Somerset in Love, that is!
This issue containing my first published work is now available! It is beautifully done, with lots of inspiring and pretty layouts for you to drool over (thank you Amanda Belle Nolan). I had an amazing time being a part of Marilyn Healey's brainchild. This magazine features two groups of books, as Marilyn had a red group and a pink group going. Mine was part of the pink group.
The two pages below are from my book. We each filled out a questionnaire about the how and why's of the project. You can read about each artist's inspiration and ideas in their chapter.
As you may notice, my style is distinctly different from many of the players in the group. I struggled with feeling like I was a big enough "player" to be included with these amazing gals. When I saw the images being included, and which one of mine had been picked, I had an anxiety attack over my style and "fitting-in"-ness. Marilyn assured me that she invited me because she liked my style. I can only hope to keep growing as an artist, and to be invited to play along in another fat book group.

The interesting thing about this is the dress and champagne are 3-D. Check out my photos and you can see the difference.

Got my copy in the mail this morning. Congrats. Love the magazines that Stampington and Company puts out.
Congratulations, Lee, having your lovely artwork displayed in
"Somerset". I am thoroughly in agreement with "Lori". Your lady in her beautiful gown and the champagne bottle, are my favorites. Keep your creativity flowing. Love, Mrs. C
