Little books

Been playing with little books with beaded spines

Decorated Art Quest texture page

Texture page

As part of the Trish's Art Quest challenge I had to find a sketchbook and start the first page spread with some texture. I used hacked up bits of muslin, glued it down then used adirondack dye ink pads to colour it. Here is the plain page. I now have to make it into an altered book page. Will post when I've done that

Mini ATCs

My first attempt at mini ATCs - 1.5x2.5 inches. The theme of the swap was Autumn Colours so I stuck with the obvious. I am pleased with how these turned out - I found this size much easier to deal with than inchies. In real life these have very shiny gold leaves

Geodeco thingy

I used the tutorial for geodeco thingies from After Midnight to make one for a swap. Some people have sent in pictures of the ones they made for the swap into the gallery there. There are two other galleries with lovely examples too.

Doodle ATC for the swap

This is the final design for the doodle swap and I have just made 10 of them, phew.

Doodle ATCs

Had a little play with creating some doodle ATCs for a swap. Been busy over the summer hols so this blog is feeling a little neglected. Will have to get making things again soon.
