A new set of signatures for a friend

This is the first set in a two set of signatures that are in the mail. My friend doesn't know they are coming, so NO HALLE, these are not yours. This friend is a doodler, so I suspect these pages will be filled with doodles and zentangles rather than deep thoughts and words of wisdom. I tried to tailor the book to my friend's tastes. I hope my friend likes them. Again, scrapbook paper, painted papers, stuff from my stash, etc. were used. I'll add a few comments as I think they are appropriate. I would not have shown them, but the last two days have been very busy away from home, and I simply didn't have time to get photos off my camera.

First page/cover of first signature.







Tea bag holder became a tag holder.

Love these flowers. They remind me of my friend. Handmade tag in left envelope.



Paper bag used as background. Lots of tag and memo storage.



Paint chip and tea bag holders on right.

Background on right is crayon. I suspect this page will get a photo or something other than doodling.

Secruity envelope from left side flipped back to show hot detail.

Image from an opera on left. Tag pockets on right.

Anaglyptus (raised wallpaper) on left.


I failed to take a photo of the back page, but you get a view of the background by looking at the first photo.

Today's blog came from OWOH (see Previous Collaborations page). In fact, I am running so far behind this morning, I haven't had much of a chance to view more than a couple of pages of Lorraine's blog, aptly named Love of Collage. And I promise, you will love her collages and mixed media art, too. From viewing her sidebar blog list, I see we visit many of the same blogs. I'm surprised we haven't met sooner. I'm sure glad I went today, though. Her art is stunning and her choice of materials is so varied. She also sews, and I mean REAL sewing, not the messes I make. So hop on over to Love of Collage and see some really super eye candy today. Have a great day everyone.
