Beautiful work Stella - I love how you brought your sisters memory into the process of making these too.

Thank you Lin. It's such an honor that she is a part of this too. It's a way of staying connected as well.

These are fantastic, Stella! Really inspiring. I love the coffee tone. I should practice Haikus. I tried it before and failed miserably. It seems like it would be easy but I don't think it is. :) Thanks for mentioning my name. It feels like an honor. Truly love these images!!

Thank you, Manuela! I didn't think I could write haikus either but somehow, I keep trying without even knowing whether they are good enough. I do love your work and you are a constant inspiration so I think it qualifies as an honor. Lol!
