A tag book was created with lots of fiber goodness spilling out at the edges. "A Walk Through Wonderland" features pages with vintage reproductions from the earliest color illustrations from The Alice in Wonderland books. A couple stamped images can also be found.
Background pages are all painted and distressed with acrylic paints. This workshop is taking place next week at Stampin' From the Heart in Los Angeles. See my sidebar to find their blog and find details for this class. Hope I see you!
Art tsunami. A good thing? Well, rather than being scary, it was actually fun.
Book tsunami. A very scary thing cause guess who has to put it all back together again?
A walk outside always calms me down. Despite the powdery mildew, Polynesian Sunset has been blooming brilliant hues of red-orange roses with yellow centers.
My Cecile Brunner climbing rose has been bursting with tiny but heavy fragrant roses. This rose comes back strong year after year and seems to be disease resistant for me.
How did it come to be that I agreed to host another book fair during the time of year when I actually sneak in a little peace and extra oxygen simultaneously? WHY did I NOT remember that this fair would be held at the same time I'd be working like a mad woman trying to get a sample for the shop and preparing kits for my "A Walk Through Wonderland" tag book workshop? Does it make any sense to ask these questions anyway? At this point I just gotta go with the flow. And so what if the flow feels like a tsunami. A tsunami of books and art can't be all that bad, can it? sigh.

And, what were you doing up so early on a Saturday???
I like your tsunamis better than mine! This morning I was practicing EFT cuz I felt I was drowning...ve tu a saber.
So, thanks for the post.
La Poeta, I think all creative people have a thing about being up at the crack of dawn or up all night.
I'm interested in seeing your tsunamis! Hope you're doing better these days. Peace to you.
