my best Self & being a rotten meditator

by Laura&Tina, in category Working Table

Dear Tina, How are you? I am slowly finding my way back to a routine. Yesterday morning I picked a book off my bookshelf by SARK called, “Change Your Life Without Getting out of Bed.” I  like this idea. Within the first few pages she wrote about her friend Rebecca Latimer, author of “You’re Not… Read More

Working Table 3-9-10

by Laura&Tina, in category Working Table

I am presently in NH teaching an Altered Books Workshop, so my working table looks a little different. This is one of my background pages, along with a little envelope I made from an old book page written in a language I do not know. I just love how the text looked visually on the… Read More

ReVision 2

by lauratwotina, in category Books, Vision/ReVision

Hi Tina,
Your Vision post of the bread and soup reminded me of the warmth and comfort of a handmade quilt on a chilly day. The time we spend sharing the seemingly ordinary things are often the most extraordinary. As I was working I thought about crazy quilt patterns and the random, fragmentation of life. xoL

Creating Happiness

by lauratwotina, in category Books

I have thought a lot about our collaborative work in the last few days. Questions emerged from this thought regarding what this new format means to us as artists. How can we go deeper into our own understanding of the work? I have resolved, it will come from our continuous reflection of the work and… Read More

Cookies and Tea

by Laura&Tina, in category Books

I am sitting down after a good day in the studio with some tea and cookies.  Yum…  In reading about the gallery show you saw, I flipped back to the beginning of Daniel Pink’s book.  He says: “Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play, Meaning.  These six senses increasingly will guide our lives and shape our world….The… Read More

Thinking about Daniel Pink…

by Laura&Tina, in category Books, Inspiration

Dear Tina~ Daniel Pink has moved me as well. I feel a new sense of optimism and excitement about the future thinking about what he calls, “The Conceptual Age”.

Daniel Pink and Story

Dear Laura, Daniel Pink has moved me to think of the future very differently.  I have a lot to say about the beginning of the book, but let me share a few thoughts on storytelling.
