I have been playing with this floating organza bag concept in all the RR calendars that I have been working on but they just don't photographs well so in an attempt to have my art look better online (yes this was some thing that I was having issues with but in the end the art will always led the way) I have somewhat ditched my organza and have it somewhat hidden in the background opposed to covering the whole image like I have been doing ... but that said I did cover the image with a burnt transparency (thanks Jen for the inspiration! http://www.identityseven.com/) so once more I have a made something that does not photograph well :)

Arting up the front and inside of an old book was the goal. I used a old jewish prayer book as my base. this is what the words say:

The miracle of Us... is not easily defined because, all we really know...

this is a close up of the inside I used domanos as a base so the book would not lay flat onto its self.


"remember who you are"
...but who was I?

"befor you were born, I was yours and before I was born.. you were mine."
