This is a little book which arrived in the mail ready for me to add a few pages of art work.
This morning while checking on my little garden, I found the small black feather. (It has purple highlights). So I brought it in and went through my collage materials to see what I could do for a bookmark. Corrugated cardboard and a short purple ribbon for a start. I used craft glue and attached the feather.
Now to decorate the reverse, smooth side...I found a small etching of a birds, a stamp with a woman's head, and two rubber stamps to use. The first is the silhouette of the crow, the other parts of a woman's face.
Now, I can get back to the story, and I'll have a great bookmark to keep me on the right page!
Out in my mailbox just now, I found this lovely collage card from Janet Briggs , a blogging artist friend!
The challenge was to look at this painting (below) of a young girl in front of a cozy fire and to imagine what she might be dreaming about. I think she would like travel and adventure with possible romantic involvement. I see her as a redhead, not just from the fire's glow, she will grow up to be a beauty. Maybe she is dreaming of dancing shoes, a horse to ride in the moonlight, a magnificent large home with rich furnishings and a long life to enjoy it all and share with those she loves.

This is a page from my "Daughter of Time" altered book. Just red, pink with touches of yellow and blue. The card with the old photograph comes out of the lace pocket and has an antique postcard (sticker) on the back. Behind it is some artwork by Flavia...whimsical hearts and tulips. I always like Flavia's use of line (charcoal?) in her illustrations.
