USA part2

Thought I would share this photo of Linda and I, this special woman I'm so proud to call "My Sis" (adopted Sister through choice). I’m so proud of her she inspires me everyday; Linda is a 10 year survivor of ovarian cancer. It is impossible for her to travel to Australia due to her health, so I will visit her every year I so wish it could be more. We make the most of every visit and every minute together.The photos below are the last pictures of the book I made for Linda.

This picture of Uncle Dan and this beautiful frame.I mounted on aged copper mesh.

Love this picture of Nellie such a beautiful looking lady below.

I must say I do love this page of Linda's Dad.

I used spotted mica on this picture of Linda's dad and his beloved motorbike.

In the folder are old documents from Linda's family.

USA Trip

Well I have finally come up for air from my Trip to the US and a 10 day visit to my Dear Sis place in Coeur d Alene Idaho.
I made this book for Linda as a gift; I have had this book cover for 3 years knowing it was meant for Linda.
Linda had sent me some photos of her family and I promised one day I would make her a book. So this is it

This page has an old frame.

I decorated the outside of the book while I was at Linda's so I could make it more personnel, with family photo’s, so enjoyed doing these charms.

I made each charm so if it turns over it has something on the otherside,as well.

I so love this book and I know Linda does as well.

The photo on the left was mounted on a back of an old frame backing I had ripped off. but loved the look of it.



There is more to come this is just the first halve of the book. Enjoy.
