empty book cover
book text
thread
lavender
sea glass
copper wire

and the sky the last couple of days ....

IT STAYS IN PLACE--Oh, lovely lovely. I am inspired.
Lovely! Those green pieces with the copper wire remind me of wire-wrapped moldavite necklaces I've seen. Very pretty and unique piece.
Oh, and love your sky pic with the gorgeous clouds!!
Love this! And I just took a tour of your etsy shop! Oh my! I adore the poem collages! I've been using loose tea for a while now... but I love what you do with your tea bags, so when I'm out of loose... I might just have to go back to bags! You stone birds are so cute too! And your paintings! Oh I've missed you and I'm so glad I'm back!
This is a lovely piece - I love the words on the book spine.
Such a beautiful post. Such lovely artwork. Love the seaglass heart. Wonderful ingredients. :) Have a lovely day. Tammy

Lovely! I too love tea bags, beach glass and words, and here they are all put together wonderfully! I also wanted to say your day at Mount Ranier looks wonderful!

This is super, Kimmie! I love that you used the entire book skeleton. How perfect.
We have been getting much need rain and cloud cover here, too. It's been a nice reprieve from the heaviness of the heat.
