Channelling....

handbound book (multi-needle coptic stitch) with canvas wrapped covers

When I was designing this project for last month's class, I decided from the start that it would be present for a dear friend...

And so, I decided to "think Jaz" as I worked....and this was the result.  Do you think it's "Jaz-zy"? :)

It was fun being 'someone else' for a while... got the mojo going too!

Thank you everybody who attended this class and got their hands dirty painting and glittering with me! Hope you had fun!

Benny Bee

This is my "bee" boy (though, he says he's now older and no longer a bee but a wasp - i.e. more powerful) who lately has wanted to have hair like Tin Tin...(somehow I think it looks like a 'stinger' instead....except on the wrong end...)

...And the "bee" boy is also featured (minus stinger) in this layout for the latest colour palette over at the Color Room:

It's an awesome palette! Based on the "Life by the Sea" collection from MajaDesign.....great for buzzy little boys.

Have fun playing with the new palette! I'll catch you soon. I've got to go catch my "bee" and get him to learn his Chinese spelling.
