Messing around with book covers..

 One of my graduate school professors once called me a Renassaince woman--I am pretty sure that referred to the fact that I have a wide variety of interests and activities  (and only a few skills that are truly mastered as  a result).    So once again, off in a different direction!

         I have a pile of book covers from the old books I have dismembered for decorating purposes.  And    

        this one in particular simply called for something special to happen.  I love the central panel and its aged weathered look. 

                                                

    I added some birds cut out of vintage paper...

And a canvas twisted rosette.

 

 Stamped words on canvas cover the original title and author printed on this cover.



A bit of timeless inspiration to hang on the wall in the corner by my desk,
