august month twelve - year two polaroid collaboration :: NOSTALGIA ::

It is with mixed emotions that I compost this post.  The twenty-fourth and final post for the W O R D collaboration with Jen of Painted Fish Studio.  This project has been so many things for me.  A creative lifeline,  a godsend, a welcome distraction yet at times a creative challenge and a lesson in discipline and accountability.  I am so thankful to Jen for her constant support, her amazing talent and most of all her friendship.  With all that being said and while I am sad this will conclude the collaboration on our blogs, I am so excited to announce that W O R D :: a polaroid collaboration will be available in book form very soon.  We have decided to self-publish our collaboration.  We have established a website and a blog and will have updates about the book, the creative process and release date there and of course I will keep you updated here as well.  A most sincere thank you to all who commented and were inspired by our collaboration.

Sooo on that note...
