Lynette's book was started on Yupo paper, and Karen continued that medium. I didn't have any, so used rice paper, which was then too floppy to attach - I had to mount it on watercolor paper. So it's a bit thick compared to their lovely delicate work. I brayered color onto the rice paper, and then stenciled colored light molding past for the flowers. The butterflys came from some vellum envelopes that I have and the boy figure from some victorian cutouts that I had.
This is FUN. I'm finding that I am being pretty free in style and using items that I would normally not use. I can't wait until the next one shows up! Both of these are off to Suki today.

I'm playing catch-up, been busy so - I love your page, beautiful, froggie is adorable and am so sorry to hear of your mom's illnesses and your biking accident! Glad to hear that she is better and that you survived and fortunatly landed on your personal 'airbags'! :)
What a cool project this is!
Look forward to the autumn book!
Love the page you did!, but the others are dreamy as well!

Oh Gosh, Mim! I have been away this weekend, so didn't see these until now. These are great! So fun to see you stretching yourself in new directions.
Weeeeee, look at those cute bees! Thank you so much Mim! I have one book now that I am working on and a bit stumped so you will have a break for a while since no more have arrived yet! I will give you a heads up, it is Cathie's book and theme is favorite quote. I can let you know the size if you want but it is not in the same room with me right now!
