Friday finds: It's late and I'm tired after trip to Saskatoon to see Naomi, and general busyness. I tried to get some photos before dark, of works in progress (WIPs) but will share the details tomorrow. It ties in with some of the Friday finds. Think "books".
I had borrowed the "Fabric Art Journals" from the library. There was far too much pertinent information for me to let slip through my fingers so I decided to purchase. I'm very happy.
For the finds you will see lots of brads. Lately, they intrigue me. YES! I can hardly wait to get to - (well, I'll tell you tomorrow).
"angels be with you": This is a journal page I did with items from the challenge as presented by Kira for "journal junk week 2". I've discovered another reason why I love mixed media. Glue and I DO NOT get along. This time I thought I'd try using a glue stick instead of a medium. I still managed to get glue in places it should not be. You'd think I would have learned by now that I should not try to clean it off. Yipes! Printer ink does not want to stay put. The more I try to clean it the worse it gets. Mixed media to the rescue. Just use more layers, more "mix", more glue. Voila - a creation to be proud of. This image is best viewed in large size - clickable.
