To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
 Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

"I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.
I make up my own mind about how good or bad or indifferent it is.
After that the critics can write what they please.
I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

A beautiful collage of textures and imagery. I love the fontwork. Great idea to frame this the way you did. It looks like a beautiful colored paper collage in a shadow box. I seem to recall there's a CD or a band with this name, and this would be perfect as a cover. Excellent once again, Mizzem! Have a fabby weekend and hope and you write me back because I am wracking my already befeebled and befuddled brain,lol. -Mizz-connected ;^P

Actually, the spiral dance is a reflection of the laziness of pagans ;o0). See, it use to be called the square dance. You know dosey do, grab your partner by the hand, etc. But pagans being pagans started cutting corners, and the rest as the say - "is history!" (He says with a straight face, ROFL inside) :O)
