Rooftop Rockers. I couldn't wait to do this page when I found the words. It took a while to locate the rooftops that I could see in my mind so clearly.  Posted by Hello

Lovely Luna lady of the moon. This one is another one that I redid in my dictionary from one I did in a RR book. The original guidewords were lunar and luna moth. This dictionary didn't have luna moth, so I used moonscape and moth. We have luna moths on our window screens sometimes in the summer. I love to look at them. Posted by Hello

Gypsy. This was originally made in a RR dictionary and copied here. I got lots of help from members of thealteredbooks Yahoo group in finding images. The dictionary I was working in at the time had several pages with songs. This one has Gypsy Woman printed down the side. Posted by Hello

Heart. Posted by Hello

Gravitational gridlock - grief ground.

And the grief,
When it hits,
Is like a wave.
It pulls you under,
And keeps you there.
For a while...in a dark place.
The pain is a heavy weight,
Crashing from all sides.
Time ceases.
And then it eases.
Gradually freeing you
To return to the light...
Until the next swell.

Written after my dad's suicide.

Composition. I copied a Piet Mondrian painting for this page. This was the first page that I used acrylic paints on. I was really surprised to find that some of them were opaque and some were transparent. Posted by Hello

Promising, proclamation, propose, proposition, prospect. I challanged myself to use just the images from one magazine.  Posted by Hello

Chamelian. I spotted this wild guy in a printer's magazine. The spread is my idea of a natural setting that would cause him to change to these colors. Posted by Hello
