Aren't they gorgeous? They last forever too. I never get bored looking at them.

More Altered Book Layouts

Practicing different techniques/layouts, and Principles of Design!

I'm leaning towards the yellow cut out leather button.

More Sun Buttons

I found more buttons that I may consider for the face...... The holographic sun face is too masculine, I think.

Saturday MA State Button Show

These are some of the buttons I bought this morning at the button show. Today I was looking for a button to use as a face for my sun healing doll. I couldn't make up my mind, so I bought them all! I plan on starting to cut out the material later on today. I am anxious to begin.

Use of Glues and Paint Techniques

The use of glue on paper is one that was very useful, and I love the credit card technique using paint on the page. It looks like tissue paper collaged onto the paper! I found it delightful. Here are some of the pages I worked on this past week.

'doin the Happy Dance!"

Oh I am so happy! I just got notified that I won 2nd prize in the Friends of the Agawam Library (MA) Juried Exhibit!! I entered a collage in the mixed media category - a portrait titled "Torn mented". I don't have a photo of it, but will post it at a later date. Also, am completing the last portion of the AB homework and will post those photos tomorrow.
