Fresh Greens

I spent last week painting cover papers with leftover
acrylics.

I bind the books and cover them with these papers.





I am spending the weekend in an acrylics workshop.
What are you painting this weekend?

I am sharing this with Paint Party Friday and Artists in

You give new meaning to "Fresh Greens." Both of these books are exquisite. The ties with the added beads is sure a perfect finish. Love them both! Have a great week!
