For an upcoming round robin with the QB5 ladies (see below), I chose the theme of Marie Antoinette for my book.
We each have different themes and are creating pages no larger than 6×4″ in paper, fabric or whatever our hearts desire.
My postcard will be making it’s way to Margaret in Switzerland, she will create a page for Marie and then mailing to Linda in Texas, on to Nathalie in Missouri, then Carole in New Zealand and back home to me in Virginia….WOW what a trip!
*click for a closeup*
Here are the front (“just a girl”) and back (“oh that Marie”) of my first page for my Marie book
I will be creating covers for my round robin book after it’s returned to me. I’ll also decide then whether I’ll bind it on the left side or at the top. Can’t wait for the pages to start arriving in the mail 
*Monday update: late last night I decided to add some foil from a champagne label to the back of my postcard. Mr Magpie is very observant and noticed that when I flipped Marie to look the other way, the writing at the top was backwards (it needed something there anyway LOL)*

What a wonderful project Patty, I love these pages. I’m in the middle of some Marie artwork myself…using my daughters modelling photos and pictures from Itkupilli.
You have inspired me as always!

Hi, I am fascinated by the artwork that you have put up here but am not sure exactly what it is and how you achieve those effect. Do you use a mixture of fabric and paper to create these covers or cut-outs?
