Intasar Khanani is one of my favorite
YA fantasy authors.
She is giving away five sets of
Thorn (a retelling of the Goose Girl) and Sunbolt
--two YA fantasies that I loved.
I reviewed them on my book blog
If you are a high school librarian,
and maybe
you will win one of the five sets for your students. :)
In the Studio
Folded a tag to make a pocket.
I'm not sure where I saw this idea,
but pockets are always fun!
I ordered some tiny new rubber stamps
and tried them out on scrap paper,
brown paper, and on tissue from an
old pattern that I've been using in collage.
The tiny card with the bones was
in my Halloween stash.
(I cut it from some packaging that I saved--
sometimes the packaging is as wonderful as the contents.)
It was a tight squeeze,
but the card and stamps fit right in the pocket.
Bits of painted water color paper--
I made several of these a while back
and should make some more
because all of these tiny things are fun!
I'm adding tea bags to tags, post cards, and envelopes.
--tea bag house--
I ended up liking this side better
I placed a feather in a tea bag,
then added it to a grungy tag
I'm busy making more tags and some
Halloween mail arty stuff.
Because it's fun. :)
Outgoing Mail
to Cheryl in NYC
to Mila--another tea bag added to a postcard
to Max
to Bryce Eleanor
and I'm having fun with them.
Stamped on some dictionary pages
and glued them to the card.
Included with my stamps was a cool Halloween tag and
a paper bag with stamped images that I will cut up and use for collage!
I LOVE lagniappe.
