When a door opens...

My beautiful granddaughter Healey will be finishing High School this year, then off to college in the fall. It's hard to imagine her gone from the place she has been for 17 years, and I am already missing her.  She's probably going to be across the country on the second part of her life's adventure.

On one of our outings to the Exploratorium in San Francisco, I took photos of Healey and her brother in a room with walls that reflected distorted images.  Healey wore braids that day, a young woman but still a child in my heart. I printed the image on rice paper and constructed the "door frame" out of painted magazine pages,  then added some stamping and script. The Arts in the Cards trading group's theme for February was "When a door opens"  and I thought of Healey passing through a door to new adventures and experiences.
