You're going to thank me for THIS introduction. After participating in Michelle Wards Street Team Challenge this month (post your "Crushes") I had to circle back and proclaim my Crush on the work of Jane Cather. I came to know Jane's work when I sold her brilliant rubber stamps. Jane works in many mediums and indeed, her Life is a work of art. I wanted to share a few images from her 1995 mini book.
To quote a favorite line from the movie ELLING: "...if you don't like this, I'm going to kill myself..."
Well, that's a little dramatic, but please do enjoy....
Well? Do you LOVE it all?
lisa, thanks for the introduction to jane. it's a cather-crush. delightful images....especially love that first page with the creature heads on sticks.

Hi Lisa, and yes, I LOVE IT ALL! Night is good, because when it's really really late you encounter less of those irritating humans...

Add me to the crush list - for many years, from dolls to rubber stamps. I do always think of Jane's art when Halloween rolls around.

My favorite is the society of the unseen! Does anyone carry her stamps now? She's fabu, and I don't say that about just any Tom, Dick or Jane!

Leau,
I believe that you can still order a Rubber Moon catalog. They are supposed to be creating an updated site to go online very soon.The current online catalog excludes Marylinn Kelly and Jane. I guess that they ran out of space (?) but plan to update the online offering so that you won't have to send in $10 JUST to order your favorite images. I plan to clamor for more of Jane and Marylinn!!!

Yes...love them ALL, but my favorite,
is Anna, at night, clearing out those bad seeds!!!

Night is the best time of all! There is nothing in that surrounding blackness to limit one, is there?

How wonderful! And I can totally relate to the title of that mini book!
