a gift for you

I’m a low-key, no-frills, hassle-free holiday type of woman.  I’m happiest creating so that’s what I’ve been doing this holiday season while everyone else hustles and bustles.  But I do have a gift for all of you!  A thank you for playing along in my giveaway last week (the comments gave me lots of ideas for my Etsy shop); a ‘happy holidays no matter what you celebrate…I’m celebrating YOU’ kind of gift.

Rainer Maria Rilke’s Letter to a Young Poet is one of my favorite books.  There are many passages that move me to tears, to a place of comfort, to a state of mind that allows me to take a deep breath no matter what is going on in the world.  I took one of my favorite passages and created a collage sheet just for you!

Rilke: Love The Questions {Collage Sheet in PDF* Format}

This little present includes the sheet of quotes/sentences you see above, the same sheet in reverse (for easy image transfers) and one page of the excerpt alone, framed for your viewing pleasure.  I hope it brings you many hours of art-making joy!

*The PDF is a large file (so that you can print it with no problem).

    Susan,

    Thank you for your generosity. The quote is lovely. Now to contemplate how these words will manifest themselves into a new piece of art.

    Many blessings to you for a wonderful New Year.

    Letters to a Young Poet is one of the books I gave my husband. He is a romantic and I knew that the book would appeal to him. To have some of the quotes from it on a transfer sheet is fabulous! Thanks.

    I am so grateful to be present to your daily inspiration. Thanks for being there.

    Merry Christmas to you and your family, Susan!

    Thank you for your beautiful gift! I’m a painter but, like so many, am moved and inspired by thought-provoking verbal passages. At times some of them even make it literally into my art. I appreciate your commitment to the rest of us through your daily inspirations. Thank you for that as well.

    Susan;

    Not only have you inspired me this past year but you have given me great tah dah moments that have been life changing.

    Thank you does not seem to be adequate.

    Entahs is a phrase of blessings, may it bring to you great love and peace.
