I'm glad to hear you have also joined this year's edition of 'A Letter a Week', and am excited to follow the evolution of your alphabet(s)!<br />Thanks also for your thoughts about my Grandma...it's true that many wonderful moments & memories - things I haven't thought about for years - have been surfacing this past week. I feel lucky to have so many reasons to smile...<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-11741998682407364442013-01-02T20:30:19.706+01:002013-01-02T20:30:19.706+01:00Thank you for stopping by, Sophia, and for your ki...Thank you for stopping by, Sophia, and for your kindness...I think knowing my Grandma is at peace helps a lot. She enjoyed - and fully appreciated - so many wonderful experiences in her lifetime, and she will always be a part of her family and friends and other people she touched during her nine decades.<br />I am quite amused by the link between making polenta and these 'marbled' cubes, and wonder what surprises the kitchen holds for me this year!<br />Happy 2013!

It's been a lot of fun to join the inspiring group of artists you've brought together for ALaW...and so interesting to see how many different ways the magical 26 letters of our alphabet can be interpreted. I just love the potential inherent in the merging of letters/words & visual art.<br />I appreciate your kind words about my Grandma, and am indeed taking comfort from all of the wonderful memories that stretch back to my childhood...<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-40190246005045289472013-01-02T20:04:47.298+01:002013-01-02T20:04:47.298+01:00Thanks, Helen!

In all honesty, it felt a bit 'lazy' to create a version of 'marbled' paper without size, mordant, pigment, etc., but I like that it did at least originate with oil suspended on water. Plus it was so much fun to see what could be done with such a casual snapshot of our lunch-in-progress! Someday I may see where else the idea can take me...<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-83338581374846021052013-01-02T19:56:29.503+01:002013-01-02T19:56:29.503+01:00Thank goodness for memories...as time marches on, ...Thank goodness for memories...as time marches on, you realize how rich you are for all of the memories.<br />Thanks so much for following along with me this year, Diane...And, yes - I'll raise my glass to continuing to discover beauty & happiness!<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-76862711929123011902013-01-02T19:46:40.014+01:002013-01-02T19:46:40.014+01:00It is amazing how many memories have come rushing ...It is amazing how many memories have come rushing back this past week, and as I talk with others about their recollections of their grandparents I realize how lucky we are to have such special things to remember about them.<br />And yes, the oil + water thing was pretty neat...I love how the simplest things can take you down unexpected & interesting paths.<br />I'm looking forward to seeing you over on the ALaW 2013 blog this year!<br />- LisaArzigogolarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00963207317966012515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7951870726435716874.post-38446819745691968992013-01-02T19:38:54.047+01:002013-01-02T19:38:54.047+01:00Thank you for your good wishes and thoughts, Ersi....Thank you for your good wishes and thoughts, Ersi.

I am always so amazed at how you approach your work. There are always so many levels. And the fact that you follow through on all those levels is just awesome!<br /><br />I was so sorry to hear about your Grandmother. I hope the memories of her will keep you strong and put a smile on your face.
