Library of Congress Prints and Photos online was a great source of children's photos. I also used some of my family's photos. And I used paper, fabric, transparencies, napkins, paper towels, acrylic paint, matte medium, heavy gel medium, water color pencils, and some other stuff I can't remember now. So here's the booklet!
front cover
pages 3 & 4
pages 5 &6
pages 7 & 8
pages 9 & 10
back cover (with a copy of a zombie vs. human drawing by Brian).
p.s. i forgot to scan pages 1 & 2, maybe tomorrow...

Wow Joanie! I whole book! Very cool! Thanks for your cute comment on the street team blog - so happy to know you learned something...and obviously you ahd fun! I am CRACKING UP at that spread with the kids photos....I had just shown my daughter my nursery school and kindergarden class photos and I swear this looks JUST LIKE MY CLASSES.
Thanks for sharing Joanie!
What a fun project! :)bea
What a great book Joanie! I gotta say, zombie vs human may be my favorite :-) I love your stiching dancing around all the images! It's really a sweet and fun book.
Love those paper strips... I'm feeling a bit "uncertain" today - don't know what I shall start working on - and you just give me inspiration! YEAY! THANKS!
Hi Joanie, thanks for your sweet comment on my first blogpost!! I came here to rake a look at your work... I LOVE IT!! The book made of fabric... so awesome!! I know already that I will visit you again!!
This is some fantastic art. I know I'm a bit late getting here, but I am totally impressed by this book. Each page is more delightful than the next, and I didn't think that was possible, but it sure was. I especially liked the treatment of the spread with all the children. You have made one very artistic and delightful book to be enjoyed for years to come by both you and Brian.
Love the closeups of your super pages ... fab texture ... very cool!
Thanks for the Library of Congress link. I think it's really special that you and your grandson create together ... talk about quality time :)
