The first page I show, I used a photo I shot myself , and thereafter
painted on the photo ,to give it a totally other expression that it was
"born" with. I also used Gesso around the text, and the most beautiful seaweed below!
This page is mostly black,white and with a touch of green and brown.
The envelope is made from handmade paper (with real leaves)and I
added a feather and a driftwood piece to it.
Inked the page .....and stamped the bird.
And as you can see better here, also used a piece of bark I found yesterday
on my tour to the beach. The laces are an old piece,and a new one at the bottom.
This is very simple with paper napkin glued to the left, inks
on the right, and the beautiful embroidered leafe ...I
wrincled , gathered ? the fabric to get a beautiful effect!
Here is the spread- with a stamped and painted flower, a piece
of the most beautiful old collar and other old pices.
The threads are from a fishermans netting.
Well enough for today,- but I want to show you these most beautiful
earrings that dear Rhonda from http://alittlebitfrench.blogspot.dk/
have gifted me - I love the French charms and those beautiful crystals hanging below.
They came in sweet Rhonda`s lovely :France packet.
Thankyou my dear, this was so very sweet of you- giving them to me
just because you knew I love them -Hugs and love and thanks from my heart,
I also recieved TWO postcards from my mailman this week-
They both came from sweet Tanya from http://beadandneedle.blogspot.dk/
both send from Colorado where she spend some dayes , and also visiting
the grave of Buffalo Bill ! I would have loved being there ,studying a bit about those
proud people.
The beautiful lady I don`t know her story , but will google her....isen`t it
fantastic we can just do that ,and ...learn!
My dearest Tanya, thankyou so much for your handwritten cards to me,
I love them and think it is wonderful recieving real mail, from the
postman ,just once in a while! and so special when arriving from the other side of the world!

How wonderful! I love all the layers of lace and various textures you've added... a treat to look at and touch, I'll bet! Driftwood, feather and seaweed... awesome Dorothe!
Dorthe Dear your pages are creative magic. I love your layers of lace and paper and paint and driftwood and such. Lovely earrings from Rhonda. How sweet of Tanya to send you mail from Buffalo Bill. Blissful...

You have shared some lovely things the past few blog posts. Most beautiful is your wonderful fabric book. You have such a great way of putting just the right things together. I'm sure you must be enjoying the process of creating it...Nellie's DVD class sounds amazing!
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL DORTHE, such love and skill has gone into creating these gorgeous pages. xx
Guten Morgen, liebe Dorthe!
Endlich schaffe ich Dich zu besuchen, I am so sorry, because I am a Little bitlate.
Your work is so fine how ever, sweet friend! Ich liebe Dein fabric book. It would be a great experience for you - and for me to see :) Muss gleich mal nachsehen, wegen der DVD. My plan was also to make a Little fabric book. But the painting time will be not end. So schwelge ich in Farben und Ideen und Gedanken ... sicher weit Du, was ich meine ?
The sun is shining a Little bit more, but outside it is cold how ever. A good time for making paintings a bad time for my garden.
Ich schicke Dir viele liebe Grüße und Küsse - zu Dir an die Baltic Sea. Habe es schön, liebe Freundin wünscht Dir Deine Erika with hugs
Was für eine wundervolle Überraschung, liebe Dorthe.
Es ist wunderschön.
Liebe Grüße von Sophie xx

Oh my dear Dorthe, what a beautiful book you have created! Lovely images, beautiful laces, and above all, gorgeous treasures collected from Mother Nature.
Rhonda's earrings are so precious, I love everything she creates. And isn't it lovely to receive proper mail, a handwritten card?
Dorthe your use of natural elements always seems to make your pieces so much more developed and rich...lovely work. xox
Your book is beautiful Dorthe - the pages you are creating are so lovely - you know I love driftwood and seaweed too!
The page where you used your own photograph is so special - you should make more like that.
You've created some more beautiful pages for your book, my dear Dorthe. All the nature elements are very lovely.
How sweet of Rhonda to send you those pretty earrings.
Have a wonderful evening :-)!

I love the way you have added lots of natural elements together with your papers and lace. How special it is to receive post from a friend, nothing can ever replace a handwritten note from a loved one. Jayne x
Love how your book is " growing" under your hands. Fantastic pages with all those nature elements. Must be great now walking on the beach looking for other elements you can use in your book.
Love Yvonne

Dear friend
What amazing textures you brought together on your pages and they all work in harmony. Of course we all associate the images of birds with yourself.
Glorious gifts from your friends. I say those ear-rings are very special, we would all wish to wear them!
Wishes
Lynne
I just adore your book you are doing through Nellie's workshop. I have that DVD and haven't looked at it. You are inspiring me. Keep up the beautiful work Dorthe.
Love,
joanna
Hello dear Dorthe, a big WOW to your new bookpages!! They're truly gorgeous. I love the handmade paper envelope with the driftwood and feather and the bark beneath the bird. I also love how the last two pages you showed fit so well together as if they were one. The effect of the crinkled/gathered/wrinkled (??? don't know either) lovely piece of fabric is gorgeous, it gives it a very soft look. Just wonderful!
Love the beautiful earrings Rhonda send you and the wonderful historic cards. Google is a dear friend, you can find so much with so little effort. But nothing beats a good old library full of delicious (old) books, don't you think?
Big hugs and happy day, Wendy
Dorthe- I'm just in awe of your magical fabric book- these pages are amazing- I love the driftwood and the feather-/ it's simply magnificent. You must be having such a good time with this project--- and your beach walks lend more treasures to use on your pages!
How sweet of Tanya to send the postcards/ they are so vintage looking. She's a sweet lady!! Love her!
I'm sure you have another beautiful page for your book on your craft table right now!!
Vicki
