Fairy Book Photos

Here you will find  photos of  my Fairy Book from the fairy book
swap . Karla over at  http://www.karlascottage.com     
did a wonderful job of putting over 100 swappers pages
together. 

These pages are a magical journey filled with adventure.


A Princess becomes a Frog.
  
The ultimate test, am I a true princess?
The wicked witch.

Weaving straw into gold.
Do wings really travel?


F is for fairy.
Just a little fairy dust.


Rescued by a magical bird.
Under a magical spell.


Flayse keeps magic in the world.
A romantic espisode from Shakespeare’s “Tempest”.

Traveling across a magical landscape.
Lost in the woods.

Am I a true princess.
Happily everafter.

Singing everybody knows how u got 4 feet and 12 toes.
A romantic garden


The end


Fairy tales are where stories come alive.  They make children use their imagination and  adults  rethink what it means to be human. I hope you have enjoyed these marvelous  pages from my fairy book. And thanks to all the swappers for such beautiful and creative art.

Peace, love, and art,

Fairy Book

 I told you about the Fairy Book Swap I joined. Well I didn't think I would ever finish 8 fairy pages front and back by Sept 1, 2012.  When I got going things went quick. They are done and flying over to Karla at   www.karlascottage.typepad.com

Here is a peek at the pages I made. In return Karla the hostess will swap out all the pages and send each swapper a completed and bound fairy book.

 

 

All pages are different. The thing I like best about the swap is I explored some techniques I had never tried before.

 

Peace, love and art,

The 1905 cookbook by Judy Howard

"A Taste of Summer"

 Used free-form piecing and cutting to make the quilt learned from a technique by UK art quilter Alicia Merrett

The watermelon my favorite fruit of summer

                                  Back of quilt and Artistment Statement.

This is what I said. "As summer nears I start drooling for the watermelon my favorite fruit of summer. I remember the wagonloads of watermelons my Grandfather took to the farmers market and the lessons he taught us grandkids on how to pick a good one. I hope this quilt makes you smile and remember the farmers who toll to bring us good Food for Body and Soul".

Granddad passed long ago but I think this quilt would bring a smile to his face. I wonder what he would think about the seedless watermelon today?  I prefer a watermelon with seeds. It's something about seeing the seeds in the meat of the melon that makes me think I am eating the real thing!

Peace, love and art,
