inspirational women

i just received my lovely print from port2port press along with the beautiful photo that inspired the print. everything about it is beautiful. the subtle difference in the 2 shades of ink on the print are amazing and i could just stare at the photo forever.

"I'm so impressed, both with the photography (and what looks like lovely letterpress on the edge there), and with the ability to actually complete these projects and get them in the mail. Beauty and follow-through. I dare to dream."~pensive volcano.

i posted my photo on flickr and this was the first comment i received. it is so true. you can tell mav has put thought into every detail of her work, right down to the packaging, which is a simple idea, but with lovely execution and it fits the print and photos perfectly. i can't wait to frame these and i think i will incorporate the words as well.

i so often create things, but then they just sit there and i do not follow through with my original intention. congrats, Mav! looking forward to your next endeavor.

some other amazing ladies are starting a new project as well. check out the new blog, sew green. it is great to see such talented ladies working together on such an important mission.

here is a little glimpse of what i did over the weekend, instead of completing my page long "to do" list.
