Finally I've got myself into gear and made a journal. Had a massive fight with the sewing machine along the way, and I'm not convinced I've won yet. It may have all fallen apart by the time it reaches Italy. In the meantime, here's a few snaps of the cover and some backgrounds I've started off.
Fingers crossed it reaches you in one piece Palma!
Have fun with it.

ReplyDeleteOh,wow! I am looking forward to receiving this! Beautiful colours and designs!
ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely and so vibrant colour wise. What inks/paints did you use?
ReplyDeleteMost of what's there is acrylic paints - some old dylusions one's I'm trying use up where they haven't gone rock hard, a few dabbers and liquitex HB's. I've only used ink on the 3rd background and that was a color wash spray.
Deletewow- how did you do the backgrounds?
ReplyDeleteIt's all stencils, but the B&W and the spotty one were used with gel printing plates.
DeleteGorgeous journal! Can't wait to see what you both do with this one :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Carmen, can't wait to see the one start it's artistic journey back and forth - should be awesome with such a fabulous base!
ReplyDeleteLovely book, I'm sure it will hold together, if not, repairs on the fly could make it even more interesting :) Looking forward to seeing how it evolves....
