Art Journaling: Journal52 - Week 11




Art Journal - Journal52 - Week 11

Gentle



This art journal was an old, barely used 2015 planner, and before I started working in it, I glued about half of the pages together to make then thicker and more sturdy.  With gluing, came selectivity for what I wanted to still be showing. For most of the pages that were left visible they were very similar looking: either a month layout or a week layout. However, for this particular page, I wanted to do something special and unique. This started as the month layout for March 2015, which has a special place in hubby and mine relationship when we were still dating. I barely used this planner, something that is uncommon for me, but the fact that this month had noted, relationship landmarks makes it special to me.









To prep this spread, I did nothing , no gesso, nothing. It was weird, and new to do nothing, but I went with it. I added watercolor paint in blue, green, and purple directly to the page.  I did add a few splatters of purple, as I just can't help myself when it comes to splatters. 






I then went in with four markers for a quote from Tolkien's work.  For the left side I used a Prisma Color marker in Lime Green PB-36, and out lined it with a Tombow ABT marker in #158. For the right side, I did the same but with a Prisma Color marker in Warm Grey 40% PB-102, and out lined it with a Tombow ABT marker in #192.






I then added stamping with two stamps from Tim Holtz Stamper Anonymous Euro Elements stamp set. For the fleur de lis stamp I used Distress Ink in Dusty Concord and for the mail mark stamp I used Memento Luxe ink in tuxedo black.






To finish this page, I ran a few of the green markers around the edges of the pages and then used my date stamp with the same black ink from earlier. 






Happy creating, and happy art journaling!

Book Making: Magazine Junk Journal

Image
Book Making: Making a Junk Journal It may be no surprise that I love art journals and junk journals. So I decided to make my own junk journal from scratch, well, from scrap magazine pages. For the main body of the journal, I'm using magazine pages that are glued two together. I then folded the new pages in half and put them into signatures of 4 each. I punched holes into the signatures about an inch apart.  After waxing the embroidery floss, I stitched the signatures together.  For the cover, I was going to use the cover an architecture magazine as it's thicker, but I ended up using two sheets of cut down 12 by 12 inch paper.  I liked the idea of using white paper so that I can properly have my way with the covers.  I can't wait to add gesso and paint and anything else my heart desires to these new pages. Happy creating, and happy paper crafting! For business inquires, contact me at: Kri

Christmas Mini Quilts - Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters

Christmas Mini Quilts Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters I've had a stack of five Christmas fat quarters for longer than I'd like to admit. Too many ideas filtered through my head until I finally decided on trying to get the most out of the fabric.  Since the pattern isn't specific to the holidays, this can be applied to any set of fabric. I cut all five fat quarters into four inch strips, and then into 4 inch squares, keeping all scraps to the side.  From this I separated them out first into the larger table runner using 36 squares, and arranging them into a rectangle of 4 by 9.  I decided to go with an angled pattern for the layout, but you could also place them randomly.  The finished size is 13 inches by 29 inches. This one fits well on the coffee table and the dining room table. I then layed out four rectangular place mats using 12 squares each.  I used a similar pattern layout as the table runner.  In fact, I keep this part the s

2016: A Quilting and Sewing Year in Review

Image
Amidst a wedding, two moves, a promotion, a graduation, the adoption and lost of a kitten, and family visits, I have been lucky enough to have finished some smaller and larger quilting projects.  This is the most active I have been with sewing since early 2014 when I had some time on my hands after graduating college. Some of these pieces are Christmas gifts, and some of them just gifts. Some are finished tops, and some are completely finished, quilted pieces. Regardless, I am chocked at how much I have accomplished this year with my trusty sewing machine. Red, White, and Blue Star Quilt To find out more about this beauty check out these two previous posts: Red, White, and Blue - 4 Years in the Making. Red, White, and Blue - A Closer Look. Simplified U. S. Flag Pillow I have a lot of red, white, and blue fabrics in my stash. I also had a faux fur cover rectangle pillow that didn't match our décor. Adding the two together, and a short about of math and sew
