Passport to Art: unpacked

Thank you for following along with my altered book through the month of July.

There were still some pages left inside my book when I got to the end of the daily prompts.

This is the inside of the back cover.

I glued the last 2 pages together and put gesso on the pages in the first photograph above.  I inked the pages with Distress Inks.   This paper was left over from the shaving cream technique.

I cut a piece of it to fit behind the circular opening and stuck it down.

I stuck the page with the aperture down on top and then inked and stencilled the page.  I added two quotes that I hadn't used during the month.

Once these pages were finished I need to add the cover before finally gluing down the very back page.  You can see how I did the cover on Passport to Art.

Come back tomorrow to see the completed book.

Thanks for stopping by.

Little Details

Carolyn has a weekly meme on Thursdays called Messy Little Details.  Find out about it here.  Why don't you join in?

I took this photo in Florida last November.  I took several photos but the butterfly always faced this way presumably to keep the sun on its back.

And the winner is - well I couldn't choose between you - I loved all the comments.

So could all 5 of you, Bonnie, Jennie, Scrapcat, Beverley and Carolyn,  please email me and give me your name and postal address.

Thanks for leaving a comment.

August

Welcome to a new month.  On 12 Months in View this is the last month of the Summer Season.  There is an introduction to the month and a challenge to  make a suitable page.

I decided that instead of art journaling I would try a page that was nearer to scrapbooking.  In my stash was some lovely sunflower papers so I used that.

I added the title and some butterflies.

Have you worked out why I used this song title?

Thanks for stopping by.
