Round Robin Journal #6

Angie's Journal
Angie did a page with a scalloped edge at the beginning of her journal
and I thought it was so pretty. I should have posted a picture of it here,
but alas I have already sent her journal on its way.
Anyhow, I've done one of my own here at the 
beginning of my pages in her journal.

I tried my hand at an English robin, so different from the American robin,
the only similar characteristic being a red breast.


My American robin in Kim's journal.
I've just noticed that I put a crown on both birds!
I'm getting predictable...


 The crown is punched out . . . it looks different depending on the light in the photo.
Sunlight coming in behind it makes it look white:
The poem on the front is by Wordsworth:


Art thou the bird whom man loves best,

The pious bird with the scarlet breast,

Our little English robin;

 The bird that comes about our doors,

 When autumn winds are sobbing?
  

Happy weekend, everyone!

Stop back for a cup of tea on Sunday ~
it's the Fairies' Tea Party!

  4. Oh Maggie it's BEAUTIFUL!!! Love everything about it - the subtle patterns, the delicate colours, the serene expression on her face, the poem, and that scalloped edge really suits it. Not to mention the gorgeous little robin (you've educated me too - I never knew English robins were different to American ones!) I can't wait to see it in real life - thank you so much xx
