The Big Book of Numbers

Oh lookie what I did on Saturday morning! The Eleven pages went over well, despite my fears. My friend liked them just fine. I guess I was suffering from end of the project heebie jeebies or something. I definitely freaked out for nothing.

Here are all the pages (or almost all of all the pages... I was holding the camera up over my head to get this shot and this is the best of three!). There is only one I don't like and I'm not telling which one.

Two of the pages were done by ten year old kids! The blue jeans pocket, aka 15, which is the second from the right on the next to the bottom row in the photo above, and the one just below it, number 24. Jake did the blue jeans pocket which has a little packet filled with "15 things you can use in your art" and a purple satin, long-stemmed rose in it. The back of the page has a dictionary entry for "collection" and some duct tape. 24 is all hand stamped with a collage of a baby in the middle and a shrink plastic clock. The back has the old nursery rhyme, "sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye, four and twenty black birds baked in a pie" on the back with some black birds and a pie. Maddie did that page and had lunch with us later. Her mom was also in the swap. Great pages! These kids have a complete grasp of collage and have done some very nice, very sophisticated pages. Maddie's mom, Karen, did a really great page for 4, which included stamped and distressed telephone book pages and torched and patinated fine copper mesh.

Thanks to Jane for hosting this swap and to Debbie at Frenzy Stamper in Scottsdale for providing the space and sign up services, etc.
