I have been having so much fun with each new vintage dictionary page...so many words to inspire and who knew that a dictionary could be so much fun...I created these two new pieces....one for the word bird and one for the word poppy.....I have a whole 593 pages to go through...so this should be a fun project to see come to life....
I also thank all of the sweet people that have commented on my past pieces and left me some words for inspiration of new pieces....I am working away on the ideas you left and will have more to post each and every day...
Happy Creating and Thank you for popping by!
the 1940s Dictionary Series.....
1. Fashion - a piece inspired by Fashion week 2011
2. Doll - a piece for If's theme "toy"

There's something very cheerful about these. I'm listening to sunny music too. Thanks for your well wishes - hope your ill feeling is short lived!
These are wonderful, I can see them all framed and hung together gallery style in a child's room.
Je ne suis pas étonnée de votre non renoncement et comprends votre addiction... magnifiques les coquelicots...
Ce serait génial de le faire aussi avec des pages de dictionnaire français!
Gros bisous
Wow - what an intriguing project! Do you cut out the pages or are you doing these in the actually dictionary?
I absolutely love it! And what you learn when working - amazing!

Thank you Kristin!!! I have a lot of pages to go...but this is so much fun when you need a little break from projects!!!
this is a neat project, very vintage look to it, nice.
I did a series of watercolors on book pages too, where I circled words to make a message....you're absolutely right...they are very addicting!!!!
I love what you did with dictionary words....having the whole collection would be like owning the coolest, best-ever illustrated dictionary there ever was...haha!
The poppies are my favorite right now :D

Lovely! Are these digital? I'll have to see if I can find the previous ones, as I don't think I've seen them yet.

This is a cool idea! I hope you will show us more when you complete them.

These are lovely. The bird one (first pic) is my favorite.
