Long Overdue Swap Art

Finally showing some swap art that

I made for Annette. (Scrap Happens Here)

The theme for her book was

'Proverbs.'  The page above says

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"The early bird catches the worm,"

with fabric, lace, silk greenery, buttons,

and my watercolor of an American Robin.

Small pamphlet-stitch book to go in

the pocket of

"You can't judge a book by its cover."

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,"

created with scraps of cardboard,

paint and paper. The charm unfortunately

caused the scan to blur the details

of the image.

"One woman's trash is

another woman't treasure." 

I used a discarded 

music library card, brown paper

bag, scrapbook paper, and the gentleman

in the bathing costume is from a carton

of hard cider I believe.  Multiple

layers of paint were applied to the collage,

along with the spiral clip, beads

 and a vintage charm.

"A smooth sea never made

a skilled sailor."  This is made from

some pretty scrapbook paper that

has an ocean/fishy theme.

Tags in the "sailor page" pocket.

Many thanks to Annette for being so patient 

and understanding about the late arrival

of her package. Hopefully, it is a case of

"good things come to those who wait!"
