Good Morning:
I thought I might take this opportunity to stop by this morning while my mom's resting. I had a look out the window a moment ago and it looks windy and crisp. The Palm Trees across the street are whipping every which-a-way. The howling wind makes my mini-schnauzer nervous and/or giddy (he's not sure yet which way he feels). Personally, I love the wind. I love the sound of it creeping around the corners of the house. I love the movement it brings. Everything in the garden is alive in the wind. The birds can be seen riding the waves, soaring and darting. Outside my windows, there's life in the wind. How I envy those soaring birds...
I've found it comes very easily lately to get lost in sights, lost in thoughts and lost in books. Late at night and early in the morning hours, while my mom is sleeping/waking...sleeping/waking I've re-discovered "Alice". I haven't read "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" and "Through The Looking Glass" for years. What a lovely place to run away to...so many Anthropomorphic animals and flowers. I remember as a little girl (maybe seven and a half exactly?) being fascinated by Anthropomorphic animals and I reckon that may be why I portray my own animals in such a way within my collages. And...although I was never a fan of Disney's portrayal of "Alice", I do remember the "Alice In Wonderland" ride being my most favorite ride in Disneyland. Well, that's neither here nor there, but I truly am inspired by the magic within the books. I am currently enjoying the silly banter between Alice and Humpty Dumpty.
Oops...I hear my mom calling. She's ready for some oatmeal. I'll quickly share a few pictures of my newer pieces. I haven't worked this last week, but these are current as of a couple weeks ago.
And speaking of Anthropomorphic animals, this collage is called "Rabbit's Celebration". It's a 6" x 8" on canvas
Here's a close-up of the Celebrating Rabbit
And these are my two newest ACEOs...
Rabbit Visits The Country ~ my 203rd ACEO
Amelia's Lovely Girls ~ my 204th ACEO
I haven't the time to post a link to my Etsy shop, but these are all available there. You can find the link in the upper left hand corner.
I'm off...back to reality.
Thanks for having a peek at my blog as I truly appreciate it.

i love this walk thru your version of wonderland...it is so much fun...blessings today, rebecca
ahhhh...i too love the sound of the wind..the rustling of the dried leaves on the patio...the soft melodic tune of my wind chimes.. the swirl of hugs it sends around me..
ahhhhh yes.... :)
It's very windy here this morning Kim. Kind of scary actually, it's so strong. One wonders how the smaller birds fare in such horrible weather. As always I love your work. I wish I could pick you up and put you into a happier place. (((HUGS))) I was always a little bit afraid of the Alice in Wonderland story. We had a book that had all the old drawings in it and the one that sticks out most in my mind is one of Alice standing next to a table holding a small bottle and her neck is about 3 feet tall. That picture terrified me. I am sure it kept me from drinking anything out of a tiny bottle for years! XXOO

Your new collages are beautiful, Kim. Love the Rabbit!
Hope reality is not treating you too harshly. How is your mom doing?
I'm thinking of you...and send lots of love!
