Comments on: The Art of the Zorb http://allisonstrine.com/the-art-of-the-zorb/ Allison Strine creates folk art collages infused with wit, whimsy and wisdom for girls of all ages. Magically transformed into greeting cards, soldered pendants, magnets and artist prints, each collage warms the heart and tickles the bone right next to the funny bone!

I want to Zorb! It also rhymes with my last name: "Korb has gone off to zorb." This summer I chased kids around and taught tree-climbing at my summer camp job. After that, I galloped on horses and rappelled off cliffs in Coyote Canyon near San Miguel, Mexico. Then I went to the UK where I worked as a street musician, was soggy for a week long camping/ hiking trip in Cumbria, worked on an organic farm, and climbed tress to pick wild cherries, which we used to make cherry pie (yum). After that I went to Alaska where I kayaked, braved white water rapids, attempted the most difficult hikes I've ever encountered, and even randomly ran in to one of my co-workers in a small cafe in the middle of nowhere. I love coincidences! Wow! I want to Zorb! It also rhymes with my last name: “Korb has gone off to zorb.”

Spent time appreciating my (now) 6-month old grandson. Renovating my elderly in-laws' house to sell so they can live more simply. Starting a brilliant landscape design (hopefully) for our front yard. Daydreaming of Paris and Italy. :D Tried to create a little bit of art here and there. Spent time appreciating my (now) 6-month old grandson.

I lost my job in February and still have not found a new one. So I guess you could say that this summer is a 'stay-cation' in beautiful Michigan. A day trip to Greenfield Village, a trip to Comerica Park for a Tigers game, and a fun trip to the Detroit zoo....and delightful time crafting and reading in my beautiful backyard garden during the day!

I recognized your work without looking at the signature (only looked to confirm my guess). Of course, I had to tell everyone in the shop that I taught your daughter.
