Swimming in the Lines of Haiku - Spotlight on Christine L. Villa

     One of the good things that happened to me last Friday was a special post written by Kirsten Cliff on her blog, Swimming in the Lines of Haiku. It was a kind and generous act because she featured my latest accomplishments - Frameless Sky (the very first haiga and tanka art video journal) and my two children's publication (The Eskalets and The Magic Paintbrush).

     Here's the link.

 

     In case you don't know, Kirsten Cliff has two online shops right now. One is Haiku On (www.cafepress.com/haikuon), a store where you can buy t-shirts such as the one I'm wearing in this picture.

 

 

Another one is Elliot Books, a bookstore operating 24/7 through New Zealand's Trade Me. To read the blog post announcing this latest venture with her husband, click here.

 

     I'm so glad that Kirsten and I believe in dreams. Now we both see our present beautifully unfolding.

 

August Blog Bash, Day 6

     Today's feature for August Blog Bash 2012 is yours truly. I'm sharing two of my favorite works, which I hope all of Kathy Uyen Nguyen's followers will enjoy.  

       The first one is my "Fairy Moon." Among the numerous cross stitch designs I've diligently worked on, this is my favorite. I used to sew a lot and was hooked on adding sparkly beads to my cross stitch designs. This took the longest to finish. But like magic, it turned out more enchanting than I expected.    

       The next one has something to do with magic, too. It's my first published children's story entitled The Magic Paintbrush. I still can't believe that it's the #1 Top 7 knowonder! stories (as voted by readers). I think Alexa has something to do with it. ;-)

       Please read Kathy Uyen Nguyen's write-up for Day 6 here and check out the daily posts to discover all the authors/artists featured for the whole month. So far, I've been very impressed with these recent contributers: S. M. Abeles (Day 1), Jessica Tremblay (Day 2), Johannes S. H. Bjerg (Day 3), Lana Phillips (Day 4), and Stella Pierides (Aug. 5).
