My 1st etsy sale!!!







What a fantastic b-day gift, my 1st etsy sale!! My 2 Green Beatles - Love collages sold today. How happy! I am so excited to think someone is going to be sharing the joy I put into these pieces. I will miss seeing them... enjoy Claire.

The images are up-cycled from a calendar from the American Heart Association, an organization I donate to regularly. Both my parents have advanced heart disease & being the leading cause of death in our country, so it is something I am passionate about. 

Each piece is based on a based-love based song: The Word & The End... Almost everyone is familiar with the simple but complex lines of The End from Abby Road.  But The Word is one of my favorites and a song with intense meaning!

The Word has been my mantra for the past year (& most played song on my mp3). It's one of those Beatles song's that you know it when you hear it, but really can't recall it by name. It's from the Rubber Soul album & its a fun song about the message of love. One of the underrated/under played song... especially when you hear the words:
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, 
It's sunshine
It's the word, love

In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, 
the word is good

Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like me 
Spread the word I'm thinking of 
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine, 
It's the word, love

Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and the bad books that I have read
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me 
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love

Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, It's sunshine,
It's the word, love
- The Beatles
