...and small projects are so my friends right now, as I juggle waaaay too many things. I did manage to finish some tasks this week, though, and that's a happy set of occurances.
The small ( 7 1/2" x 5 1/2") collage above is complete, I believe, and the one below is well on its way.
I finally finished the 20" x 16" canvas, titled Snakes & Ladders, and the texture in so many areas makes me delirious to the point where my mouth waters.
You'll perhaps have seen this
book before. I've been mulling it over for ages, knowing it needed further work on the interior which finally happened this week. I added a soft turquoise star-spangled sheet and a star-related quote to each of the seven leaves, and it now has the feeling of a finished work.
Another of my hand-crafted books has been on the shelf awaiting inspiration, and that was the word that kick-started the interior contents.
I've started the process of adding colour and pattern to each of the 80 pages inside. (What was I thinking to add ten signatures of 8 sheets each???!!!)
And I've only got eight more signatures (64 designs) to go for this stage.
When I get all the colour and pattern in there, I'll add a word to each page, to complete the three things that really inspire me in my creative life.
No doubt you're waiting with bated breath for the completion of this project. 🤣 But me?? - I'm waiting to hear what you've been up to this week, so I'll head over to your blogs to catch up with you, because you're the fourth inspiration! Happy week to you...
Gosh you've been busy this week. Loving it all and I know the new book is going to be brilliant and a great way to use up those gorgeous its of card you just can't let go. Still love the star books too, it's ages since I made one of those. Happy creating, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThe week was great fun with all those projects (and more) on the go. I'm just loving all the colour play, all the time. :D
DeleteOoh, that table laid out with yellow/orange papers has my little organising heart aflutter. The 'inspiration' book is lovely with its deckle-edged papers, and 'Snakes and Ladders' is just yummy. It has so much movement in it. Have a great week and keep carving out those ten minute slots of creativity - they keep us sane :)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Tracy, and I certainly will find a way to 'carve out' that time. Sanity time, indeed!
DeleteYour handmade books are made to perfection and filled with lusciously coloured pages. I love them!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks. They are both a labour of learning, and love!
DeleteHi Win, I love the little details you've added to your flowers. And your wonderfully textured Snakes and Ladders. The books intrigue me because they are someplace I haven't gone creatively. But I think they are fun and beautiful. I have a suggestion for a page in your word book. Create a design that includes a picture of you and the word "Amazing".
ReplyDeleteBecause you are in every way. Best wishes and grand ideas to you my friend. Hugs, Deann
Well, aren't you just the kindest woman - and I do love your idea of a photo addition to the word book. You're just brilliant, I'd say! xo 💗❤️💖 And I'd love to see you delve in the world of hand-crafted books; I just know they'd be outstanding to the max!!
