Ellen Lindner: Art & Creativity

I really enjoyed working on this book, which I’m calling Anticipating (Good) Health.

To create it, I used a variety of techniques and materials.  Please click on the image above to better view the layers of paint, textures, hidden words, cheesecloth, sheer fabrics, and hand sewing.

The interior includes a paper flower with Tyvek leaves, a braided stem, and an encouraging bible verse.  (Jeremiah 29:11)  (Click on the image below for a better view.)

The tassle-style “bookmark” tells the story of this little book.  I started it when my husband and I were away from home for a month, while he received medical treatment.  I worked on this book to help me focus on the results of the medical procedure, specifically that of enjoying outdoor activities.

Thankfully, my husband is now doing very well and we’re reaping the rewards of our summer “adventure.”
