Nothing Gold SMASH
This is the first of my favorite poems by Robert Frost. I loved Nothing Gold Can Stay from the first time I read it in The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton in middle school. It's been 25 years and he is still my all-time favorite poet. I will be working on SMASH pages for two other poems as well as one dedicated to the man. Can you guess my two other favorite poems? (Hint: one was made popular again in a recent book and movie.)
This page was made by adding a page removed from the green SMASH folio, then adding it to the current book with washi tape. I ran the page through my printer using Batik Regular font. I used CTMH's Brown Bag ink with SU's retired Season of Friendship for the tree. The leaves are stamped in Lucky Limeade and Versamark with gold embossing powder. For the background, I used SU's retired Extreme Elements with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks in Frayed Burlap, Tea Dye, and Vintage Photo. I also used those inks to ink the edges of the finished page. Last, I used Caramel Latte and Spun Sugar Smooch Spritz on the page. I am debating about adding some orange and red leaves, but like the effect for now. Thanks for looking! April
