Hi dearest Dawn,
this is a very beautifull art piece, I love what you did with Mary`s images, the sweet woman, just fits so wonderfull inside that page you made for her, with the antiq lace and seam binding- so lovely.
And the little nest is a wonderfull building of all kind of nature things, how very clever those small birds are ? What a great gift,sweetie.
Wishing you a happy monday- working with the soap, and wishing you lots of luck for Atlanta market,wednesday,dear.
Love and hugs, Dorthe
OHMYGOSH Dawn! I LOVE this! You put in details I would never think of doing...the fringe around the envelope..is that cheescloth behind the image? Brilliant!
Beautiful art piece! Great job!

Oh everything is just perfect and that nest....there is nothing sweeter in nature than to see how our little female bird friends fashion their homes with all the beautiful natural raffia that nature has to offer! We had a robin build a nest dear our front door and she had two sets of babies...it was so darling and I so miss her. SHE IS DONE!
Enjoy your day, Anita
I was trimming bushes this weekend and found three little birds nests and lined them up on a bench hoping to preserve them.
And your art~ I always admire your work and ability to place the things I love~ lace...ephemera...buttons....all together to create a beautiful piece. You did it again!
Happy Monday

Good morning Dawn,
yet again a beautiful piece of artwork. How do you come up with all the great ideas? Have a wonderful week

Your finished project has inspired me to try my hand at this. I would love to use a picture of my sweet great great Aunt. Did you use just regular seam binding and then tea stain it or is it a product that you buy that way?
Good luck at the Mart. How exciting for you.
Hugs

I always love seeing your creations, Dawn. You are so talented! You rose to the challenge beautifully.

Your artwork is gorgeous! I love the crinkled seam binding and the creative use of the envelope. I hope you have a wonderful day at the soap shop!
Hi Dawn:
I love what you created with the challenge image. You are such a wonder with the details! An inspiration to all, my friend.
I just received a box from my BFF in Wisconsin. Her mom had saved FOUR hummingbird's nests and one from another, larger bird. The hummer's nests even had hair from their black dog in it! Now to decide what to do with them! More inspiration from The Feathered Nest, I'm sure! ;-)
Have a wonderful week, Sweetie.
xoxo

How sweet...and beautiful! I'm sure the soap shop smells wonderful! I love handmade soaps! ♥
Your challenge piece is amazing. I love what you have done with the pieces Mary gave us. I especially love the fabric ties on each side and the way you place the image of the envelope on fabric. wow!
Lovely piece!
Your project came out beautifully...beyond beautifully. I will be interested to see what others do with it as well. Speaking of detailed nests, your project demonstrates that the details matter. Best of everything with the soaps. I know that your creative touches will be a big help.
Your piece is gorgeous, just as I knew it would be! I can't wait to see what you do with the nests!
Beautiful work! Have fun with the soap, I am sure the scents are luscious.
Fabulous dear! You are shiny. I just love seeing what you have found and delighted in. Thank goodness for your little place of joy here! Blessings.
Well, don't know what happened to my comment lost connection for a moment! It was full of love and sugary thanks for the way you see life... Ahh... well, hope your heart heard it anyhow. Love, Amy
This is such a wonderful collage - fantstic use of the images! Gorg nest too, x
I've been looking forward to seeing your creation. When I was contemplating mine, I kept saying, "Wonder what Dawn would do?!" It is truly beautiful!!!

PS so love your nest too. Isn't it amazing how wonderful they build their nests by using all that is around them?
Thanks for sharing your precious gift.
barbara jean
Oh Sweetie,
She turned out amazing! I love each & every element you used. You know how I love the burlap & the wads of seam binding, all of it...perfect! You really took this challenge to the next step! Don't work too hard, & save some energy for some late night phone calls. Lisa
Hi Dawn,
Truly exquisite!!! I decided to join in too in this challenge. Was lots of fun, no?
Nelly
Hi Dawn
Love this collage, but then what's not to love! The images are beautiful and I love how you put it on a book cover using lots of seam binding! Gorgeous
Blessings

Hey Sweetie. Love you're Miss Mary hanging. It's just beautiful. How you find the time to do so much especially adding the soap business in, I'll never know.
I just wanted to let you know my 1st giveaway for my one year blogiversary ends tonight(Tues)I hope you get a chance to come by and enter.
I think of you everytime I get 2 seconds on the blog, no I take that back because I don't get 2 seconds often and I think of you much more than that.
Hugs...Tracy :)
Dawn, your cover is beautiful...i just did something similar using an old letter.. though i like the way you framed yours!
I though someone crafted that nest...but obviously it was a little bird and not a person..what a work of art! It amazes me what birds can do with just a beak!
You did an amazing job with the Miss Mary challenge . . . beautiful!
I love your collage of Miss Mary. This is in my head to do something similar. You did beautiful!
Have fun at market and sell tons of orders.
Smiles, Cyndi
Awesome artwork, dear lady. What I love about your pieces is they are always balanced and have just the right amount of materials. I like the different types of fabrics, gauze adds so much and it is so simple. You know just where to put the buttons!
Linda
Hi Dawn,
Your collage is absolutely stunning, I love all the beautiful laces and fabrics and the images are so beautiful!! I am always in awe of your creativity and gorgeous artwork! I just signed up for Mary's Glue Book Class and I am really excited to start! Sure wish I lived in your area so I could attend your art class at Blue Sky Studio. Congratulations Dawn, how very wonderful for you sweetie!
Hope you're having a beautiful day~
Hugs, Carol Anne
Hi Dawn, A lovely finished Miss Mary Challenge. You have such a distinctive style, and signature look, I think I would have known your beautiful work anywhere. I'm always inspired by your art. Love, Penny
You did a great job! You are so very wonderfully creative. I admire people who can take a few objects and make something truly beautiful out of it.
Sarah told me last night to send you a hug from her. ((HUG))
