Today I worked on a journal spread from a workshop available on Bloknote website. I used my Gellie plate to make block prints as instructed in the workshop although I used different colours. Below are the resulting prints. Next I printed the doll image provided by the instructor Marieke Blokland onto my Gellie print and outlined with a Sharpie marker. I painted an area where the doll is placed with antique white light acrylic paint, redrew the lines with the marker again. The next step was to paint the face, dress and hair with watercolours. The details on the doll are coloured with Crayola markers. I added washi tape on the edges and to scraps of the Gellie print and added tose to the pages. The left hand page is printed on the Gellie print and gold acrylic paint is painted over the text. I hand wrote free with Sharpie markers and added scraps of print with washi tape.

For this layout I used a distressed doll stamp on copy paper coloured with coffee, walnut and eucalyptus distressed sprays. I did some journaling with a medium Pitt pen no. 188. The right hand side uses a Quietfire Design QuoteMarks stamp from the Friendship set. The background is embossed and coloured with 2 colours of pigment ink.
I've used another Quietfire Design stamp for this layout. The left hand side has pink watercolour and gold Gelatos with "Find yourself a cup" and 2 teacups rubber stamped with Versafine ink. For the right hand side of the spread I used pink and gold Gelatos, a handwriting background stamp and a stack up teacups and teapot stamp embossed with clear bark embossing powder. There is also a piece of fabric tape.
On Friday I was appreciating the beautiful sound of silence, well at least enough silence for me to hear my music. It was a great relief after several men hammering and using a compressor to put a new new roof on the house. So my small Friday project was to do one page in a book I created awhile ago. The cover was a large sheet of paper painted with acrylic paints and black doodles with Enamel Accents and cut down to make covers on several small journals. You can see a part of the paper scan used on my blog header. This book has three signatures with the painted paper cover on each signature and is bound with a reverse piano hinge. I titled it "Pretty Little Lines" with the intention of rubber stamping quotes from Quietfire Design. The first page is painted with pink watercolours and the quote is stamped on pale pink cardstock. It is the diecut and layered over a black cardstock and glued to the top left of the page. I used a Tattered Lace Kaleidoscope diecut in silver and a small flower diecut on the lower right of the page.
I found some videos on YouTube for a project that some called a cupcake journal, and I liked the idea. All of the ones I saw were made from purchased lace doilies, but that just wouldn't do for me, so I started looking for crochet patterns. Unfortunately, since I haven't done much crochet for quite awhile my pattern library has lots of knit, but the crochet seems to be hiding from me. I purchased a lovely book in April "99 Little Doilies" by Patricia Kristoffersen and got started. The brown flower on the front cover is the only one that did not come from this book,it is part of a purse pattern from Piecework magazine by Interweave. The largest doily in my journal measures 6.5inches in diameter and it is all held together with a binder ring with ribbons and lace ties on. This is a journal I created in May after seeing one at the ATC swap that Rose made.The main structure is cut from 12X12 black cardstock and the background is scrapbook paper I used Teesha and Tracy Moore's collage images available from the Artstonaughts web group, rubber stamps and a vintage map image found online. The book measures 6in by 6in closed. |
