NEW Acrylic Paint from 13@rts

Hello my dears! Today I'm here to share with you an art journal page I have created using the NEW 13@rts Acrylic paints designed by Olga Heldwein.

 "Life is Tough My Darling, But So Are You"


There is nothing better than jast slapping paint onto a page and seeing what comes of it!


 This page was exactly that. It actually covers up an older page I had created a few years ago. I find that I'm not fond of these "older" pages and so my technique is to cover them up with something I do like.


Currently, I like paint .... lots of it and lots of colour! So that is what I did. Topped off with some of my favourite marks.

A Little Handmade Book

Hello my lovely peeps. I'm here with you today to share a little art journal that I made incorporating my "Strength in Numbers" collection. I am really enjoying my book making at the moment. I'm not sure what I'll put in this little one yet but it was so much fun to make.



I used an old book cover as the cover of the journal.



Then I sewed three signatures into the spine.



Each signature is made up of different pages, sizes and embellishments.


I also sewed on some extra tabs to help turn the pages with.


The process is very easy once you get every thing lined up. As long as you have a sewing machine and some patterned paper along with an old book you can make one.


I'm still not sure what I'll put into my book. i have a heap of photos from my trip to Paris where I met Olga, Tehri and Marta. maybe i can use this little book to create a memorable album of my trip.


I just love the way the papers sit against each other in each signature.


It's almost a shame to cover them with photos.
