It's hard for me to see my own handwriting, but I really wanted to make this two page spread about how the AB class came about. I began the background using "Warm Milk" and "Teddy Bear Brown." I mixed the two colors together a bit more than I originally intended, but I'm still happy with the results.
I used a brown Sharpie to write the words. I had enough room on the page, so I was able to use the Sharpie without it making a mess when I wrote the words. The left side reads: "It began with a concept. No money would exchange hands. All that was needed was an internet connection and to be plugged in.
One hundred twelve people contacted me. I could only take 99 because Blogger restricted the blog size to 100. I never would have guessed the turn out would be this positive. What fun we had using our hands and a mouse!"
The beauty of this AB is, it started as the book I used to teach the on-line beginning AB class. Now it will be a keepsake I can hold onto forever.

What a great idea for a spread in the book. I understand about the handwriting...your's looks fine to me but my own leaves something to be desired. Always our own greatest critic.
I love the ideas on your blog! I used to be big into ABs, but have drifted away. Thanks for inspiring me to get back to it!
Hugs,

good theme too!
wonder what it is about seeing our own handwriting ... yours looks great Elizabeth and your pages are wonderful!
I was so happy to be one of the 99, my AB is my favourite and most treasured altered art ever
