Second on the 2nd: A look back

Not only is this the second look back on a post created before anyone knew about my blog, but it's also the second time I've had to create this post.  I accidentally deleted it and the one from last month.

Before we get into my post, you may have noticed the Second on the 2nd button on my right sidebar. I want to thank my dear friend Halle of Halle's Hobbies for this.

She's such an angel, and did both the coding AND the lettering on the button.  Please be sure to thank her, because I can't thank her enough for all the help she has given me.

Now it's time for my Second on the 2nd.  It goes back to September 22, 2007. 

Flower Girl

This page was created in my friend Kathy's Vintage RR (round robin) altered book.  I began by dry brushing gesso and pink paint over the page, allowing some of the text to remain. I then added tissue paper that had been painted with pink and gold. I thought the paint on the tissue looked like a lattice, which the flowers were climbing. I added some pressed sweet pea flowers and a catalog image. Most of the flowers, with the exception of the ones at the top right, are individually placed. I thought the piece looked a bit plain, so I added some "confetti."

To make the flower girl, I first positioned the leaves on the image. When dry, I adhered the assembly and held it in place with a clamp until it was dry, then finished it off with the flower petal.

Now it's your turn to head to the past.  You have two weeks to share your post.
