Are You Experienced?
Yes, Jimi Hendrix...Thanks to Elizabeth Bunsen!
You know the song.
Are You Experienced?
Well, I think that previous Elizabeth Bunsen buyers, would know the Connection to that songs question, that I am suggesting.
What arrived in the mail yesterday, put me in a special group of people that have
"Experienced" artist extraordinaire, Elizabeth Bunsen.
Recently on Facebook, Elizabeth displayed some of her incredible eco dyed yarns and asked which color people liked the best.
I immediately responded...Saffron!
She dyes papers, and fabrics and yarns... in all things natural...
The Saffron, was the Most Beautiful to me.
Some days later, I read her blog.
She has a separate online site, where she Sells her art.
I went there.
Right before my eyes...I love the timing of special moments...was the Tiny Stone, that was wrapped in the Saffron dyed yarn...that I had previously, Favorited!
The "Buy" button, was the next thing I remembered!
I've never bought from Elizabeth before, so I could tell from the pictures, that there would be papers, fabrics, but I wasn't really sure what else.
Well...
The Package came in a non descript mailer.
The Signs that Something Special was about to happen, came Early....
or...she Had Me with her first String!
Second, a layer of lime green tissue wrapped in a "To Die For Yarn"...was the Second Sign that this was going to be...
Memorable.
I Opened, and Opened, and Opened.
How could a small mailer, hold such Wonder? :)
Truth is...I still hadn't even got to the Part That I Had Bought!
See, I contacted Elizabeth about sending her some leaves from my South Texas Garden...
and apparently she Sweetened the pie with...well..extra sweetness!
Somehow, I get the feeling, that she would have Done That, Anyway...
The Experience was like a Christmas that you dream about...
At this point in the postings, I Still haven't got to the Purchase....
Finally....the Purchase...
Purples, lavenders, limes and orange...
A Beautiful Zine of blues and rusts and browns...
What will I DO with all of this?
WAIT.
I will wait.
Like the Controlled Anticipation that came while opening the Gift, I will take my time and Know what I want to do with Each Piece...
Why Hurry?
Until then, the Whole Thing, will stay Intact and be Displayed, Just Like It Came.
I have plenty of table tops, just waiting for a Change!
...finally...a Thanks from EB
No.
Thanks to YOU...EB!
