My name is Lesley Jacobs and I am Linn's daughter. I appreciate all of your dear thoughts and memories shared here. I miss my mom every single day and I hold her dear and close to my heart. It was her ability to see the world through optimistic and curious eyes, and enjoy every minute that has inspired me in life. There isn't a moment to lose, and there is so much to enjoy. Color, whimsy, connections with friends and family, exploration of the inner and outer worlds... My mom loved and appreciated life and all of those people who loved her. Her artist friends and co-conspirators were her cherished creative touchpoints and she relished each and every project that we collaborated on together. I am finding myself revved up to start another "go round" so I can get back in the creative groove with the gang. I wish you all could have known my mom Linn. She'd have gathered you up, encouraged playful exploration, and jubilant friendship.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800204831337656455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-48953725269295905592010-05-20T18:44:00.936-04:002010-05-20T18:44:00.936-04:00I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed ...I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed reading all the True Colors posts, and the artists whose work I've discovered by doing so.

This really had an effect on me in many ways. <br /><br />If you get a chance, stop by to see a piece I'm working on which was inspired by this post and by Linn's artwork. It includes a little tribute to Linn embroidered into the silk fabric remnant. <br /><br />http://remnantsofolde.com/2010/05/19/news-and-such/ <br /><br />Thanks for doing this True Colors series, Seth.

This was a woman who wrote in the introduction to her journal, "I love boggy places." Looking today at the pages she created for Sunset, I find in her circle/spiral motifs an expression of wholeness, completeness, overlaid by bright tendrils, rays of the sun that eventually reach every corner. The words that passed between us, her unmistakable joy of each moment, are treasured pieces of the light she embodied.<br /><br />I was compelled to comment on this portion of this post for its wisdom and crispness of expressing a state of mind that I aspire to daily. <br /><br />Could you be so kind as to clarify who wrote this? I believe it is Marylinn, but the signatures are above other paragraphs?<br /><br />Thanks! ...

She a gentle, wise soul. I had printed out many email exchanges I had with her - always an interesting and deep perspective, and these two friends have remarked, she had a special gift of finding the right words. And she worked that wit and wisdom into the art she shared with us. *blowing kisses toward the sky*michelle wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15424558212275956184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7526011052298598356.post-69175630677991757702010-05-17T15:40:10.179-04:002010-05-17T15:40:10.179-04:00My condolences to Linn Jacobs family and friends. ...My condolences to Linn Jacobs family and friends.

I was not familiar with the work of Linn Jacobs, but from these heartfelt memories shared by Lynne and Marylinn, it's true to say that she was such a giving and optimistic person which was reflected in her art. Love the thought of her colors- yellow green and copper- even the selection sounds magical and as Marylinn wrote-"...her unmistakable joy of each moment, are treasured pieces of the light she embodied." Just beautful- a wonderful tribute to a shining soul. Thank you.Jill Zaheerhttp://jazworksblogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
