JUST WANTED TO SHOW YOU SOME PAGES FROM MY LATEST BOOK !!!

I created this book for my very dear friend YVONNE  : http://yitte.blogspot.dk/   as a thank you for the 
always stunning and beautiful  gifts she is sending me !!


I wanted it to be a nature book, and used  birds transferes and pictures.


I also incorporated nature finds ,like seaweed,


dried leaves 


and beautiful bark


Ofcourse there should also be lots of old laces, many of which I dyed first,myself!!


The skeleton leafe on the cower, is one I bought !!


Here the spine , in old fragile lace, and pearls !!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This coming week the schools are closed for fall vacation, and I`m 
having wonderful visits from my dear grandchildren - coming 
this friday  to stay with us one week :-)

So please dear friends, there might not be much time for blogging , but I will be back 
checking out your blogs ,with all the exiting news, which I alwayes miss,
when not able to visit you !!

I wish you all a wonderful weekend and week ahead ,
LOVE AND HUGS
Dorthe

This is such a wonderful book Dorthe...a bit of nature on every page. I made the photos large so I could see all the beautiful details!!

I also wanted to tell you that I found a new blog today. It's called Cottage Dreams, and it's written by Alexandra Eitel. She has some beautiful dolls that you made. The one with the white hair and the dress trimmed with the pink heart is so pretty. I think it's one of my favorites that you have made. Here's a link to her blog posts that show your lovely work.
