Deco-time

One of the things I swap with my penpals is Decos. A Deco is a small booklet that someone creates for themselves or for someone else. The Deco will be sent from person to person until all pages are filled. What you do is to decorate a page according to the theme of the Deco. And when you have done your thing, you send it to another penpal. The last person to enter the Deco, to decorate the last page, sends the full Deco home to the owner/the person it is made for. It's a nice little booktlet of art. So I thought every now and then I post some of my entries in Decos here. Here are some that I have done this month:

Theme: Skulls


Theme: Spooky Chic


Theme: Victoria Frances


Theme: Black and White


Theme: Gothic


Theme: Vintage Dresses


Theme: Dark


Theme: Snowy Graveyards


Theme: Lyrics


Theme: Lyrics
