Leslie's Green
Leslie picked the color "green" for our round robin. Her book is already beautiful. I knew I wanted to do something a little different. I have a stack of old photo holders I have been wanting to alter. I picked one out that would fit in her book, added an old photo ofmy grandparents and began to play. I used papers, napkins, a paper doily, a leaf skeleton, velvet leaves, cheesecloth, inks and paints. I added a piece of mica over the photo and a piece of mica on the bottom left hand side of the spread. I tied the photo holder shut with some of my hand dyed silk ribbon.
The photo holder is on the right hand side of this spread. The quote reads, " There is nothing more important in life than to love and to be loved ".
This picture shows the photo holder open.
