Day Twenty-Eight - Page Spread

It's the final day of Thing-A-Day. This month was just sooo busy, and I am gladly welcoming March.  If you hear a loud sigh, that would my exhale, letting go of a lot of stress that has built up this winter. I am so excited for spring, and the month to come AND for the madness of to be behind me. Good things are ahead. Very good things. I can feel it :D

I woke up this morning ready for March, and it wasn't until the day was well on it's way that I realized "oops, I still have one more day left for Thing-A-Day". With that in mind, today I present to you another page from my mini book. The left page is cut out of the fabric paper I made a few days ago.

It's been so mad these last few weeks that I honestly haven't even been able to keep up with everyone elses posts. I look forward to doing that this next week. I hope everyone had a very productive and inspired month! I had a great time contributing and completing my third Thing-A-Day. Thanks for following along. ciao!

Day Twenty-Two - CD and Fabric Paper

Today for Thing-A-Day I finished a mix CD I've been working on, tweaking and refining for a long time. I burned the first copy and listened to it to make sure there were no skips and the music all flowed properly from song to song. I am still brainstorming for ideas on the album artwork. I sat down at my drawing table to begin working on the artwork when I remembered a post I saw earlier today.

I saw this tutorial post on iHanna's blog about making fabric paper and it seemed like fun.

The first one I made I really liked, but then I wanted to "tint" it and added some acrylic paints and I wasn't thrilled with the outcome. That is more than a light tint, wouldn't you say? I wanted it to be light yellow with "barely there" touches of green and orange, and instead it became red and green. Go figure.

I had fun though, so I decided to do another one. This one (all the more "white" images) I left alone. I chose more neutral colored paper bits and I think I might come back over it later with a very watered down wash of white.

What will I end up doing with these? Who knows, but I thought I might scan them in and do some digital work over it for the album artwork.

Day Fifteen - Another Page

Today I did a couple more pages in my little book. The left page is covered in metallic blue star stickers and the right is watercolored, then sprinkled with salt for texture. On top of that was silvery glitter pen and pastels in swirls.

When I went to take the picture at first the camera didn't focus. I retook it, but when I saw the blurry one I actually liked it because it kind of went with the dreaminess of the image, so I put them together for a diptych.

Thing #12 : Collage "Retail Therapy"

Today I made a collage entitled “Retail Therapy”.  As it is A3 in size I had to scan it in two sections and join them in Photoshop.

Day Six - mixed media page

This last December my sister and I went to the One-of-a-Kind show in Chicago where I purchased the above book. It's a leather covered, mini handbound book with an assortment of encyclopedia pages mixed with quality drawing papers. I'm in love with the book from GreenTrikePress. I've decided to fill the pages with collage and mixed media work.

Here is the first page, that I did today.

Thing One: Collage Art Card

For my first thing-a-day for February 2010, I tweaked a collage art piece I had done a while back and ended up printing some cards from it. Available here: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=39808032
