I found this book, John James Audubon, at the swap-meet for $2.00. It has beautiful picture after picture of birds, which I'm thinking of photo copying for craft projects, I don't want to take apart such a nice book. It was fun to display with a natural style vignette.

I love, love the idea....how you displayed it is SO MUCH better than just laying it on a table somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI captured a bit of the Irish Lore today in my SHOW N TELL. Do stop by for a wee bit o' the Irish Luck if you can!
now, that is frugalicious...you can pic a diff page everytime you vignette it.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to post pics of your projects. It will be fun to see what you come up with.
ReplyDeleteI'm SO pleased that you are not destroying that wonderful book--a treasure! I just came over from My Romantic Home. Your blog looks lovely. Have fun crafting with those copies!
ReplyDeleteThat's a GREAT find! I have a HUGE Audubon book of birds from my teens that I still LOVE. You may not know this, but it's an interesting piece of lore...he did all of his paintings from dead birds, that's why sometimes they look a little "off" in the painting. That's just how it was done back then! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the book, it looks great displayed like that too!!~ I am your newest follower:)
