Beyond Words...

http://aviewbeyondwords.blogspot.com/

I am a mixed media artist. I explore my world, in part, through the creation of collage, painting, layering and taking away in artist books and sculptures.
This blog is where I share my visual art journal in an altered book. Here is where I reflect upon my day through creating art. I also share bookbinding and other art process tutorials, so you can join in on the fun!

Karin, your vibrant art first caught my eye ... and immediately, my soul. I think that's what happens for all your blog's readers ... You are so generous in spirit, so courageous in your healing journey, so nourishing in the beauty you post every day. Your art is so singular ... raw and delicate at once ... mesmerizing in its presence. Thank you! xo

Hi Karin,
I appreciate the courage you convey on your blog and I find your journal inspiring. Thank you for your positive comments about my knit hats. On reading your profile, I discovered that, along with mixed media and collage, we share other interests. I have been meditating and doing yoga for many years, and share some of your awareness concerning diet, the environment, and the need for a more conscious approach to the worlds ills. Great hearing from you. Cindy
