i reshot a few photos of the color because it looked a little too pink before. this is a more accurate representation.
previously, i had not revealed what was in this lower compartment on the main page because i hadn't finished it.
it's an owl... because deb loves owls.
actually, an owl necklace. i am NOT a jewelry person so it looks like it barely made it through those hundred and fourteen or so years... but the thought behind it was sweet, i hope.
the back page is a huge ol' pocket that houses all of the paperly things they collected along their travels.
here are the items: altered postcard, a map, a photo or three, something else...
the backs of two of the items. i had a lot of fun fashioning that wax seal out of paint and... wax.
i'll be shipping this off to kim the moment i find a box large enough -- and that is my quest for tomorrow.
okay ladies, i've posted a few final photos of deb's book here, and more on my blog in case you want to take a peek. now i'm back off to take care of the little man for the night (he was in the hospital yesterday -- us poor mums of sicky boys!!!)
ReplyDeletehugs to you all and hope you're great!
Alicia, this is so stunning..you've put so much heart and soul into this wonderful work...details galore and a fabulous story to go along with it..it's texturally yummy and delicious and full of delightful eye candy...Deb should be tickled pink!

Oh Alicia!!! This is just brilliant and so so thoughtful and sweet on top of it all. Such a wonderful treasure and Deb is so lucky for all your thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteI can't even begin to tell you how thrilled I am that you asked me to do a book collab with you. It's a great honor and I just hope I'm up to it especially when I look at things like this. Wow!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteIt's totally stunning; totally gorgeous! I'm one lucky, lucky lady!! Like I said on skype, the owl is my favourite thing there...but the oriental touches are just superb!!! Oh hell, lady, everything is just 150% more amazing than I could ever have dreamed of!
This looks amazing Alicia! Love all the travellers bits you have put into this piece, and the owl is gorgeous! You know I can't help but laugh as I watch everyone's pieces unfold and realise how well all our ideas blend together! I have had very similar ideas to many of you girls about things to include in everyone's books, so it's funny to watch what you have all done and go hey I thought about that too, LOL! I would love to see everyone's books together when they are all completed and spend some time drooling, err browsing! We must plan a holiday together, wouldn't that be fun!
ReplyDeleteI still want to eat this, btw.
ReplyDeleteyou'll be able to soon. :) though not sure how good it would taste. probably a bit like dusty old lace and coffee.
