Su Blackwell is an artist who works predominantly within the realm of paper. Armed with a scalpel, she transforms the pages of old books into three dimensional works of art. She finds her books at used book stores, reads them for inspiration, and then creates these amazing dioramas set in either wood or glass boxes. I hope you enjoy them as I have.

ReplyDeleteGood Morning Michael - What is your avatar today?
ReplyDeleteTina - Those are fantastic. I found them to be amazing. I wonder why some people get all the talent.
I have the sprinkler man coming any minute to set up the sprinkler system for the warm weather that we still don't have yet. Must have breakfast. Be back later.
Tinka ....
ReplyDeleteThat is my new dream car...a 2012 Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe....all in white...angelic...like me ya know.
notice the fine teak tonneau? Same teak floorboards and in the boot..
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteTina those are fabulous! I have really realized lately that art is composed of so many things and the best art is usually outside the box.
Thank you for sharing!
Good Morning Lynn - Happy Spring Day to you. Our sun is actually shining. Is yours?
ReplyDeleteMichael - Will you take me for a ride in your new angelic car? It's my kind of car too.
Those are amazing. The detail is unbelievable. I agree with Tinka, all the talent goes to a select few and I am not in that group.
ReplyDeleteMichael, nice ride.
Lynn, So true. How is your painting coming along?
Greetings and happy day to all the Owls.
yes Tinka...
ReplyDeletewe'll go down and look at that house on the coast....I just gotta figure out how I wanna come up with the $530,000.00 to get it!!
oh...and pick the crystal pattern for the picnic kit in the boot...
SacBarb...hi...
ReplyDeleteWhere are you in your recovery? Is it going normally or do you feel you are getting back to normal quickly? Did your doctor give you a time frame?

ReplyDeleteHi Sac-Barb - I just woke from my nap and see you have landed in the nest. How are you doing now? Great I hope.
ReplyDeleteMichael - You will have no trouble coming up with that amount of money. I know that. I have the right crystal picnic set in mind. I will order it.
I taped America Idol last night so I am going to snuggle down and watch that. I am retired, why can't I have a lazy day?
Michael & Tinka, I am doing very well in my recovery. Thanks for asking. I had a doctor appointment yesterday and he has given me permission to drive. Up to now, I have been relegated to the back seat and have had to use a pillow between me and the seat belt because of the air bags, in case of an accident. Chad told him that he was tired of doing the 'driving Miss Daisey' thing. So I will be driving myself to church Saturday night. Yay!
ReplyDeletethats great Barb!
ReplyDeleteWell I find that kind of stressful...lol...to me!
Can you get a police escort the first couple of times...for my peace of mind?
Barb - I am happy to hear of your increasing recovery. I know what it's like to feel like "Driving Miss Daisy". Before my daughter got a car with "smart, all the way around air bags I sat in the back seat when I was in her car. It was on the advice of my doctor who said with my height and osteo it would be dangerous to be in the front. When air bags first came out little children would sit in the front seat. It's a tragedy that some children died before they decided babies and little children should never be in the front.
ReplyDeleteTINA...those are incredible. How does someone even think to do that. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteFrom yesterday...so sorry that those stupid people picked your car for thier stupidness. Thankfully the daughter didn't go ahead and walk into that.
When I lived in L.A some friends and I decided to take a long weekend and go to SD and Tijuanna. I drove and when we decided to go to TJ in picked a closed lot...$12 to park in as I thought it would be safer. Yeah right. We come back from TJ and I ask my friends where the car was. They replied "right there, with the back window broken" SOB...someone broke out my back driver's side window and stole my awesome leather jacket. That ruined the weekend as we had to head back and get the window fixed. Oh, and I MADE the parking attendent give me back my $12!!
SAC BARB...how wonderful that you are doing so well. YAY! How much longer is Chad staying?
ReplyDeleteI've got a freaking migraine...so I'll mad this quick....but prolly not accurate......so sorry~
ReplyDeleteMo~ thought of you when i found these pics! sorry about the TJ incident.....it sucks doesn't it? I realized today when i started actually scrapbooking (and not shopping) that they took the playbill and tickets from my daughter's musical.....I was going to use those for the very first page of her scrapbook! STUPID PEOPLE!!!! prolly what gave me the migraine~

Michael Congrats on being first today. I like your choice of cars. Will you buy me one, too? Pretty please?
ReplyDeleteTina Those are really cool! Gee, that artist is kind of an ultimate scrap-booker. No pun intended. ;)
ReplyDeleteTinka That artist sure does have talent and also a lot of patience, I would think.
ReplyDeleteLynnD Waving a wing at you. I hope things are continuing to improve for your brother.
ReplyDeleteSacBarb Woo hoo! I'm glad to read that you're doing well enough to start driving again. LOL @ Chad's Driving Miss Daisy remark.
ReplyDeleteMO Oh, I would have been soooo pissed off to have my car damaged like that in a lot you pay to park in! Sorry it ruined that weekend for you.
ReplyDeleteTina Oh, shit! I'm so sorry they got those momentos of your daughter's performance. I know you must have been so disappointed when you realized that. :(
