gelli plate print-notebook swap - post from Aug. 2013

Hi all, thank you so much for visiting my blog.

It's quite a while now since I asked one of my artistic idols, Patti Tolley Parrish from Inky Obsessions, if she'd swap one of her awesome gelli print journals with me. To my huge amazement and delight she agreed :-D
Without further ado, this is what I got:

An awesome piece of printed fabric with gorgeous colors. I really must give this another go. My first piece had hardly any color on it. Isn't it fabulous? Love the butterflies and the script, also the leaves of course. I wish you could touch it, it has a wonderful feel to it.

Some more absolutely stunning fabric, I so love these ... a feast for the eyes. I will treasure all those amazing pieces until something very special comes to my mind what I can do with them.
And please have a closer look at this marvelous necklace! Also an explosion of yummie colors, I love how they merge so beautifully ...

Fab envelopes with cards and a tool for the gelli plate - I don't know what it's called, but I'm eager to try it :-)

I asked for some black and white duct tape because here in G we only have the plain black and grey ones, so she send me some fantastic moustache tape - doesn't it look fab? Along with gorgeous little tags and a terrific foam flower stamp. Can't wait to try this either ...

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd - last but not least - the journal she made for me (and the moonshadow mist, I SO love these ... how could she possibly know?):

 Look at this fantastic closure and those terrific beads ... the colors, the touch ... *sigh* I could just sit and stroke it LOL

Here some random awesome pages:

I'm no person of exuberant words, but let me assure you I'm beyond delighted with those gifts! My heartfelt deepest thanks to you, Patti!
I hope I didn't leave out anything, that would be a shame. I kept all the things in the box they came in but with those many little curious hands you never know ...

And if you want to know what Patti got from me please have a look at this vid, from approximately 00:36 on ...

Thank you so very much for stopping by and admiring this heap of yummieness with me.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx
