If You Touch Me.

2010-09-04T17:13:00.000-07:00

"If you touch me,
I just think I'll scream,
'cause it's been so long
since someone challenged me...

Made me think
'bout the way things are,
made me think
about the way they could be..."

Laiza's Postcard.

2010-03-23T02:40:00.000-07:00

Laiza, a very creative friend that makes beautiful illustrations & creates lovely melodies ~ has a project running now - I think is related to her thesis project.
I had received a postcard made by her, done with watercolors and black ink. The project requires for you to get involved and modify it in anyway you want.

This is what I got in my mail. (I was so excited when I received it!)

This is how it looks now:

Thanks for letting me participate, Laizi.
