Open Book Covers from Bygone Cards presented by BB

                                                      Hello and welcome one and all.

As far as i could gather what follows were childrens playing cards of a bygone age,and here in picture form a whole live long day gently unfolds. i put my wits together and made up each for printing my open book covers out for a book shelf in a make believe library were books whisper and chatter away in their own authors fancifull display.                                                                                                              
It is a boyish thing i realise but at 74 years of age i guess that i will never really grow up as others about  me do. Imagination knows no bounds of uncompromising rulership. i believe. BB

The card above might well be part of another spiffy set.  Anyway i have enjoyed piecing all those above and below together.

                                                             Tippy toes of sleepy eyes


                                                           Under such a  crimson sky

i wish you all happy sweet dreams in  total safety
many there are who will not,                                    
                                           and these i remember daily at this time                                                                                        with  the prayerful hope normality will soon                                  
 come their way again.

In My Minds Eye i Saw The Fuller Picture Well Before i Laid Bear Such a Plan as this * presented by BB*



TALES FROM THE RIVER BANK
writen down here by Paul Howes

It was a time within another deeper darker time,when life was by far less complicated.
Well at least upon the yellowing paper of peace loving well laid out books.


"Upon reason of my suprize,there is so much dusting to do."
'A well good job you do too. i'll pile the dried up twigs upon our winter roasting fire.'
           
 And so it was that they remained snug and warm,while outside was covered over in a frozen                 blanket  of sparkling white.    Well at least it covered over the hit or miss, misdeeds of greedy man.                                                                                        
.                                                                                             


                                The Yellowing Flickering Light a Shady Thing to Glimse Upon.

This little picture was made into a folding book cover by slicing the light bulb section down  from top to bottom  of  that section. One could say cut and paste from that which my eyes first saw as a possibility of deeper thought. i guess all ideas are like that,before they fast fade away to oblivion. 




                                              From the one a block of six was constructed.


And from that block a groping of twelve were made.

                           In this way i was able to reduce the size down to the ones i needed                                
                          in order to fill  the dolls house style of stacking my library shelving                                 
                of  28mm scale.  By block building in this way on my pc,
                           
                           it saved rather expensive printing paper wastage when printed out book size                                
                      arrived upon my scene.                                                                                                       

                       Stay safe,stay well and help others if you can.  i'll C U on the next  one. BB
