Three Pages in the Mail

Three pages are winging their way to Germany, the UK and Greece.

Here's a sneak peek for Ann. You have been so patient.
Kath here's a little peek for you. The page for Kath was the last one on my list.

Mandy here's a little peek for you.

This exchange has been wonderful. Thank you Ruth for putting it all together and for all the others in this exchange who did their bit to make pages for my book of Leaves which is going to be a real treasure. Thank you.

Beautiful leaves from Elizabeth

Elizabeth thank you for this gorgeous page, so delightful for all the details, one discovers something new each time one looks at it.

Sorry its taken so long to acknowledge its arrival but I've been away from home.

Ruth your page will be completed and sent out by next week, I promise. Sorry folks but it looks like I've fallen behind but I'm working on catching up.

Leaves from Liz

Liz thank you for this page its going to be a wonderful addition to my book. Received it a couple of days back. Love the little glass leaves.

There's a little quote on the back by Tagore -

'let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a Leaf '.

Leaves

Ann the second page you created for me has arrived in Bangalore. After two months and given up as lost. The envelope had been opened but I don't thing anything has been lost.

Its a beautiful page Anne and I think the depiction of the four seasons is wonderful. When I saw the sneak peek of this page I was really excited and I can't tell you how disappointed I was when two months went by with no sign of it in the mail.

Wonder if the first page will reach me after all. Thank you Ann for this beautiful page.

Click here to see the third page Ann created for me because we thought the first two were lost forever.

Peek at pages for Liz and Debi

I'm happy to report I've caught up and got both pages for June and July completed and ready to be posted tomorrow.

For June I created a page for Liz. Thank you for your patience Liz. Below is a little peek at the page with the theme of 'Doors'.

For July I created a page for Debi with the theme of 'Shabby Chic'.

Leaves from Gayle for June

This beautiful page from Gayle in California arrived about a week or ten days back and was waiting for me to get back from my travels.

Gayle has used Shibori techniques and Easter egg dyes to create this page. I really like the watercolour like effect you've achieved Gayle.

Autumn leaves from Ruth

Thank you Ruth for this beautiful page, got it a day back.

Hand painting done with fabric paints on muslin, thread sketching and quilting are the techniques Ruth has used to create this page.

Have to get started on making the page for June.

April - Seashore

As Juliette wrote my seashore page arrived. That makes me very happy because the page I made in March is lost in the mail.

Creating this page I first painted the image with acrylic colours on S80 and then stitched with the machine using embroidery thread.

I don't know.... but after I finished the page it remains me of my Holidays in France.

Slightly late Coastline

Sorry Chris, had a visitor and got a little bit behind. However you page is now finished, see a snippet here, but unfortunately I won't get to the post office until Tuesday and there's a strike on Wednesday..........................what can I say??? I hope the snippet whets your appetite and that you like the photo I took of the south coastline of Crete while we were away with our visitor. Regards Kath

Coastline

Here's the page I created in March for Chris. Its an aerial view of a stretch of coastline. The two blue ovals are swimming pools!!!
I'm glad you liked the page Chris.

February's leaves made by Mandy

Here's what Mandy created for me. A colourful page of leaves which evoke the colours of autumn. She has used a number of techniques - opaque seta colours to paint the background, applique ,reverse applique and machine embroidery.
The reverse has a little pocket into which I'm going to tuck in the note with all the details. Thank you for "the bit of fun" - a little packet of buttons, in the shape of leaves and little acorns. I'm going to use them when I make up the book at the end of the year.

Carmen your page was put in the mail early this week, you should have it by next week.

I've yet to begin the page for March which is for Chris, will get started this weekend.

Take care all and have a good weekend.
