| Yesterday I went over to my pal Monica's studio and that is always fun. Trust me. If you ever get the chance to go to Monica's studio, you want to go. There is always so much to look at and I always learn something new too. |
 |
| Our plan was to do two different origami folds and photograph each other doing each step. We were going to post one fold on each of our blogs but technical differences have caused problems in our plan.....I'm not sure when they will get figured out but I will show you the origami wallet fold pretty soon....I promise....what we need is a techie expert on blogs/blogger etc to help Monica get her blog back in business -- any volunteers out there? |
 |
| She let me play with her Big Shot die cutting machine.....whoa....I never knew how much fun it is to cut out little envelopes and things.....now I want one for my birthday. Maybe you guys can take up a collection? (just kidding!) (well kidding about taking up a collection but I would like one for my birthday...) |
 |
| I did return home with a pile of various sizes of envelopes to play with.... |
 |
| And, being the way we are, we had to go out for a terrific lunch of spicy minced pork in lettuce wraps and roti (bread) with curry dip...... |
 |
| Now, it is pouring rain and I am hanging out in my studio with this guy.... |
 |
| I've been altering old envelopes with watercolors, rubber stamps and foreign postage stamps... |
 |
| And prepping new envelopes with rubber stamps... |
 |
| I've been making LOTS of wallets in all sizes...very easy and very fun...it took me years to find out how to do it and now that I can there is no stopping me. |
 |
| I've been working on a few altered book pages.... |
 |
| Sending some good mail out... |
 |
| A friend gave me these cards and I just had to add some little stamp heads to them.. I just can't leave things alone. |
 |
| Worked on a pocket letter....but gee...those things are A LOT of work. It is like making nice ATC's. I was going outside to shoot some photos for the blog but the rain stopped me. It is so wonderful to hear it pounding on the rood right now. Poor dry California really needs it and I, for one, do like to take showers so keep it coming! I guess I better post this and get back to work on the various projects I've got going.....a rainy day is a good day to make things. But then, every day is a good day to make things, right? SEND GOOD MAIL -- GET GOOD MAIL |
