exploring possibilities

I continue my love in making accordian books.

I made this one a few weeks ago for my daughter.  I used some paper that received some colour from steaming it with plants. (you can read more about that here)

I added some plants and tea bag paper and a few doodles with pen and ink.

And I sent it to my daughter.
My daughter is presently attending her first year of university about 4000 miles away from home. 



She is exploring possibilities, as was I in the creation of this little book.

    All of your creations are so lovely. They have such a quiet, peaceful soul.
    I hope your daughter is well. 4,000 miles is such a long way away....
    Thanks for your visit over at my blog.
    Goodnight, my friend,
    Kelly

    It's so teeny tiny cute! I bet your daughter was thrilled!
    PS Don’t forget to send her brownies/cookies. She’ll be the most popular girl in the dorm! (I used to get thank you notes from total strangers when the boys were in college! LOL)
