Instagram post 2225081767692560767_710475319 I’m putting a lot of my old art into this altered book. Most pieces that I’m like “what am I going to do with this?” Like this drawing of a little girl and her red balloons (that I actually made on an old book page... kind of meta!?) Anyway... I also like the little pop-up window on the library card. Swipe to see what it reveals from the book’s old library days!
Instagram post 2214899148128366730_710475319 More altered book/collage fun! What creative projects are you up to today?
Instagram post 2174314409403474515_710475319 I had so much fun working on this altered book spread yesterday! I want to make more... maybe with words?
Instagram post 2164898238665159965_710475319 Sometimes creating an altered book page is as easy as: find true statement, cut it out, glue it down. I want to believe she’d like this statement. 😂💪
Instagram post 2149779742843270404_710475319 I learned a lot — mostly about myself — this first week of @creativebug and @lindsayvictorialee #cbdailychallenge #conceptsketchbook ... mostly that when I take my time, I enjoy the process and the outcome more. I mean, duh, right? But I usually like to make work quickly. Going back to this spread, day after day, looking for ways to create more interest and contrast... I really enjoyed it. Maybe it’s the Fall, maybe it’s the class, or maybe it’s something else. But I’m really embracing this slower pace, with attention to detail. (Swipe to see my favorite bits!)
Instagram post 2146130102570744352_710475319 Is anyone else doing the @creativebug #cbdailypractice with @lindsayvictorialee this month?! I’m excited about this one!
Instagram post 2132142689750237161_710475319 I’m having fun with these color meditations with @lisasolomon & @creativebug for this month’s daily practice. I’m a bit behind, but you can see more in my stories today!
Instagram post 2130885508799136674_710475319 I thought I had everything I needed to get started with my new punch needle, but I didn’t have monk’s cloth and I couldn’t find any of my good hoops (that’s what happens when you “reorganize” and move all your arts and crafts “stuff” I guess?! 🤣) I’ve chosen my color palette, and now it’s (finally!) time to punch! 👊 I’m starting with embroidery thread because I don’t have yarn (I don’t know how to knit or crochet), but I decided if I love it like I think I will, I’ll buy some pretty yarns, too!
Instagram post 2128616371704167901_710475319 Thanks to @creativebug and @bookhou I’m about to try a new craft! Actually, I tried rug hooking years ago and quickly (and sadly) realized I’m allergic to wool. But luckily, thanks to @bookhou I found out you can also use embroidery thread (I have TONS) and/or cotton yarn (duh, I should have thought of that...but yayyy!!) So I’m excited to give this another try! I’m starting out small, with a coaster. Results coming soon!
