April in Paris

I've been working on this book for quite a while. I made it for my best friend, who adores everything French, and particularly loves Paris. The pages are glued together and I painted matchboxes gold and cut niches for them in the pages. I still don't feel it's quite finished. But it's been fun.








And if you don't understand what the gnome has to do with Paris....one of my favorite movies is "Amelie". It's a French film & if you've seen it, I'm sure you remember Amelie's father's gnome...if not, than you're missing out on a wonderful movie. One of my personal favorites.
