i'm taking "the remains of the day" class!

I'm taking a new online class with Mary Ann Moss called, "remains of the day". I just can't wait until I get my hands busy on this one. One problem, I need a sewing machine! I'll work on that in the mean time I'll be collecting paper from my stash and around the house. I think I'll pull out the girls school pictures and scan them and print them out in good quality paper. I'm so excited! Take a look at her video here and tell me you can't keep yourself from drooling over her work.

Tag Book From Tag Swap

I received the tag book from the tag swap last week, or was it the week before, and didn't have time to take photographs of it until a day or two ago. It's quite a lovely thing with ribbons and lace and uniquely individual tags from members of Nancey's Art Dolls.

Originally Nancey wanted 20 women to participate but we ended up with 16 and from the 16 who signed up for the swap only 11 women came through with tags. Nancey compiled the tags and fabricated the covers from sewn together fabric and brick-a-brack. I love the final product and can think of a million and one uses and themes. Have a look!
