I have been a bit obsessed with working in my sketchbook this week! The video course is brilliant with lots of information and ideas. My book now looks like this.
I did some more ripping and sticking and then moved on to the next stage. This was to add paint - acrylics, watercolour, whatever we had to hand. Scraping acrylics onto the page with an old credit card was fun and quick.
Painting with thick paint and thin.
The next phase is to use stencils to add focal points and pattern - just had to go with hexies for my stencils!
I have also been working on the pieces of sketchbook that were ripped out and they may go back in at some point.
Obviously photographing them on a black background was not a good idea! But they were in the envelope and on the way before I realised.
Well, I must away - it's a beautiful day here and there is, as always, lots to do. Have a good week everyone.
That last picture is so beautiful. No wonder you want to be outside. Love the idea of painting pages. The textures you were able to get are beautiful. Enjoy the nice weather. ;^)
ReplyDeleteWhat a chance to show your creativity! And have fun in the bargain, Lin. Meanwhile, I've enjoyed reading your posts. I agree about walnuts...so many uses for them and I think a lot of nuts are like that. So good for us too. Love to see your quilting projects too of course.
ReplyDeleteYour sketchbook looks like a really fun process. It is quite inspiring to get back to my own sketchbook. I will enjoy watching you fill the pages with details. Oh, so many (too many) “want to dos”!!! And not enough time for them all.
ReplyDeleteFun sketchbook! A break from the usual is always refreshing. Don't work too hard!
ReplyDeleteThis sketchbook looks really interesting, you can go where your imagination takes you.

ReplyDeleteYour sketchbook looks amazing Lin ... I love the way some of the pages look to be sewn in with a zig zag stitch. You make me keen to do some papercraft.
