What?  I haven't blogged about these before?!?

Well, here they are, and what a great time I had making them.  Ah, the pleasure of scissoring into old geography books and taking my revenge.  I was never an outstanding student of geography, but I was, and remain, very interested.

Here in the United States, we are a varied people.  Yet we often like the same things.  We like our grand buildings, we enjoy romanticizing the past, and the labeling of individuals is quite important to us.  We crave the wide open road and broad views.  We like gambling and railroads, circuses and speed.  We are gregarious people, but we need the privacy of our houses and property.

I'm loving the graphicness of these pieces.  They are strong.  I intend on making more.  But first, I need to gather up another load of vintage geography books.

Three of these pieces are for sale in my Etsy Shop.

I love these Kim! In fact, they might be my favorites of yours. Very strong pieces, each of them.
