Oh my! I'm in love with this print already! A handful of books have changed my life in 24 years, however the first book that changed my life was Death Be Not Proud. I had never read anything like it before and I cried my way through the end of it. It was the first book that really penetrated the everyday and left me feeling as though I knew nothing.

I hope you feel better soon!

so sad to hear that your back is out. it is bad enough to be in pain but when it keeps you away from the art room then that is just unacceptable. hope you heal quickly.

i can't think of a book that changed my life but i can think of several that haunted me for weeks after i finished. the road by cormac mccarthey is one. most people i know who read it didn't like it, but like it or not it certainly makes you think. i'm reading life is a verb by patti digh right now and it has the potential to change my life. it has certainly awkakened the knowledge that i have not truly been living for some time now.

your collage is wonderful as always. i have a perfect spot for it in my new little home. hee hee

Hi Jen I haven't chatted with you in a long time. I hope you feel better soon!

Oh no... so sorry to hear about your back! I hope you are feeling better soon. Love this print! I am a big fan of books... I have a huge pile beside my bed!! :)

Ouch! Sorry to hear about your back, this print this beautiful! I'm a reader and always have three or four books on the go, I would have to say the most recent book to have changed my perspective on life would have to be little bee.

Oh my, hope your back heals quickly. There is nothing quite like back pain, hope you are being well taken care of!

Hmmm, I have read so many books, it's hard to just pin point one. I think for a fun writing style I immensely enjoyed Eat Pray Love and the Twilight series. I love being caught up in a book until 3 in the morning. For a really moving read, I loved Borrowed Time by Paul Monette.

Pick me. Pick me! : )

oh you poor thing! i hope you are feeling better soon! back pain is NO GOOD. it is awful!

Oh man, I didn't know you hurt your back. That is one of the worst pains. My mom had the same issue and it totally immobilized her. It was so painful too. I hope you are feeling better. If you do a reverse karate kick, will the disk go back where it needs to - just kidding, don't try it!

You do such beautiful work. This one is so fun, especially for book lovers. My dream vacation is curling up with a book. There are so many books that have influenced me. I love all of David McCullough's bibliographies...they give me so much energy!

I'm so sorry to hear about your back! My mom is dealing with a fractured disk in her back right now. Not fun at all! I am sending healing thoughts!

I need to really think about your book question... favorites that come to mind...Contact by Carl Sagan, The giving tree by Shel Silverstein, Harry Potter Series, books by John Irving, oh I know, The Omnivore's Dilemma!!

It's STUNNING jeN! LOVE it and the butterfly, wOwza!

I just posted the NOW poster contest on my blog, I bet you could create the winning image. I love your work. I am going to enter a piece too, not sure what yet.

Awesome project thanks for sharing the details. I'm visiting from SITS

That is simply stunning! You have some serious talent.

That is VERY cool. I would never know it was paper! Jen

Gorgeous!

Is it all paper?

Yep, it's all paper!

I love sunflowers! After seeing this even more! You've done a great job!

love the artwork :) and happy Easter!

Happy Easter Jennifer! Thanks for sharing your newest illustrations with us. I can't wait to finish all of my current painting projects so I can get back to my sorely neglected paper projects. Hope you guys have a wonderful day.

you are such a prolific artist! lately, i'm lucky if i get a couple of good hours in the art room each week. i just keep telling myself that this too shall pass!

Charming! Love them.
