Little magnet beauties

Black Beauty by Anna Sewell

A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle

Are you there God, it's me Margaret by Judy Blume

This week's Take A Word challenge is "Beauty". I decided to make a fabric magnet of the "Black Beauty" book cover, one of my favorite childhood books. I also loved Judy Blume books, and this was her best! Last, but not least, I had to do my absolute favorite "A Wrinkle in Time".

Cassie Shella said...: These are great! What an awesome idea:) I was a big Judy Blume fan as a teenager as well, I can't believe you found an original cover for "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret". Wow does that bring back memories. Can't wait to see your art journal pages.; January 10, 2011 at 5:22 PM
