I also thought of titling this post "Here Comes the Sun"...
My entry in Sue's Alphabetica book:
This was a most clever book. Sue took a set of ABC file dividers (I believe they were vintage), punched holes in them and used 3 binder rings to hold them altogether. The dividers were quite sturdy, so it must have been a lot of work to punch all those holes! Her artwork on the cover and the sign-in page was just lovely.
I chose "S" initially thinking of sunflowers, but one thing led to another and so... all the words start with "sun" - most being compound words. Yes, I got out the dictionary for this one! The sun has miscellaneous confetti pieces held under the netting. It's a "shaker sun"!
(The dividers were a little too big for my scanner bed, so the edges got cut off a little - including the letter tabs.)
This is beautiful!!
I love the little words - really great stuff!

Thank you so very much for your wonderful contribution to my journal. It is so fun! I can hardly wait to see it in real life.
As for punching all the holes, I was lucky enough to get a brand new tool called a Cropadile that made punching all the holes like cutting through butter. This thing is awesome. It sets eyelets as well, and will even punch through metal with very little effort needed. It is a wonderful tool for my starting to get arthritic fingers.
Again, thanks for sharing your art with me. Sue

Leticia...I think that is so cool how you used all those "s" words. Great page as always :0)
