Always take the scenic route...


I have always loved the book covers on Reader's Digest selections books!  So I cut the cover off carefully - the aged pages make good collage fodder.  I then made a color copy of the photo (by Richard H Stewart) and enhanced the bathing suits with colored pencil and glued it to the book cover.  I added a Tim Holtz chat sticker and dyed some Tim Holtz crinkle ribbon to make the hanger.  Finally I embellished it with some vintage buttons and a tiny shell.  Voila!

This is going to a dear friend who loves Hawaii and is lucky enough to own a place there.  We both have a love of walking scenic routes.  Hope she has a special place for this.
