Hi Elly,

Just checked out your book on line - really nice - very inspirational!  Glad to see you put your work in a book!  Fantastic!

thanks for 'friending' me - I've really enjoyed looking at your work. I love your use of colour and texture - found the 'travel' pieces on your website very exciting. I haven't started the sketchbook yet - still mulling over ways to approach it.  

Elly,

I just checked out your Blurb book. For the last couple of years I have been assisting people with photographic projects and never dreamed of doing a Blurb project of artwork. If your ears are burning over the next several days, that is me telling the artists in my family/community about your project and the use of Blurb. Kudos!

First of all, the artwork in your selected works is solid.  You could have done nothing more than post page-after-page of spreads and it would be fine with me.  Your venture into the world of commentary mixed with a variety of layouts makes the book particularly captivating.  That being said, the section that starts with page 12 and goes thru 19 is all the same layout...and for me, I would have liked for you to force me to stop and read/view/ponder through those pages.  Odd that it may sound, the stop-start rhythm of the pages with commentary and varied layouts seems to be interrupted by a flow of sameness in layout in that one section. That may simply be me, being impatient and wanting to hear more of what you felt of the work on those pages...they are certainly worthy of spending time to enjoy.

I commend you for the project.  My best feedback would be to tell you make more of these!

Hello Arthousecoopfriends,

Just thought I'd let you know I have just published a small book with selected paintings. To browse the book, click on http://www.blurb.com/books/1536704 Would be nice to have some feedback.

Thanks, Elly. The photos are transferred by T Shirt transfer method! I just put the paper in my computer printer and photocopy the old photos onto it and then iron it on to the canvas or paper...

Hi Elly,

I just signed up with Art House Co-op and I'm in the process of getting back into making art again on a more regular basis. I've signed up with the Sketchbook Project to get me going. Your artwork captured my attention! Very inspiring to see.

Thank you kindly.

Hi Elly,

Took a breather from ArtHouse....got busier with school. I need to look at the new projects as I do like doing them.

Hi Elly! Let me know when you get your sketchbook... I can't wait to get started again!
