Yesterday, I got a package from my sweet, incredibly talented friend e.b..
That kind of package makes me so excited because Elizabeth gets me very well, and knows what kind of treasures make my heart glow bright.
Inside was this bundle of hand made love with e.b. all over it !
Included in these “kimcushions” were little bits of stuff I recognize, even some fabric remnants I had shared with her,
and best of all,
the loving handy work by my favorite magic maker.
It felt like a big cozy hug from my friend.
A cool thing happened right after I took this pic of myself feeling the love.
My phone rang and it was Elizabeth ! She is in Nebraska taking care of her dad after his knee replacement surgery, and she was missing me just as much as I am missing her.
Our conversation was like another great hug.
I am so very grateful for our heart connection.
Another little bit of synchronicity happened as I was writing this post.
Yesterday right before I received my package from e.b., I was working in my 6X6'” journal with a new stencil I ordered from MaryBeth Shaw’s awesome company, Stencil Girl Products.
When I went to check the name of the stencil this morning so I could include it here, I discovered that it is called : “Connections”.
This is very fitting, and it is also the name of this two page spread I did in my journal.
I used this great stencil designer by artist Wendy Aikins as a background on my pages,
spraying with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Sunflower and Oriental Poppy.
Then, out came the Faber Castell pens and some major doodling happened,
picking up some of the designs I have been using on my Rock Beings.
I guess I am creating my own new language of symbols. Again, making connections throughout my artwork.
I used Twinkling H2O’s to add in my color. The paper in my journal is too porous to do blending with my pens but the H2O’s are watercolors with great pigment so they blended well.
Connections – Art Journal Pages – 2/4/13
So I think this is the theme for the week.
Connection…
a cool one to explore.
What connections are you discovering and celebrating, Beautiful Ones ?
Big, big Love to you !

Synchronicity!!!!
I love the love that you and eb share...it's such a wonderful soul connection...like in some past life the two of you knew one another and have reconnected. And I see this also through the symbols and the art you are making. I'm being serious but you know that because you know I believe deeply about these things.
I like "connection". I'm not sure I'm making any this week so far but I'm going to keep my eyes open. My heart too.
Lovely bundles from EB. Your connections moved straight through the hear and brought you much joy. xox
love this reference to connections....love it !
and i love what you created...it's simply divine !!
and speaking of connections, i know you in person and i know mary beth in person and you're using mary beth's stencils, so somehow we're all together in this....LOL

Such a great post!! I love your new stencil and your 'connections' work. It is so gorgeously Kim-ish.
This is such a happy post. Your stencil looks like fun...I'll have to look for it. And I like how you used it to create your journal spread. I'm loving your recent art with all the little details.
Fabulous post!
