Gosh, it's been a long time...

I wonder if anyone even looks at my blog anymore.....sigh!

Here are a few little pieces that I've made, I'll be posting more in the coming week & hope I'll get caught up by weeks end!






These are sepia moo's that I made for an on-going swap on the Paper Whimsy forum....I received 8 GORGEOUS moo's in return!!! The colors are a bit off....I am not a wizard with Photoshop!!!





Here is a spread that I created for Connie S. in an AB RR that just finished up!!! Her theme was vintage sewing...I really enjoyed making these pages for her!














These are pix of the ballgown that I created for the bibbity-bobbity-ball gown challenge on the Paper Whimsy forum.

It is all natural materials except for a few silk bits & a little metal...& of course, the hanger.

I titled it "fragile" It was difficult working with these brittle, dried leaves but I was consumed by this project...I have hung it in a shadowbox & really enjoy looking at it!

Some of the leaves were gathered in the Hill Country of Texas....over 20 years ago...am I a packrat or what???

Oh my ... I LOVE this ball gown! Can you make one in a size 6? I'll even furnish the leaves. We'll have plenty in just a week or so - not to mention the ones I've had pressing in a 1990 phone book.

I'm still reading your blog - I check regularly for updates and I'm so glad to see your beautiful art! Your moo cards are adorable and that ball gown is to die for!! I can only imagine the patience that was involved in creating with the natural leaves and other items - it's just stunning! I would love to see a larger photo of the sewing themed RR - it looks precious from what I can see but I want to see details!
Hope your health is good - I've missed you!
hugs,

Wonderful Moos Cat and so many of them! I bet the recipient was really pleased to get your pages in her alt bk! Just Love how you hung your beautious bbball gown on the hanger and with the title too! It really is a work of art! Wouldn't it be fun to swish around in a gown like that! You sound like a gal after my own heart....it's a good thing you saved those leaves :) :) :)
