It’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

 

My round robin “Nature” book has returned home…..filled to the brim with some really cool, imaginative and creative artwork!

You may remember the post I did HERE.  I shared the book I had made for the round robin just before I put it into the mail in November 2011! 

This is the cover.

I converted two children’s board books, the kind where all the pages are made of cardboard, into one very sturdy book.

Nature was my theme and Amy’s (in Louisiana) interpretation of the that theme was this……

“Wood Nymphs”, butterflies, dried flowers and lots of color!

Next came the pages that I created to start the book off………

Then there is Corinne’s (a fellow Oregonian) fabulous contribution…..made with fabric that was cut, trimmed, written on, outlined, stamped and generally altered to make these beauties.

From Texas, former Oregonian, Margie envisioned the nature theme like this…..

Having lived in Oregon, she knows we have trees….lots of big, big trees!  There is always a song in the forest and she celebrated it here!   Connie, in the state of Washington, was last to work in the book and was the grand finale, for sure!  Her specimen page fit perfectly into the theme and came complete with dried leaves, drawings, diagrams and definitions….not to mention…..a real Dragonfly, preserved under glass!

Trust me the pictures do NOT do the art work justice!  They look good, but in real life they look even better.

This was a great round robin!  There were only five participants but each one sent out the most outstanding books and all of the work was so very well done.  I have had a ball, thank you for inviting me to participate Amy!  You did a great job putting it all together.
