Book

This style book is learned from Julie Prichard's class. I liked it so well I made another.






It measures 51/2 x 81/2. With a mixture of collaged pages

and neutral painted pages for background beginnings


I kept the paints soft, but bright.












Here is a photo of the book standing open...(before the cover is added.

Collaging Backgrounds...

Collaging can be intimidating...especially when you are careful and exacting in placement...don't.
Pick some complimentary colors...texts what have you and glue it down.

These pages will become a journal...pretty cool if you ask me... I am being inspired by Julie from lost luggage...we take this journal to the next level when part 2 of the class come into play.

We decorate the pages journaling!

I only have 6 of the 12 pages side 1 finished for this afternoon....

Even after i loosened up it is still a fairly time consuming job...it will be worth it though!!!

Her book example is amazing!

I hope I didn't go to dark...I plan to have some lighter pages too to mix into each other.

Thank you for stopping by...I enjoy our visits a lot!

Covers

This picture is showing journal covers I am making to use for journals I am making.

I am in the process of decorating the pieces.

I took an old painting I did a long time ago for practice. It is of horses in a field. I cut the canvas up to make 4 journals. I used tissue paper glued onto the painting so I an use acrylics as my means of paint. The painting was done in oils and acrylics and oils don't mix. Now I am ready to decorate.

The background I began with coffee to stain and I affixed a few elements then wrote a message around the page...
