"Disappearing Act" is a new collage made with found materials and some Angelina fibers. Nature is an inspiration. I like the owl hiding in the forest.

I like January 1st! It is an opportunity to start over. I planned to do so many things today but fate interfered. Loud fireworks till 2pm. Beautiful show! Someone ran off the road into my ditch at 3pm - so no sleep. Fortunately no one was injured. But I did do one thing I wanted. I watched the birds and walked about the yard - enjoying God's brilliant flowers! The Azaleas and Roses are blooming! It was so peaceful! I reread this poem that I found in 2017.

I created this piece about two months ago for a dear friend. Ms. Felecia West had been the head librarian at the Denham Springs/Walker Library since it opened. She was a great friend of those who loved books and art. Her fellow librarians asked me to create this piece as a gift from them. She got to enjoy it before she passed. She will be greatly missed. I was very fortunate to have been her friend. Special thanks to Edie Albe for machine quilting it so quickly. She made it special.
