It’s midnight and I need to post my first day results. I have spent an hour or so working on the cover of my copy of “A Daily Creativity Journal”.
Started off by making some fabric paper with a muslin base. Glued on some scrapbook papers and then a piece of shimmery silver netting. Splashed on some diluted acrylic paint and let it dry. Full instructions at Textile Art, Fabric Art & …
Here’s the paper. It’s quite tough and leathery so is perfect for book covers. You can also sew, glue it or use it as the background for collage and painting. I love the texture of this stuff and make loads of it when I have a few minutes to spare. It’s really quick and easy.
Next, I cut the paper to size and just stuck it over the existing cover with strong double sided tape.
Stamped some scraps of handmade paper with the year, 2012 and glued them to the cover. I felt that the cover was lacking something so attacked it with some metallic oil pastels.
I may add some more embellishment in due course when the mood takes me. See you tomorrow!
