Sara's book!!

This is Sara's book, which left Connecticut today for West Virginia! My page that I added is the blue & white flowered one (on one side) and the tan on the other, with all the ribbons flowing out to match Sara's cover. What a wonderful book! Sara, I think you will be very happy to receive this back home again. I am done now with my contributions, but will enjoy the rest of the uploads and wait for Sue & Dawn's additions to my book. (as you can!) Then it will return home to me! This has been a great RR, dispite any difficulties we faced. We overcame them!

I am finished!

Dawn in Sara's Book

Sara's fabric book is just amazing. I love all the colors, textures, ribbons, etc. I am a bit late getting this book mailed to Lenna, but really enjoyed working in it and I hope that you like my contribution Sara.

Dawn in Joyce's Book - 7 Sins and 7 Virtues

Sorry for the poor quality photos - It was dark when I took these and they looked much better on my camera. By the time I downloaded them the book was already on it's way to Lenna.

I chose Kindness and Wrath for my virtue and sin. I just love the vintage postacard image of the fire breathing woman with the big hair - talk about a dangerous job!

Sara's Book

Here's the page I did for Sara's book! This is a beautiful book and was tons of fun to work in.

kyla's book

I sent Kyla's book off today, but before I sent it I took a couple of scans
of what it looks like so far . . . . so exciting! Here is Kyla's cover; it's harder to close now . . .





















Below, you'll see Linda Koch's work is on the left and Michelle Dressler's is on the right . . . .

Below, Sue Simpson's page on the left & Dawn Seller's page on the right! My pages are below in the previous post.

I love the little paper book you created for us to sign in as well. : )) thanks, Kyla! ~ enjoy, your book will be home soon!

Lenna in Kyla's Ladies of the Sea

This is the first bit of art work I have done since moving! It really was great to sit in my studio although everything is still in boxes. I had packed a few things in advance in a tote bag and worked out of that, enjoying my new space. Kyla's book had 5 pages left in it, so I wrote her and asked her if it was OK that I did 2 pages : )) Still plenty of room for Sara & Joyce! I love the way kyla created the base pages for us to work on, and - her theme of "ladies of the sea" came so easily to me. Both of my pages use Alpha Stamp Fabric images from the Mermaids #2 sheet (scroll down once you get there) - yummy! On the more colorful page below I glued paper to the fabric and also used a small transparency of a photo of water that the mermaid is swimming out of . . . I hope you like these pages, Kyla! Click on them for more detail. : ^ ) L e n n a 9/23/07

gorgeous work!

Hi everyone, thought I would pop in and say that I am following your progress with your books... so sorry I had to drop out but I had my best friend pass away and I felt like I couldn't cope with any creativity at the time and luckily I did drop out because my mum had a heartattack a month or so ago and had to have triple by-pass....
so there is no way I could have continued on with any of these gorgeous books...
but like I said, they are just gorgeous - well done!

Dawn in Kyla's Book - Maidens of the Sea

Kyla - your book is absolutely beautiful. I had a lot of fun creating my maiden. Using a fun vintage postcard image, I made her into a mermaid and gave her lots of seashells and shiny things to swim among. I hope you like her.

Michelle's Dance Book - Lenna's page!

I only have photos of the one page I did, front & back for Michelle's book, but you can see Michelle's Cover and pages HERE on this blog - uploaded earlier. You'll find Dawn's page for Michelle's book HERE and Sue's page for this book is HERE! Here is my page. I tried to incorporate various texture as Michelle requested . . . used velvet, paper flowers from artchix studio, soft lightweight fabrics on top of quilted fabrics. Click on either picture for more detail . . . . I sent BOTH Michelle's and Linda's books to Sara today in West Virginia. SARA: Michelle's book should be worked on FIRST so it can get back in the right order! Michelle, I loved your theme, thanks so much. Lenna

Linda's Anything Goes fabric book . . . Lenna's page & more!

I have photos of the page I created for Linda's book along with some additional photos of her whole book! Linda's sign-in spools and her instructions have been re-united with her book, yay! To the right, is the front of the page I did - click on it for more detail. I used part of the large paper and fabric collage I created in July for the front of this page. Then I added some hand stitching & beading, and stamped a favorite Claudia Rose stamp; "It's the little things." -This is a little book! : )





Here to the left is the back of my page. I mixed paper with fabric and added a little stamping with Fabrico/VersaCraft ink in a magenta color.








Below is Linda's cover, by Linda of course!

This is the front of my page inside of Linda's Book:

Dawn in Michelle's Book - Dance

Michell's book is turning into a wonderful Dance themed book. Since Michelle indicated in her instructions that she likes texture, I added a real tulle tutu to the ballerine image that I used for my page. I also added some vintage silver irridescent trim (doesn't show up well in the photo unfortunately) and a fun danglie on the side. The book headed out priority mail to Lenna today!

First is the back of my page - not too fancy but I like that it is simple.


This is the front of may page - the image is from an old "Etude" music magazine, vintage 1950's. I saturated the image in blue on photoshop then printed on fabric. I hope you like it Michelle!

Sue's Book - Inspiration!

I recently worked in Sue Simpson's book as part of this RR and had a wonderful time. Here's Sue's cover; I added a small bit of lace trim with a safety pin she had already put on the cover . . . click on any photo for more detail.

I love the title she gave her book with beads . . . .

My sign in tag (sue asked us to choose a stencil) was the letter E for LEnna! My page on the right is fabric based with bits of paper from an inspirational scrapbook page glued on.

The other side of my page on the left - fabric & paper & vellum . . . . Dawn's page is below on the right . . . .


The back of Dawn's page is on the left & Sue's page on the right - beautiful!


The other side of Sue's page below on the left and her inside back cover! It's looking good, Sue!

Kyla's book!!

This is a great book. It was very fun to work in. I live on Camano Island so gathering goodies for this page entailed a walk on the beach.
