250th Anniversary of the Birth of Thomas Jefferson

250th Anniversary of the Birth of Thomas Jefferson

This is a project I partcipated in 2003 with an online Yahoo group. There were seven of us who submitted 7x9 altered/mixed media pages that included quotes from Thomas Jefferson.

Happy Birthday Thomas Jefferson!!!!



I bound the pages with three rings and attached them within an vintage photo cover.
