This one is also a postcard and has been posted to anyone yet.  It will soon but it has to be the right person.  I love the rabbit in it.

I really loved making this piece.  It is also not in the accordion journal and was sent off to my friend, Jacki who lives in Southern California.

This piece actually did not make it into the accordion book.  It was so different composition wise that I felt it did not belong.  However, it is one of my favorites in the Bill series.  I made it into a postcard and  sent it off to an art friend.

I am especially fond of the vintage skin diver images I found.  I like how strong this one appears.

There are something like 24 works in the Letters to Bill Series.  Over a year ago I spent a day at garage sales and I found a box of letters all addressed to a man named Bill who had once lived in North Carolina.  How his letters got to Everett, WA I do not know.  I decided to use the envelopes for collage substrates.  You can see some of the envelope showing through from the background.

One thing that I particularly enjoyed about creating this piece is using tissue paper that I created after scanning bottle caps.  You can see them in the upper left corner.  I am so pleased to have found the Japanese vintage baseball cards.  I just like the look of them.
