My latest preoccupation has been dismantling antique newspapers and documents into their component parts - letters.
Letters that are teeny tiny.
Titchy, even ...
I've been attaching them to wee pennants and stringing them on linen thread ...
Making micro-garlands from bits and snippets of French goodness.
They are almost impossible to photograph as I don't have long & skinny photography skills.
CELEBRATE stretches 11.5" in length.
BEAUTIFUL IS 11" and CREATIVE is a puny 10".
There is extra thread on the ends for tying, and all the paper parts are between 80 and 180 years old. Everything, down to the last little letter, is original.
I've also made BON ANNIVERSAIRE (22") and HAPPY BIRTHDAY (19.5"). Far too long & skinny to photograph or scan, but similar in appearance.
This week single words are $7.50 and double words are $10.50, plus the cost of a stamp.
I would also be perfectly happy to make you a custom garland with the special words or names of your choosing.
xoxo
