The Rarest Flowers....

I really like this page, I think it is so pretty in person. It didn't scan the greatest, there is no murky dark spot. And everything is coated with a beautiful pearly white with some silver glitter. I really love the vintage lady. The stamps are all from Close to my Heart, not a company I use a lot, but I really loved these stamps. Of course, they were from last years catalog. Enjoy, I can't wait to get this chunky book back!! White is my new fa

Brown Chunky

Front and Back pages for a Brown Chunkybook. I think this one turned out nice, and the glitter was a really nice touch.

Fabric Painting


Well, this is my second attempt for Fabric Painting. I actually swapped this baby out....I think it would look good framed on a wall....

More Altered Books...

I think this is such a cool cover! I had Ben Cut the outside of the book into the shape of a moon. But only the front Cover. The Back is rounded, but the inside isn't cut out. Then I cut the inside pages at a curved angle to add more interest. It's really pretty in person. When I get my altered books ready to go, I do some of the cover, a sign in page and one spread to set the tone. I try not to go over and beyond because then I get attached to my book, and I'm always a little nervous that I won't see my books again. I have that with one round robin now...
This book is about dreams and fantasies.

This is going to be my Alphabetica book. The cover isn't much to look at, but it is purple velvet with paint at this point. The emphemera for the cover is pretty bulky, so I do that when it comes home.

Since I don't know how many people will work in this book (it's going for a few rounds) I made the sign ins pretty simple.

I think this spread is much nicer in person. There is beading all done around the edge of the left that didn't scan. And pretty glitter on the flower!

Collage Canvas' for Wall Hangings

Dark Brown, Magenta, Beige and Antique White
Yellow, Plum, Pink and Pearl
Orange, Blue, Red and Brown

Beige, Rust, Green and Ivory

Green, Yellow, Sepia and Turquoise

The idea is this: two groups, 10 people in each group. Each person chooses a color. I chose Sepia for one group, and for another I chose Pearl White/Interference Colors.

Then, each person does a 4x4 collage using the colors each person chose in their group. When finished, we mail them to the awesome host, who will punch the corners and arrange them in a pattern so that when we get them back we will have a wall hanging - consisting of 10 4x4 done in your choosen color by everyone in your group (including your own).

I'll take a pic when it comes home!!
