Art Project 2012 - Sept 13-15

Creating some autumn leaves for a demo in-between my day job and appointments...

Sept 13: Crinkled old book pages and colored with distress inks... then let dry

Sept 14: Cut leaves using Sizzix Tattered Leaves die

and more leaves...

Sept 15: Applied beeswax to the die cut leaves - curling the edges slightly to replicate real leaves. They are really hard to photograph so you can see the detail. *sigh*

Day 118 Art Project 2012

Altered book spread in progress. I've made pockets by folding the middle pages down. These aren't attached, I'm debating sewing or stapling them. Colored with acrylic paints and distress inks. Stencil used is by Mary Beth Shaw. Work in progress.

Day 117 Art Project 2012

Altered book spread in progress. I've made pockets by folding the middle pages and using double sided tape to attach at the middle. Colored with distress inks and stenciled with punchinella. Work in progress.

Day 23 - Art Project 2012

I attended a wonderful workshop taught by Debi McManus-Plett... and this is what I brought home. I still have a bit of work, adding some spacers, doing a bit of coloring in a few spots, some "sewing" and adding a few embellishments. 


This is a shot from the first few hours of class, laying out the pattern and figuring out color and texture. Thank goodness we had a pattern template to follow, is all I'll say. :)
