The Many Faces of Mona Lisa (Boekie) from Cheryl Penn

You all know Cheryl's Mona Lisa mail-art call. It's got so many fantastic contributions, better than a museum! Cheryl made a boekie with the first four entries when the project was still very young, and I am the happy owner of one of them. Here are a few pictures for you.
Oh, I almost forgot the poem, I couldn't quite figure out wether it was from Keats or from Penn:

For many days Da Vinci has set in
her thrall.
Forever will he.
He has not eaten and his man
servant despairs.

The Marchese is cross but
understanding.
What man cannot be held by her
captivating eyes.
(I think that's Penn?)

some shape of beauty
Moves away the Pall
From out dark spirits
(and that must be Keats)

If I got the order right I think I prefer Penn to Keits. In which case I apologize to Keits. If I got everything wrong then I'm only the usual clueless CB ;-))

Lovely. Thanks for posting it.  I'm still working on mine.  I see the first one in the boekie is one I remember as yours.  How sweet of Cheryl to put the boekie together and send it to you.

Me, too, me, too! 'Tis a amazing collection, I agree with Marie...better than a museum!

And now I add scanned copies from the newly arrived Monas.

'Just gotta love the haptic painted cover, too (mmmmm, aromas divine!)
