DOWN on the FARM


This was last month's Mixed Media swap, altho' I used mainly paper.

It measure 3 inches x 11/2 inches and is ,obviously, an accordian book.

Both Bevlea and I played a part in making this...she found some of the images and printed them out and I placed them onto the backgounds.

The "reins" on the stubborn mule on the front allows the book to be tied closed...unfortunately I don't have a pic of that tho'.

These pics were taken before I added my signature to it...a black crow flying above the ducks...maybe the recipient of the book will send me an image of it if I ask nicely...vbg.

POST SCRIPT:
Debbie has sent me a pic of the crow on the page...and it has a mind of it's own as to where it wants to be positioned  here on this page so I apologise for it being out of order.
