Holiday Book Exchange



Last night we had our annual holiday meeting of the Bay Area Book Artists group. We started a tradition a couple of years ago where each artist brings a book and we exchange those with a "lucky dip". The photos show the book I made - a flag book that says "Happy Holidays!", and a display of most of the other books.
Happy Holidays!

Where in the World?



Wow, it's been a while since I last posted! I blame only myself and I have plenty of excuses but the end result won't change.. so..here I am.
I am responding to Michelle Ward's challenge on her blog (http://michelleward.typepad.com/how_cool_is_that/), on the subject of "where in the world" we are. I have two responding pages in my art journal in the following pictures.
My "real" current address is in Northern California, but I live in a neighborhood where all the streets have bird names, and we nicknamed the area "Birdland". That's just perfect for me. I love birds and have been using bird images in my artwork a lot!
I love challenges like this one, and I hope to play in more of those in the coming year. That's one of my New Year's resolutions.
