I got my ABC 6th Anniversary swap package in the mail yesterday and went to work on the front and back covers nearly immediately. I bound the book this morning and love how it looks.

I loved the look of my fabric ATC’s so much that I decided to make a small purse in a simliar fashion. It totally reminds me of a crazy quilt.
Hopefully very soon I’ll have my finished purse to take when I go shopping!
The sheets of paper that the boy helped with turned out great. My experiments were less successful.
The mildly successful bowl was made by draping wet sheets of torn paper on the outside of an up turned bowl.
The other bowl was a big fat failure. Live and learn, right?!
I had an unlikely helper today while making paper.
The last time I made paper, neither kid would come near it.
I’m trying out making a couple of paper bowls using two different methods.
The first I squeezed most of the pulp out then pushed it into the inside of a glass bowl.
The second way was to make a sheet of paper but tear it and mold it over an up turned bowl. I’d think this way should yield a thinner bowl.
Everything is drying on the driveway in the 90+ degree heat. Too bad the humidity is up high as well.
Just playing a little with another macro shot of the tiny little bee I captured with my little Coolpix camera. I’m so impressed with it’s macro ability. I sat real still and slowly moved the camera within a few inches of the little bee while he was sipping nectar.
The second image I used some of my custom brushes to create subtle impressions in the background. I absolutely love playing in Photoshop.
