This one has been added to one of my journals.
I scanned this one into my computer and added a piece of lined paper behind it so that I had somewhere to write in the envelope window.
I've also been getting some pages finished in an altered book round robin that our art group's running. These are pages in Dot's book. As you can see they're all about colour.
Lastly, I had to show this fabulous quilt that one of my students made. Jaz is doing a university course in textile design and this was one of her pieces she submitted. She printed a lot of the fabric herself, especially all of the text and photographic images. It's wonderful to see in real life. Jaz has a flicker site here if you would like to see more of her work, she has some fabulous textile designs she's printed.
a close up of some of the detail.
As much as I could get in one go, again Jaz has more on her flicker site.

Dear Ro, your blog has a new look!! I love it, and as usual it is filled with exciting ideas, color and designs so unique to you. Your creativity is boundless. roxanne
I love your envelope ideas and the bright pages in the altered book. It has really cheered me up on a rainy day here in England.
HI RO!
Thanks for always stopping by. I really appreciate it.....my posts are few and far between, but I am still here. I am just about to do post #200. You'd think that would have happened ages ago.
Your work just keeps evolving and getting richer and richer. I also love stitching on everything now. It adds such a beautiful dimension to your work which was so multi faceted to begin with.
Great to hear from you.

Gorgeous art work! Using those envelopes is such a great idea. You are seriously one of the most creative artists around!
Jez's quilt is quite unique. Love all the little details. Simply perfect!
I love what you have done with the envelopes. I am now saving mine from all the mail I get at work. I love the idea of the window to whats behind.
Your pages are so vibrant and colourful. Beautiful
Lee:)
