Summer Celebration 2010 -- Challenge Link is UP

I'll spare you the details, but the last couple of days have been straight out of hell for me, but here's the link part, finally!! 

The boats adrift in the harbor
As thoughts in a calm mind
A liquid sun beaming today and forever
We hoard happiness a smile at a time

Welcome friends.  If you made a piece for the Summer Celebration 2010.  Please link up below.  Thanks for playing along.  

Altered Vintage Glass Bottles - Shells

Current completed work.  I love altering these tiny bottles.

 Upcycled vintage bottles from a yard sale, antiques shop and/or thrift shop.

Shells from the beach, lace, vintage images, glitter

Broken jewelry pieces (a pin), vintage book pages, So Sweet!!

Do you have a favorite art book you use for inspiration?  I'm always in search of mixed media, collage, altered art books that might be new to me.  

Do you have 1 or more that you love, used, or found very inspirational and want to recommend on one of your blog posts?  I'm planning a link party soon.  Let me know if you're interested.

 Until next time, have a wonderful day!
