Yes…I have made a list of things to make and send to help me focus and not get overwhelmed!

I also made a book to hold a lot of the things so I won’t forget (with instructions or tutorial links!)…thanks for all you do…

Tickets and fabric pockets are next! lol

Beautiful paper crafts! Those mini journals are fantastic :slight_smile: I recognize the characters for the floral journal…it has been ages but I guess I did retain some knowledge of the language :slight_smile:

Your faux stamps turned out great! And those book page tags…and wee origami dolls. Did you use a tutorial or just wing it? They are so cute!

Thanks…I had to google the kanji…lol…I just hope it was the right one…

I had a kit when I was a kid and just used one of my first dolls as a template…since I am trying to use up what I have and scraps, I did sort of just wing it! I use them for book marks and tags for RAK or swap extras.

I love that you called out your inspiration. They are all fantastic and sure to inspire others.
PS. The faux stamp of the girl with the metallic sun behind her is phenomenal. Do you know who the artist is?

Thanks for noticing…I am using the last book my mother was reading before her passing…I saved the bookplate with her name on it but I am using up the pages. Thank you.

Hello lovely, nice to see your post and beautiful work. The mini books and tags especially… I’m going to check out the original thread.

Is there a gallery for that swap? I’ve looked through the original thread and the swap-gallery tag but cant find it.
