Altered Book
This is the kind of day it is here.. gray, some snow. Kind of cozy. I was sitting at my drafting table and right outside the window is a tree that looks something like this. I painted the background pages a light gray, I added snow falling. I had a stencil with large stars which I used with white paint. There's a lot of silver on these pages...unfortunately it doesn't appear that way. There are 3 silver snowflakes that I glued on and one star that has some bling. And a beautiful piece of ribbon. There's also some silver on the pages edges. I outlined the white stars with silver "painted stitches". This photo just doesn't show the detail! I also have some white tissue paper with silver flecks across the bottom. And there are silver dots all over the pages.....Happy day after Christmas to all....
I spent the day re-organizing and cleaning my creative space. I can't find anything...where's my bone folder when I need it or my hole punch or that great quote that I know would be perfect for this page??!!! It's so frustrating. It's so hard to figure out the best and most efficient way to organize my art supplies so I can find what I want when I need it. Declutter, declutter, declutter. The thing is...in order to do mixed media/collage...it requires saving lots of ephemera...the flotsum and jetsam of art! Everyday is a new opportunity...
