Next step adding some bling maybe.
I have a thin strip of velvet to put on the side. These little books will have about 10 pages inside with different paper all ready to scrap or use for journaling.
Retro wide ties sewn together. I have been experimenting on making purses. I like a lot of pockets inside and longer straps, but not too big and I decided the only way to get this is to make my own. An old bow tie from the Sixties out of velvet for decoration. The color combinations are so fun to work with. I need to take more pictures to show other colors.
I am a mixed media artist born in Michigan and living in Arizona. I work at an antique store in Mesa Az. I have been in retail all my life. I love to decorate, I have done window decorating and have recently put my talents to doing vignettes and painting. I teach classes at Mystic Paper across the street from the Antique Plaza. Some of the art I do: Altered Books, Artist Trading Cards (Atc's), Collage Art, and painting in acrylics.
