Collaboration . . .

My finished Zendala

Heather's finished Zendala

I discovered Heather Cox

through this wonderful internet world of ours.

We participate in a lot of the same projects

and then I discovered her

beautiful Zendala artwork,

I was drawn to her beautiful style

and her presence as an artist.

I then visited her beautiful blog

"Joyfulwise"

and her amazing artwork

can be found here

in her own Etsy shop.

I realized that her style and mine

were quite similar

for creating our Zendalas.
We are always encouraging
each other's work.

I was struck with the thought

of how wonderful it would be

if we collaborated together

on a Zendala.

I reached out to Heather

and she immediately responded

with a lovely

"Yes, let's do this!" 

We decided on a size of 5 x 7

We would each paint 
a background of our own choice
(I chose the new Twinkling H2O's)

and then begin drawing

the Zendala,

then we would mail to each other

and finish the work!
It would then be ours to keep.

Here is my journey . . . 

I was excited when my package arrived from Heather
I was couldn't wait to begin

 Just beginning the process

 So hard to decide where to take it

 It slowly began to evolve for me

how I love the creative process!

I enjoyed the creation of this piece so much

and now I have a keepsake to always remember.

Thank you Heather for saying YES!
Her blog post about this experience
can be found right over here

There have been so many wonderful 

friendships that have come my way in life.

I must say the friends of mine who share 
a love of art

are simply the best!

Try collaborating a piece of your own artwork,
(whatever that might be)

with someone else.

You will gain a new perspective

and have something to treasure for a long time!
I know I sure will.
