marie fat book

i am in a Round Robin collaboration with 14 other artists and we are doing a Marie Antoinette themed book. We are using vintage gardening books as our "book". they usually have a ring binder type enclosure on the inside. So after the other artists work on the page, they send them back home and then they go right back into the binder. We will decorate our books and then have a show and tell when they are all finished. i received my first page back the other day from Amy Huff. i love the colors she used. i can tell that the pages are all going to be unique and interesting.

the first page i did is going back to its player today.

this is the other side of the page. i made a little pocket to house my business card

Pif's

a few months ago, i put a note on my blog for 3 people who were interested in participating in a PIF with me. Basically you "pay it forward" to 3 people by giving them a piece of handmade art. the time frame was a year. the other night when i was busy making some mini snippet journals (pocket snippets!) to sell at Artnsoul in Hampton, i thought these would be perfect PIF's. these are the 3 i made special for my particpants. now upon receiving their PIF's they will pay it forward to 3 more people. "Snippets" are little fabric collages i make and will be teaching for the first time at Art is, in October.
