Happy Sunday! Her Heart Contents

Happy Sunday, I hope you are all enjoying the day God has given us.

Speaking of giving..... Queenie has sent me a treasure she made.

I do love it my friend. Thank you so much!

The wrapping....sigh..so pretty!

Layers of laces to create with, silk ribbon,,,I tucked inside the wedding dress sleeve.

Queenie always finishes the back of her art just as beautiful as the front.

Notes in the envelope.

Queenie, you made my day, you really did.

Photo Collage from the 1800's

Yes, again, the art started long ago.

The Victorians had more time on their hands, and were some of the first to play with scrapbooking and collage, using old photos.

I wonder what they would have done with Photoshop???

The book below is here

There are many albums from the 1800's on line at museums. The research I did was mostly at The Art Institute of Chicago.

So many more pages from the 1800's to enjoy.

Not copyright free, but very inspirational.

Have a nice weekend!

I am so jazzed to introduce KC Willis to you. I first discovered KC Willis on her website, http://www.lipstickranch.com/ some 5 or so years ago. I found her fiber art so inspiring. I never thought I'd ever really know much about her, but I knew she had a story. I certainly didn't think I would have any of her art between my fingers...but look! Do find the HGTV video and see her, and her magical home.

KC Willis is now blogging,,and you will find her style of writing and stories so enjoyable. I hope you will join me in her journey of talent, and tales, and secret weapons. She tells her whole tale here:
