Two Twelve Sea Shell Challenge

I made a Keepsake for my husband, from the sea shells he and his grandmother gathered.
The book took third place and I won a gift certificate for a class at the art center.

Next challenge is to make a Fairy Door. My art assistants are drawing up some possible designs for me to create.

Close up of cover

the shells are so beautiful. It was like a puzzle glueing them on the cover.

Inside page, Grandmother and Poem

Sea Shell Keepsake...

The memories of time spent together, gathering...

On the warm sandy beach finding colored shells...

I hear the soft sounds of her encouraging voice.. with the ocean waves rolling into the shore.

Each shell is a keepsake in time of a grandparent,

now pasted and treasured.

And, held close to my heart forever.

New 212 Canvas Rose bag

I visited the, 212 Inspiration Station, at Harvest of the Arts... and painted another bag.
The computer guy Steve loaned us a computer, until ours is repaired/updated.
It's never fun when the computer crashs. The paperwork piles up quickly.
