My Life in Pictures

Mucha Travel Journal

I will be going to Budapest and Prague this March with my dear friends, Andi, Darya and Pam. I just finished prepping my travel journal. The last time I was in Prague, Darya and I visited the Mucha museum. I am a big fan, so this was a must see for me. While there, I bought a Mucha weekly engagement calendar from the gift shop. I thought this would be the perfect thing to use for my journal. The pages are heavy and sturdy and will hold up well on it's journey.

Here is the cover,

Here are some of the inside pages. I left most of the images in the book and will work around them. I used spray paint, adirondack acrylic paint dabbers, colorbox chalk cat's eyes, fingernail polish, magic markers, rub-ons, stickers, magazine cut outs, fabric trims, scrapbook & watercolor paper, and old journal pages that I altered. 

I bought this wrapping paper the last time I was in Prague.  I used it in the back of the book and trimmed the edges with lace.

My journal is all ready to go and I can't wait for this fun and exciting trip.

 

   

Post Card Swap

I joined a mixed media post card swap hosted by Shannon Ganshore.  I am to mail out 12 cards to players from Canada, Germany and the US. I choose to use felt roving, yarns, angelina fibers, ribbons, trims, buttons, beads and fabric. Here are just a few of my creations.

Fun & Frolic

I just finished working on a new fabric book. It measures 12" x 12" and is filled with 15 removeable, 140 cold press watercolor pages. It is held together with 3 book rings.

Planet Prague

I will be going back to Budapest and Prague in March. I can't wait. I love both of those cities. I decided to take one of my Prague photo's from my last visit and play with it in photoshop. This is what it looked like before I created my planet.

Harrison Brothers Hardware

Better than a museum, Harrison Brothers is a living 19th century landmark sitting serenely in the midst of downtown Huntsville, AL. High-tech Huntsville itself seems 100 years away as you enter the store.

Going Green with Paper Roses

I finally got around to making myself a wreath with paper roses made from old magazines. It took me days, but I think it was worth it. I love how it turned out. I topped it off with some wired paper ribbon.

    

Reason for the Season

My vintage, handpainted Nativity set from Italy. A treasured gift from my grandmother. I think of her everytime I set it up. Miss you and love you Grandma.
