Water soluble pastels on gessoed page. Had fun. mixed emotions on the results.

I am working on my nature journal I wanted it to be made with paper w/o lines. I made the cover with a paper sack. the inside cover is fold and dye papers I made. I macramed a knot and then glued some jut to tie it shut. I like it. I love the paper I used and the size. Garrison and Evan made themselves books also.

A couple touch ups and a coat of gel medium and I am done with my round robin cover. This one has beenin my head for awhile. It is one of those messes that I like... I was trying out photo paper and twinkling h2os ..The orange paper is an experisment in tie dying paper. I didn;t have a big enough piece of paper so I collaged it around the bird... which did come out to be pretty round!

The boys are out flying kites. It is very windy and cold. I have been working on this book. I hope to put the notes for each page in the pull outs and tags. I wrapped paper bags in this book and used misc. things I am attracted to. This gloden brown manilla envelope paper bag stuff is great.




Peace maker altered book .
