Closing for winter holidays!

I am closing now for the holidays, will be back on January, 4.

I wish you all a very happy holiday season, a joyful Xmas and a wonderful start of the New Year!

Please don't forget to sign up for the new paper swap:

Paper Swap Januar

Just collect the papers, you have never been using. Maybe your swap partner will love them. You can also gather your own artful papers like drawings, paintings, collages, photos, tags, doodles and stuff you are not sure of and send them on.

Remember everyone is welcome! Just send me an e-mail to lawendula@googlemail.com and you are in!

Stay warm,

yours, LaWendula

The small wisdom is like water in a glass:
clear, transparent, pure.
The great wisdom is like the water in the sea:
dark, mysterious, impenetrable.

For this mosaic I’ve put one of my favorite art installation into the center: „Catherine’s room“ by Bill Viola.
