Yesterday I got a card in the mail from someone I met briefly a few years ago. Her name is Jean K. Brown, and she is a mixed-media artist in Illinois. You can find her on Facebook, she is calling herself “Artism”.
Jean bought the book and then got a cold. She did exactly what I was hoping folks would do, make a map of it!!! Go Jean!
Jean sent this to me on a card. That just makes me so happy. It is almost a game, this map, a sort of Shoots and Ladders trip through a cold. There is “Toxic Territory” and “Robe Rage” (ha!), “Fever Falls” and “Cold Front”. She even made a legend. I love this.
Thanks Jean, I hope you read this and know how much I loved your mail art.
Listen to Me!
I LOVE THIS!!! I just got over this very same journey..Mucinex and All!!! Please tell Jean thanks for me too! <3 Selah
Me too Selah. The bar is high now!
I had this same cold two weeks ago, right before I had to fly to Virginia to teach three full classes. I pulled out all the guns, and would have had a couple more things on my legend, but basically, this was it. OH, and add the panic I felt at being that sick before such a huge event. Happy to say it all worked out, but I could have used this map to find my way a little more easily..:)
This pushed me over the edge…I just ordered the book
Martha, so glad to hear it! I hope we get many more contributions over here, I am constantly amazed at what this class/book inspires. It makes me giddy!
This is awesome! I think I like it so much because I myself am in bed with a respitory virus that is kicking my butt!
love this. and the perfect thing to make while you’re sick…art heals!
