Doing a December Journal with Hope Karney on her Besottment website.
This is the cover, I had already cut a part this book to alter it, and figured I would use it for the journal. Just started to build the journal, and its large around 9x6 inches. I have so much ephemera that it just made sense to do a journal and add lots of visual journaling. Here is Hope's website:

Going through old work, found this
wall calendar journal I did some time ago.
Took a lot of sewing as I recall, so thought I
would not be doing any more. But I really
like the texture of the sewing with all the
different papers.

Doing a swap with a great group of ladies on Roses on my Table site. Always supportive of each other and wonderfully creative. Great to have this kind of support around when there are dark and dreary days like today. Some days you feel alone, and yet its nice to know groups of people like this group are there when you need that connection.

Still playing with the Fornasetti images. Just for fun!!
These images look almost Steampunk in a way.

Especially when you put them together like here.

Ladies with Hats

ATC's for an ART 42 swap using Fornasetti images. If you dont think you know who Fornasetti is you are wrong. This face has to be one of the most used images in the art world. Piero Fornasetti (1813-1988) made over 500 variations of this face. Based on opera singer Lina Cavalleri, this is one of the most recognized faces in the art world next to the Mona Lisa.
Check out the swap here:
