Baby-toes ... another Blogversary give-a-way • #2!

3 custom covered MOLESKINE® cahiers.
These plain journals are covered with
my paper scrapes and print samples.
The design inspiration comes from
"Baby Toes" a painting that is part of
my ongoing
cacti / succulent art series.

See that complete post HERE

This cacti series comes about from my weekly participation with the artist group CACTUS MONDAY. An open group from all over the world that meets regularly every Monday on the web and it is all about fun with "The Cacti!".
