These are the pages for the most recent book I received in a RR.
I’m really happy with the way the beading on the edge turned out. Hopefully the owner will like it as much as I do.

I got a chance to play a bit today.
I’ve had this book sitting waiting to be inspired.
While cleaning up my table a bit, the ideas finally struck.
I finally got a chance to be creative! Both kiddos are in school today!!!!!! I even have the little one staying through lunch so I can have a little me time.
This is the second spread for the music themed book I’m working in for a round robin.
Here’s a spread for the latest book in my current round robin. The book’s theme is MUSIC. I still need to come up with another spread before passing it along but this one just HAD to be done!
I scanned pictures from my teenage scrapbook for this page. What a hoot looking through that old scrapbook!!! I had mostly cut stuff out of magazines with just a few notes and photographs thrown in here and there.
This book has been a bit more difficult for me to come up with something that fit the theme of the book. The owner wanted a focus on Japan and Okinawa, specifically their crafts and textiles but thankfully.. gave us “an out” so to speak as long as we stuck to the Asian theme.
Haiku and Bonsai felt to me like a good fit without repeating the same Kimono’s and Geisha’s that would be expected with these theme. The attempt at haiku poetry is all my own…
I completed my pages for the latest book I received in my current round robin.
The original drawings from the book were hand-painted by me with watercolor crayons. The chopsticks were shorten by breaking then shaping them in a pencil sharpener before a slight bit of whittling and sanding.
The bamboo was drawn then painted by yours truly. The fortune reads “The luck that is ordained for you will be coveted by others”
I’ve never done any Asian themed art before…at least not consciously. I did do a mixed-media painting a while back that ended up having an Asian flare.
Hoorah! I was able to get “T” completed today. The tag reads “Take time… before time takes you.” This was a quote by yours truly a couple years back. I had envisioned putting a tombstone on the page as well but didn’t find one I wanted to use.
