I gave a peek at a project in my last post. Here is full frontal viewing of one of the pieces. It is a journal ala Rebecca Sower's Hodge-Podge Journal I am currently obsessed with. I made it as a gift for Holly Abston's baby shower given recently by Shelley Overholt and Holly's sister Amy.
Holly is having a little boy this time. She had a boy baby the last time, and the time before that. This journal uses the number three often and of course that blue. You know THAT blue? The cover bears a page from an old hymnal titled "O Blessed Son of God." Oops did I make Holly cry? Awwww, shoot.
That image is a baby boy riding a stork. The music page reads "brotherhood."
Just browse through some of the pages...
In 1210 she is having number 3.
It was such a joy to work on a page here and there while taking care of mother.
Art nurtures.
That bird bears a crown with the initial "R."
I completely love working with paper and glue.
Above is the interior of the back cover. The book page number 3 had "born" circled.
The back cover displays a fusion of symbols for Holly and me. I met Holly taking a crown making class at Paper Crown. Birds, eggs and wings are themes I always use.
Here is to a boring delivery and a healthy boy, dear Holly.
