinking (I do my best thinking there) about projects for the fall and winter. Anne’s artwork popped in my head, I thought how wonderful to collaborate with her. Put her art on my art. A new twist. I work mostly with vintage images and I am finding that there are so many artists work that would look great on what I do.
So, here is the first of what I hope to be many fun projects. The tissue box and matches will be done in limited quantities.
Enjoy.
