Over the past few years I’ve been in a number of chunky book swaps that didn’t have enough players to make a truly “chunky” book. My friend Elizabeth came up with a great solution. Put them all together in one book with dividers separating each theme.
Here are the front and back covers for the book I’m putting together. Now I just need to gather my old swaps and figure out how many dividers I’ll need to make.
It just occurred to me that the last few posts haven’t had much to do with art…
I am doing a bit of creating. I am working on an altered book about my dad. I’ve had this idea for at least a year but haven’t done anything with it. I have a book that he had gotten as a young boy. His signature is in the front cover as a kid. I thought it would be an awesome book to pay tribute to him in. Since Dad’s stroke a couple weeks ago I had been thinking more and more about this book. I want him to see it. I don’t want it to be something that is at his memorial service somewhere down the road. I think a big part of me didn’t want to make the book because it seemed as if it was a “memorial”. Now I see that it totally isn’t!! I want to be able to know those stories in his own words and hold on to them for my children.
A little after 5 PM today…after I had put our pizza on the grill to cook…I saw this in my back yard.
This “family” has been sleeping in our backyard all summer. They have killed the grass in a couple of spots and now have created some new beds recently. My kids give me the Poop report most every day. We don’t own a dog but I still have to pick up poop, except it’s deer poop. Fabulous!
The “family” consists of 2 does and 2 fawns. The fawns have lost their spots but are still cute as a bug. The does scattered quickly when they heard us but the fawns weren’t quite as aware. So fun to see them up close.
