Liquid Topaz: All is Well

"Liquid Topaz, page 159," 5x7inches, mixed media, copyright 2011 Shelley M. House.

Finally! The last page from my altered book project, Liquid Topaz, is complete. The story ends with a celebration of a few of my favorite things: a labyrinth, a mantra, and my violin.

eyes warmed, All is well.
fruits, cheeses, spiced bowstrings;
sharing, All is well.

My original plan was to cut the finished pages out of the book and frame them. I’ve change my mind after seeing how much people enjoy the book intact.
