It started out as a tidy 'all the journals that keep falling out of the cupboard' exercise. It's great to meet up with some moments in your life that you had completely forgotten. I can't pin the date down but this journal contained samples from a Margaret Beal course at Artvango of many moons ago. So Thursday was dedicated to the soldering iron and some organzas.
With the help of a potato masher as a stencil one of the samples I made ended up as a little design on a piece of velvet. Many lashings of products and stitch later it has ended up as a potential book cover. I'm making a leathery looking paper background and will bond the design to it. If it works it should look like an antique bound book.
The colours will be knocked back and the background will be the same tone so it will look like a single piece.
Nothing like the work I did at Margaret's class but certainly inspired by it.
