Art-full Attache Update

At last I have started work on the Art-Full Attache class I told you about last month.   The class is full of excellent how-to videos.

I have done the front cover.

I have done the first part of each set of pages to make 3 signatures.  I used variegated thread and my new-to-me sewing machine although I don't think I've got the tension right.

I used some of the gelli prints I made as part of the pages.

There's lots more to do to these pages yet before I can start using the journal for the purpose I have in mind.

Thanks for stopping by.

Glimpses of Jesus 18

Glimpses of Jesus in the Old Testament is a year long bible study written by Simon Clay of Jubilee Church Solihull.   You can join in at any time.

Today's post is about David being drawn out of obscurity to be the King and that his inheritance will lead to the birth of Jesus.

This page in my journal already had the background painted so I stencilled a tree onto it.

I stuck the letters on for the words - insignificant and significant.  I wrote the names - Jesse, David and Jesus on the branches.

Do have a look back through the posts on the Glimpses of Jesus blog where you will find links to other people's art and poetry.

Thanks for stopping by.

Travel Journal

Thank you for reading my four posts about my holiday in Florida and Ohio.

In November 2014 I met Mary for the first time in real life in Charleston, South Carolina and she gave me one of the altered book journals she makes from recycling old books.  You can see them here on Found on Brighton.   It's smaller than the size I would normally use and so I hadn't used it.  Mary had used a copy of The Tale of Two Cities and it seemed the ideal choice to use as a travel journal for my trip to the two cities of Palm Bay and Toledo!

I used some of the pages and papers Mary supplied.  I also used some scrapbooking cardstock I had in my stash and some more we bought when we visited a great scrapbooking store in Sandusky.

I've made a flip-through video of the finished journal.   The journal got so thick that I put really large bookrings through it but they looked out of proportion with the book so I used twine instead.

Thanks for stopping by.
