A mention in the newest Somerset Studio

The latest issue of Somerset Studio is out. I just received mine. On the cover is the fat book collaboration I participated in with Dede Warren, Sue McPherson, Milli Wagoner and Debbi Greenlee earlier this year. It was decided to go with the "aubergine" call that Somerset Studio had put out. The article "Unexpected Connections" (pgs. 34-36) was written by Dede and tells all about the collaboration. We were all mentioned in the article but not all the pages were photographed. I will, however, correct that omission and feature all the inside pages of the collaboration on my blog. Dede assembled the fat books once our pages were sent to her and then she submitted a copy to Somerset Studio. AND, they picked it up for publication! Dede did a lot of work: writing the article, the assembly and submitting it. Thank you, Dede!

Here is the cover of my finished fat book. It came with the picture, one white feather, the pink spray and the white roses. I finished the rest once the completed book was returned to me.

I added a lot of things to complete my cover. I especially like the heavy fringe trim on the bottom of the book. It was a piece I had that just went perfectly with the aubergine theme. You can also see some pink rhinestones that I put on the trim under the picture. Just added a bit of sparkle to the cover.

I'm glad I did this because it was fun! My first collaboration.Thanks again to Dede Warren, Sue McPherson, Milli Wagoner, Debbi Greenlee and Ada Pringle. I will feature all the pages from my book in a few days. Stay tuned!
