I had said I'd drive to Portland to see this and if I had the time I definitely would DO IT just to see this in person. This is so amazing and magnificent I do hope to see hold it some day!!!

Happy New year! I thought I'd ...Hi again Kim! Happy New year! I thought I'd pop over to give you some more info on ICE. The theme is open slather; the only specifications are size and the fact that it must be collage (mixed media can be incorporated). The theme I've chosen for my series is "Green" because this is something I've been thinking about doing for a while. You don't actually have to have a theme. You could just make 13 different collages and tht could be your submission. Here's the link to get a flavour for it:<br />http://outofsight.co.nz/Dale/collage.htm<br />The fee is $40 of your own currency but that is well worth it for what you get in return. It would be so cool to have you on board. We could swap ideas and give each other encouragement, etc. It would be so neat! No pressure of course. We could even do complementary collages - perhaps you could explore the connotations of "Green" in Australia. But I get ahead of myself...lol!Debrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628982861593852257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997006366084400829.post-77596243859901370682010-01-02T05:55:34.371+10:002010-01-02T05:55:34.371+10:00i am just blissfully giddy that this tremendous ma...i am just blissfully giddy that this tremendous masterpiece is on its way to me. i adore this book! it's an artistic masterpiece and so touching and meaningful as well. i cannot believe with all that you've had going on with the move, work, and sickies that you did so much!<br /><br />i will let you know when it gets here, though i'm quite certain you'll hear my weeeeeeeees and squeals from across the many oceans and miles. :)<br /><br />happy new year, sweet friend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997006366084400829.post-9816638870717379412010-01-01T11:04:41.500+10:002010-01-01T11:04:41.500+10:00Dame Kim, please come to my blog!

It is wonderful to see your book take form in such a beautiful manner from conception to sharing your work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11427569009529036611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997006366084400829.post-51209823212190554532009-12-29T08:29:09.051+10:002009-12-29T08:29:09.051+10:00Hi ya, Kim!

I know these photos have already featured on Pulp Redux, but I just can't get enough of them!! I'm glad to see Seth has spotlighted YOU on his inspiration station! Absolutely he made the right choice there! This book you've created is so thoroughly amazing, I'm spotlighting you on my next posting (I'll call you number 8 - the surprise feature artist from the MeMe award follow up). <br /><br />I'm about to do some research today via the New Zealand National Library's Archival digitisation collection. Isn't it so exciting that libraries are doing this; I feel proud to be able to call myself a librarian!<br /><br />You're fantastic Kim! I can't wait to see what you get up to next year!!!Debrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628982861593852257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997006366084400829.post-61585325550752032462009-12-29T04:29:09.069+10:002009-12-29T04:29:09.069+10:00This is a gorgeous book... happiest of new years t...This is a gorgeous book... happiest of new years to you, roxannerivergardenstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03018601892508498148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6997006366084400829.post-84425148624298222602009-12-28T07:18:39.622+10:002009-12-28T07:18:39.622+10:00What an incredible creation Kim.

As I read each of your paragraphs, I am spellbound by the intricate story, the treasures that you've included, the whole story of the word Anzac, the story of the war and the struggles of the people, lives lost, and the honor and tribute that you have paid to those that fought for your country - binding everyone together. It's touching, poignant, detailed and love all of the intricate items you've inlcuded. Thanks for this wonderful story to read!
