IF • Fail

April 14, 2008 · 8 Comments

The showy Parrot Tulips were flayed apart by the slashing rain;
and they “failed” to stand up and hold their ground.
Their frail petals and stems seem to be pleading for mercy and seeking help…

    Hi, Lisa,
    I haven’t posted in awhile, but I usually visit your blog every day. Just want to thank you for always making it worth my time to “drop by.” It amazes me what you can create digitally!
    I love your e-stamps!
    Best to you always,
    Carol

    Hola Lisa,
    He estado recorriendo tus trabajos (también http://www.lisarivas.com) tu obra es excelente!
    Creo que tus “web-eStamps”, representan un idea genial, tal vez algún día puedas invitar a otros diseñadores para que aporten a tu proyecto, hace poco me enteré de algo así (colaborativo) pero con cartas de poker: https://www.custom52.com/
    Felicitaciones y un afectuoso saludo desde Buenos Aires

When I take the time to look and to really see and to apply my "foolish" imagination, there are worlds within worlds within worlds to be discovered.

When I allow my eyes to be excited and fascinated and pleased at what they see, I begin a journey, inventing a path to the place I choose to go; and magic happens!
