Altered Book Continued

Here is the rest of the book of authors:

F. Scott Fitgerald--the decadent era of the 20s


The Bronte Sisters--I had forgotten they published using masculine names with Bell as the surname.


Virginia Woolf--the group picture is of the Bloomsbury group she was a part of. The desk was her writing desk.


Thomas Hardy--his picture is attached to a separator piece using grommets. His signature is attached to the back side. The map is of the Wessex of his fiction and poetry.

Did you do this then? I was a bit lost as you just described the book of authors. I thought maybe you had bought it. It's just lovely! And we have the same taste in literature.

Thanks, Sassy. The colors look nice on the page but they don't look so great on my laptop monitor.

Lynn, I made this with the help of my daughter. She went back to school after Christmas break, so I finished it up. I have never read Virginia Woolf, but she likes her a great deal. In fact, I managed to find a Virginia Woolf rag doll for her for Christmas--a very odd but lovely little doll she is.

Wonderful, Robyn.
I particularly like the Virginia Woolf one (even though it's one of your daughter's … sorry).

Hey Dive, don't be sorry. I did that one too while the daughter got ready to go back to school.

Very cool, Rob... I'm curious how to display it. The items created new layouts for the spreads, right, so you can only have one spread open at a time? They recently did a feature on a. books in our paper.

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.

Pope Leo IX (the Pope) JCF Bach (German composer) Jane Russell (of Gentlemen Prefer Blonds fame) Daniel Carter Beard (founder of the Boy Scouts of America) Jean-Paul Sartre (French philosopher) Maureen Stapleton (Academy Award winning actress) Mariette Hartley (who?) Prince William of Wales (the prince) but most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 45 years ago today, I was born in Alabama in a small town on the banks of the Tennessee River. Yesterday, someone asked me if my family has any birthday traditions. The answer is no. My family never cared very much, but I do remember a few birthday highlights. I was given a birthday party in the back yard when I was ten years old. Two years later, my sister got married on my birthday, so I was just a bit overlooked, although I did get a stuffed animal--it was a white Yorkshire terrier with an AM radio in its stomach. When I turned 20, a different sister took me to an outdoor performance of Dvorak's New World Sympho...
