We Are Famous Glamorous ZAFTIG Artists

More ZAFTIG Book Pages for the ZNE Convenzione Swap. This is the "WE are Famous Glamorous Artist" Collection. As I have mentioned, I am using the infamous "supplies on hand" stash of stuff! I had coffee/tea stained, these tags for my soldered scrabble tiles for the Charm swap at the Castle in early June, and had a few left. I made several of the page with the old car and the checked background. The photo is of my dad and his sister, mother and step grandfather. I had printed a page full for some special project that would present itself...and here it is. There are several versions of it with different sized photos or different colored ribbon. The checked background is from the vintage playing card stash...what don't I have a stash of in the basement?

The Tea party scene is a ZNE collage sheet image. And the chip board heart is from some Valentine ATCs I made and actually sold on ebay several years ago. The twin girls and girl-y threesome are Dover clip art images that had been hanging around waiting to embellish a project. The background paper with the twins is from my nephew's rehersal dinner invitations that I made two years ago.

The stamp "we are famous glamorous artists" is from Stamp Francisco. The ribbons and fibers are from my ribbon and fiber stash, of course!

There is still time to sign up for the swap and get your pages in the mail, if you can't attend the convenzione!

ZAFTIG - Under Construction

Under construction! Finally time to work on some art. These are chunky book pages. Zaftig Chunky Book Pages. So...the book will be deliciously plump, and carry its extra weight very well! AHHH don't you love that definition!

zaftig : Deliciously plump, or carrying your extra weight very well.

Zaftig Chunky Book pages measure 4 by 4 inches. One should allow about 1/4 - 1/2 inch on the left side for binding. I'm suppose to make 30. Here is what has happened so far. I have posted a couple before, but I have since added to them. Some of these are still under construction.

These are going to be sent off to California in a couple of weeks! ( Before July 19, as I am heading out on the mission trip with church that day...we're heading to Gulfport, Mississippi to work with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Wow....that's coming up here pretty quickly, we'll be back July 26.)

I digress...of course. I am trying to make the pages from "supplies on hand". There is an over abundance of "supplies on hand". But if you are an artist/craft person, you know the hazards of a new project and the desire that over comes your common sense and makes you head out to Red Lead or one of those cool on-line stores like Altered Abbey, and you just have to buy something new for the occasion, with some women it's shoes. I can't find shoes to fit, but I can find art supplies .....no problem!

Plus, with the money I save...lol....I'll have that much more to spend at the Art, Paperie & Pleasantries Fair held on Sunday August 24, in Pleasanton, California. ( Yet another ZNE Convenzione Event!)

The Zaftig Book Swap is another exciting feature of the ZNE Convenzione!
