Lisbeth's Got a Brand New Bag

Lisbeth recently received this pretty handmade bag in the mail from my on-line friend Karen of KaHolly: Portraits of Our Natural World. Karen saw that Lis has been loving all things green lately and decided to surprise her with this sweet gift. Lisbeth loves to get mail and was thrilled to find this package in her mailbox. Thankyou for being so thoughtful, Karen! Lisbeth loves her brand new bag!!

Lisbeth's Blue Bird Angels Mandala

My daughter Lisbeth suffered a traumatic brain injury when she contracted a viral illness in 1988 at the age of six, and she continues to be challenged by multiple difficulties including uncontrolled seizures, behavioral disturbances, learning disabilities and developmental delay. Despite these challenges, Lisbeth's mighty spirit and creativity are remarkably intact. She creates extraordinarily beautiful cut paper snowflakes - hundreds of them (it is ironic that a cluster of seizures is called a "flurry...") and like real snowflakes, each one is unique. Lisbeth sometimes refers to her creations as "brains," which is poignant, for in the making of each snowflake/mandala, it is as if she is recreating her brain. Lisbeth sees figures, animals, and objects in the cutout shapes of each one of her designs, and says that these are what the brain is thinking!
