More Marie

I tried tying folded watercolor paper into my folder (see earlier post)  but that just didn't work so good.  The pages were too loose, and if someone wanted to do a spread ( and who doesn't?) there would be way too much space in the middle.  Sewing seemed best to hold the pages tight.  Then, I found this book cover I saved to make a journal with.  Very soft feeling linen cover in a lovely grey shade with a silver fleur de leur embossed in silver which seemed to fit the MA theme... kismet!

 I sewed my two signatures into the book, decorated the edge to extend it out over the papers, and just put the book into the folder.

I added a formal written invitation to play in my "book" and RSVP cards for sign ins.  Perfect!  And, I found the perfume decor in Vegas, what is more French than that?

A Marie painting greeting her guests, and some "sensual pleasures" they might enjoy....in my book which is now on its way to Hawaii!  I have never been to HI and don't ever expect to, but it is nice to know my "art" is making a visit there!

Please forgive blogger and the cyber "glitches" for turning my pictures sideways... how do the little buggers do that??
