Another look of surprise.  Maybe there is a killer bee heading her direction! :-)

 Each of the image focal points, the people, are looking at something.  I do not know what.  No matter as that makes it even more interesting.

Today I worked on the felt crow I am making.  I thought I was pretty much done but then I took a photo of it and did not like the head.  So I spent time working on the head.  Now I have to let it sit for awhile so that fresh eyes will tell me if I am done or need other adjustments.

I also worked on mini journal six of twelve.  Tomorrow I will do pen work and see how it turns out.  I have to figure out what goes with zebras.

 I finished a huge project today that has taken me many days to complete.  I joined in with a postcard exchange through the San Diego Books Arts Guild.  There are seven book arts groups and 175 participants in the postcard exchange.  We were divided into groups of 16.  The theme for the postcards was Wish You Were Here and we were to create something about where we live.  I will share mine next month sometime.  Our next task is to create some sort of book to house the 16 postcards that we will receive.  August 1 is the deadline for that.  I think I will create a clamshell box but there are other choices for me to explore.

Don’t you wonder what is on people’s minds sometimes.  Maybe we don’t want to know!  Hmm!

 There needed to be black on the left side of the spread, perhaps there could be even more of it.

 Have I told you my plan for the top of the box that will house all twelve mini journals?  I found a pattern for making crows out of felt.  It all seems pretty simple.  My idea is to create a small crow which will be sitting on a finial atop of the handmade box.  See box below.....
