A | April 1, 2019 | card stock outline | Dictionary pages shredded

I found this old dictionary on the free table at the library. I decided for April I will focus on the #AtoZChallenge. So, I shredded several A pages from the dictionary to fill in this A.

People often ask about the use of book pages in quilling. Unless the page is a solid color, it typically doesn’t work well.

For this book (published in 1979), it offers an aged color (no bright white pages here). If I carry through with the A to Z theme, this will give me an opportunity to try different ways to showcase the words.

Since I used tiny scraps of paper, I made a smaller size heart than normal.

I realized the image I took is super fuzzy, but the day was fuzzy. We said goodbye to our dog Eddie. He was super stubborn and a barker, but such a faithful companion and shadow. He followed me everywhere. I miss him.

Here’s Eddie being patient with the new puppy Maggie in 2017.

I always take a quick photo after I complete a heart. Some didn’t survive my suitcase very well during my flight home on March 25.

Gold Shapes

Gold Shapes | March 25, 2019 | text weight strips

I made this before traveling home. It was a quick one.

Some of these didn’t travel well …. in other words, they were a bit crushed in the suitcase. I had bubble wrap, but it wasn’t fool-proof.
