5.28.11 ... my flowers have grown - a recycled surprise

today scout and i worked on a complex project that isn't ready to be posted visually yet so i am taking this opportunity to share this one from a week or so ago.

it can be a large fold over bookmark or a stand alone little art decor piece. it's constructed out of a discarded 1960s book illustration, a ledger paper piece and some manila card stock i found at a thrift store.

i had fun with it.

i placed one of my favorite stamp messages on the back. because i love abe and i love friendships. how's your holiday weekend shaping up so far?

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

5.9.11 ... mother's day continued

we interrupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you a photo. we asked ev to take a picture of us because i wore my new mother's day necklace today. so here we are.

i forgot that i can start sharing our mother's day cards now that the day has passed. i will post a photo or two each day this week. here are three i created recycling pieces from a vintage dr. suess dictionary.

and here is my entry for today. no, i did not create scout today - although i like to think i have a hand in recreating her reality a little each day. just leave me to my thoughts, dear readers. who can it hurt? 

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

5.2.11 ... recycled bookmarks

here's something new that flashed in my brain --- combining vintage film stills with a common children's book to create an interesting bookmark design.

i like it. this is the reverse.

these are all extra surprises for joonE orders going out tomorrow. this one is for a person who mentioned she loves bluebirds.

i used that old suess dictionary and a safety envelope turned inside out.

and here is one of my mixed media whale stamp corner bookmarks for another buyer.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

5.1.11 ... seuss picture dictionary buttons

the other day i found a discarded suess picture dictionary. i have never seen one before. that seems impossible but there you have it. i had to get it because visions of adorable magnets and buttons raced through my head, not to mention a million other ideas. these are the first. i think they're perfect for mother's day.

scout found her 'are you my mother?' book for my photo shoot. the dictionary birds reminded me of the star of this classic. i hope your may day was lovely.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon
