THIS, is my journal for the Alphabetica Round Robin I am participating in. It is being hosted by the lovely and talented Marilyn Healey. Many of the 26 gals participating in the RR have chosen a "theme" to go along with the ABC theme. One of my favorites is "Everything I Needed to Know I Learned from ABBA", and others have chosen vintage children, wild women, etc. I first started out wanting to use birds (recurring theme... I know!) but figured that was too limiting. I decided to scrap the secondary theme altogether but then I was stuck on my cover! I chatted with one of the gals from my group, Laura, and she inspired me to just loosen it up a bit by choosing Alphabetica with Wings. So, off she flew yesterday to another Heather! I won't see the book again for around 2 years but I am sure I will get to see peeks of pages and bits along the way. There are some fabulous artists participating so I am sure the wait will be well worth it.
Yesterday I got the wee ones's spring portraits back. They aren't perfect, her little linen dress is a bit crumpled and her hair is a tad messy but Hey! She's 2 and this is the way she looks most days. I think she is beautiful just the way she is...
You MUST alter that with a crown and some faerie wings! She's adorable-what a little pixie.

ReplyDeleteYour journal cover is stunning!!!!!! My jaw nearly hit the keyboard when I saw it!!! I LOVE it!!!!
Cute Little Hannah!! Isn't it so hard to get those at this age looking unrumpled for pictures? She looks so lovely, though!
ReplyDeleteYour book cover is very pretty! I know what you mean about birds, though. Birds are fun to use in artwork!
