Post box


about a month ago
i indulged in a little 
online retail therapy.
and then the post office went on strike...



so when they started delivering last week 
i got a mail box full of 
delicious surprises
;) 




a pile of books! 


and some cushion cover by Skinny laMinx
in her new collection rough cuts


light box




this ship wad anchored on the horizon a little while ago. 
it was intriguing, fascinated me. 

 it caught the light 
in the most amazing ways. 



Evolution of an idea

was to get to know a little piece of me

and this is where i ended, many, many layers later: 


i love the journey it took me on. 
layers and layers of messages, signs and meanings...

she uses the platinum printing process which creates a photographic print 
with a great range of gray tones.
