Look What I Got

Pretty Birds

I was lucky enough to win this piece from

This piece makes me happy.
This is how Jessie announced the winner on her blog.
Such a sweet girl holding MY prize.
Jessie even enclosed this little fox postcard for me.
The fox and the pretty birds now hang on my
admiration wall for all to admire.
Thanks Jessie,,,they really brighten my day!

Hats

As I was rummaging through my box of collage goodies I
found this Paris city map. The design was actually done
by Jean-Paul Goude. Interesting hat don´t you think?
I wanted to create a piece featuring a hat but I feel this
hat speaks for itself.

Jean-Paul is the designer for many famous name brands.
This latest Chanel ad is running in quite a few magazines
right now. Again, notice the flower hat she is wearing.

He was also the designer for this cover featuring the
singer Björk. Again, notice the hat.

I am linking these hats to the Three Muses.

I am off to do some exercises. This will make
my back feel like new again. Either that or I´ll never
walk again.

All images, except for the map cover, were found on Google.

The Line Up

The Line Up
A colorful array of longstitch books.
All the covers are painted with watercolors and ink.
The spines are sewn onto leather for added stability.


The Red one with a black leather spine.

The Blue one with a brown leather spine.

Bookbinding is always a fun summertime project.
I have many more waiting in the wings.
What have you been working on this summer?

The Summer of Color is ending this week so I have
added my colorful books to their list.
Have a great week!

Peridot


Peridot
I have been painting a lot of green papers this week
for bookbinding projects. I used some of one of the
papers to make a quick card with one of my favorite quotes.
