Using Creative Power.

It is when you are really living in the present - working, thinking, lost, absorbed in something you care about very much, that you are living spiritually....For I know that the energy of the creative impulse comes from love and all its manifestations - admiration, compassion, glowing respect, gratitude, praise, tenderness, adoration, enthusiasm. And why should we all use our creative power? Because there is nothing that makes people so generous, joyful, lively, bold, and compassionate.

New Letterpress Artist

colette is a sonoma area artist and all of her prints are made from a hand-cut plate with letters cut individually. the prints are pressed by hand [talk about hand-made]. this creates a few quirks: sometimes the plates are not perfectly square, the borders are (meant to be) rough, the ink coverage is different for every print.

sounds like the fabulous peculiarities of life, doesn't it?

the inked area is about 7x9, the paper is 9x12; we have signed, limited edition prints, unframed.

two of my favorites:
"may my heart (all ways) always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living"
-e.e. cummings

thanks is for giving [forgiving].
