I've been trying to keep up and work my way through The Artistic Mother book. Remember my background papers here? That was the first assignment. Okay, I think the first was really to make a decorated list for the babysitter but since I never go out, that wasn't necessary. lol
I used several of the painted/stamped background papers I made as well as other papers, vintage fabric, lace, a feather, an old shipping tag from a Japanese missionary, a saying by Mark Twain and a picture of me when I was about 3.
Now all I have to do is fill it with favorite poetry!
After making the journal I had all these little cut pieces of handpainted papers leftover. I thought they might make perfect backgrounds for some ATCs.
I used images from Altered Pages, rubons and various pieces of fabric and lace. I also added little buttons, pearls, etc... to finish them off.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Don't forget to enter my book giveaway!
This journal page is so beautiful. I love your papers...the colors and shapes. What a great way to use up the extra paper for teh ATC's which again are wondcerful!
ReplyDeleteThese are all stunning!! I LOVE your journal, the picture of you (too cute!), the quote, the tag and the addition of the feather! All so very beautiful - your ATC's are bold and colorful too. Really beautiful work, Kristin xo
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, these are adorable... I like my poetry journal I made for The Artistic Mother, but it is very dense with words (probably because I am a poet first, visual artist second.) I love seeing the ATC's here, too. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteLovely as usual. Love the feathers-nice texture. Great poem. I love that you put a photo of you on your journal. Such cheerful ATC's. Look at all that sewing you are doing!
ReplyDeleteWow! Everything looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI love all this! ALL of it!
ReplyDeleteI love your color choices, the pink with the yellow ocher and sea blue is so unusual and creative. and oh my, your ATC's are stunning. I love your style.
