I was about to chuck this book in the trash. Every time I made a journal page in this book, it was simply awful. It seemed as if the book was stealing my mojo.
This was a last ditch effort for the book. If I wasn’t happy today…it was going away in a really permanent fashion.
I think I’ll keep it around, at least for the time being.
I don’t know if I’m at liberty to show the poem on the canvas yet….hence the partial photo with words blurred.
My friend Sandy entered a poetry contest and won! Her poem is going to be published. She asked me if I’d do an art piece with her words.
The funny thing is that I had started this canvas became “stuck” at a certain point. I felt that it needed words.
Low and behold…the words fell into my lap. After the words, I added a couple of collage pieces from an old children’s book I saved from the trash heap.
I hope she loves it as much as I do…
UPDATE: She does love it!
Here’s a photo of the whole canvas
I’m back at my Children’s Literature altered book.
Click, Clack, moo quickly became a new favorite children’s book. It’s about these cows that find a typewriter and start sending a list of demands to the farmer. They decide to stop production unless given electric blankets. It’s super cute.
There is actually several in the series now by Doreen Cronin. She definitely has a knack for children’s stories.
