Second on the 2nd: Italian Girl in London

 

Please be aware.  If your Second on the 2nd post is the same as your T Tuesday post, please add your link both places when T Stands For Tuesday goes live. 

I was looking for an "oldie" when I found this spread I created in an altered book.  It is from January 3, 2008 and I named it The Italian Girl in London.  I have copied it in its entirety below.  This is what my art looked like in January, 2008.

   The Italian Girl in London came about when I found these two disparate pictures in two different magazines. What luck!! The background to both pages is wallpaper samples I got at Lowe's (a big box home improvement store) a few years ago. One of the pieces wasn't long enough, so I added a bit of sheet music on the left. For the embellishment, I tied various fibers alternating with organza to a safety pin.

The wallpaper doesn't accept glue well, so I used a bit of "The Ultimate," a white glue that several of my AB friends recommend. I was unhappy with myself that I apparently used too much on the left title, because as I was pressing it to the wallpaper, it tore. Guess I'll have to learn how to use the stuff.
