there's lots of fabulous paper out there (and one peek into my stash would reveal that i probably own at least two sheets of each of it!). but sometimes a sheet of really, really fabulous paper falls in your lap, and you want to do something really, really fabulous with it.....like showcase all it's fabulousness on the covers of an art journal.
but this isn't just any fabulous paper.......
it's paper that was lovingly and skillfully stenciled by my dear fabulous friend and partner-in-art-crimes martha lever.....
and not only is this paper fabulous,
it's also artsy, genuine, one-of-a-kind, colorful, unique, exceptional, primo, special, vibrant, one and only, zesty, sparkling, creative, energetic, and extremely imaginative......much like the fabulous martha-artist herself!
Beautiful!!! Ooohs and aaahs all around! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Martha is all of those things. And so is the recipient of this lovely gift. You both inspire.
ReplyDeleteThere's so much to love in this world, isn't there?
what could be better than to combine your fabulous handmade journals and Martha's superb stenciling.
ReplyDeletea perfect fit!!
Beautiful in deed.....but of course both of you are and very talented to boot.......

ReplyDeleteOh Lori it really is beautiful! I am so happy that you made the paper into one of your fabulous journals! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI did 16 envelopes today and I am getting faster but I spilled a whole bottle of Noodler's Bulletproof ink all over the floor and on my shoes and just missed Bucky. It was terrible! But after 2 rolles of paper towel---all was well.
rolles??? --> rolls---I guess there was a reason I was the first to sit down on the spelling bees in the 3rd grade.
ReplyDeleteooo I like that list of adjectives and that paper is definitely snazzy...love it!
