I've been collecting tatty, torn, scribbled on vintage kid's books for awhile now and then I came across some old wooden building blocks and DING! I've started recovering blocks with images that take my fancy. These are from the first batch...the second lot sort of tell a story about all sorts of things: Polar exploration, grand houses, maps, bodies of water, the Brontes, botanicals, fairytales, birds, clouds are coming soon. Thanks for looking.Tuesday, July 10, 2007

Those are great! I covered some blocks with paper for XMAS and it was an easy way to get a great effect. The bird is especially nice. I like using ones of different shapes too--good idea!
