Line Doodle - Shades Of Pink - An Attitude


Size: 4.4"w x 6"h

On Canson Mixed Media paper  drew intersecting lines, then using a calligraphy 3.0 marker drew heavier alternating lines.

Triangle Mini Booklet - Pie In The Sky



I had triangle shaped cut offs and decided to make a booklet of the scraps... I also had these geli print sheets from eons ago that I had no idea what to do with them. They were too small for most of my projects... So ended using 2 of them with different coloring... Mish Mash...
size: 5"w x 3"h x .5"thk
There were some single triangle pieces and some that were folded in half. Adhered the single ones together with the geli print. I put 2 folded triangles together. Sewed everything attaching them to the covers (1,2,1; 2,1,2; 1,2,1) to hold everything together... did I say mish mash??? it's cute though.
