Like Alice and the White Rabbit I am about to disappear, not down a hole but
over mountains, rivers, forests, and sea

My gift is a large canvass tote bag - useful for shopping, crafts/art materials, an extra bag for holidays etc.
Closing date for comments is midnight GMT Easter Sunday the 31st March 2013 so you have plenty of time.
As I mentioned I am disappearing until after Easter so no more comments or posts from me until then.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the bag looks rather plain and unexciting. However, when unfolded it features one of the latest linocuts done by youngest son.

Hope you have a great time Rosemary. I'm looking forward already to your photo filled posts when you come back and to hear of your adventures abroad.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful tote bag.
Looks like you're off to great adventures again Rosemary!!! Well, I'll be painting my kitchen. Started that a while ago but since I do it all by myself in between other things, it takes quite some time.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you and where you might be on the moment I'm busy with paint and brush.
Bye,
Have a wonderful time,
Marian

Your son's work on linocut is really amazing. I've seen the other works in an ealier post. There's so must detail which needs full concentration and painstaking skills. Its good to disappear from the blogger world once in a while. ave a good vacation.
ReplyDeleteAdios Rosemary - hope this vacation will be an awesome trip south. As for the gorgeous bag, your son did an amazing job, it's really lovely - please throw my name in the hat dear - I love owls....and the moon.....and would love to tuck it into my duffel for shopping on my next trip, a big one coming up in May!!!
