Friends look away ... you may receive one of these, one day, but I could not resist show and tell. I
almost got to
the point of
buying a card last week. There were none in the stash and no time to create. Yesterday I spent a 4 blissful hours playing with paper - lovely silk, handmade, textured and printed papers;the result this card and tag series. It was a serene pause in the whirlwind of my mind - all was quiet and the focus was on the paper - no deep thoughts, no other plans, no wishing for other resources... just cutting and arranging beautiful paper.
Back to reality and I have my desk to tidy, at least a little, before I can create anything else on it. I would like to spend another afternoon doing a second series in another colour way, perhaps one which is a little more unisex.

what a gorgeous sea of colour!!!
(pun wasn't intended, but now that I've read the previous comment, I guess the colour made me think of the word "sea")... just so pretty!!!
Oh no, Julie, don't bother going to my blog, I've seen you since I last updated it (so it's been THAT long!)
:)
these are beautiful Julie, I especially love the color choice. I know I often need a card to include in a parcel or just because - what a great idea to create a line of them to have at the ready.
XOXO
The the color palette you used on these, I just stumbled upon your blog through you comment on Leighanna Light's blog and LOVE all of your work. Of special note - I've never thought of dyeing buttons! Gonna have to try that!
hi Julie,
You have been making such beautiful jewellery lately. Such a pleasure to view all the treasured findings you have posted on your blog too! :o)

Love the colour Julie, truly beautiful cards.
WOW! what a stunning collection of cards, these are so beautiful and remind me of sailing over tropical oceans on summer days. You have certainly found your mojo and lets pray it stays with you, as we are all benefiting from seeing your exquisite work, take care and stay creative from Charmaine :-)xx
Happy sigh.....these cards are divine Julie and I feel peaceful and calm just looking at them.
