Melissa's Collage

I had a wonderful weekend with two of my grandchildren. We were catching up on a shopping trip promised to them for Christmas and drove to Victoria....a 3 hour drive from here. I was exhausted when I got home but it was worth it. They are growing up so fast. One has just moved to her own apartment, and her younger sister made this collage for her her. It's done with painted papers cut to shape and eyes cut from magazines, all collaged onto a background. Grandma asked for one of her own to hang in her office, Melissa said it took her two hours to do in art class, but I told her Grandma's worth it. I hope I get one too! Isn't it amazing?

Introduction

My name is Gladys Love. I am a textile artist, quilter, teacher, designer and author. I also enjoy landscape gardening, knitting and drawing. In fact, if it has fibre in it or has anything to do with fibre, I will probably love working with it. Fabric, paper, plants, wool….. you name it.

Luckily I have a husband who likes to cook and totally supports me when I get going on a project! And that’s what has allowed me the time to have a book proposal accepted by C&T Publishing. The end result, two years later, is “Embellishing with Anything” by none other than Gladys Love (with help of a lot of her friends)! The picture up top is of the cover. You may recognize it in your local shop one day. To be released April 1st, 2009!
