With my new job that I started a few months back, I now have to make time to do art and other creative pursuits. My friend Kathryn – Collage Diva – is participating in Art Every Day Month over at Leah Piken Kolidas blog Creative Everyday – I thought I would join her and make the effort to schedule some creative time each day.
The past few days I have put the collaged book on hold (first I didn’t have enough ribbon and then I forgot to buy the clamps) and started work on another book that I have been working on in the Supernova class.
I created some painted papers using a technique that I learnt in LK Ludwig’s Point & Shoot Journaling workshop. I then used those papers to cover the book covers. The text block is made and stitched together – now it all just needs to be put together.
Oh – the book covers you made are gorgeous. One of my hopes this month is to create at least one book… I am working on a poetry series about my daughter and thought it would make a fine gift, both for her and for my mother, too.
Also – the link to the Point and Shoot Journaling course is so welcomed!
I am glad to meet you and look forward to getting to know you through Art Every Day Month!
the covers are beautiful!
What beautiful, beautiful colors. They make me so happy!!
Beautiful! Thanks for reminding me of LK Ludwig. I love her work too. It’s valuable to see your work in progress. I have books in progress sitting there and know I’ll get to them eventually. It’s a process for me to appreciate that stage, of work not yet being finished.
What a lovely and cheery cover. I look forward to seeing more! This will be a great month. When you make creativity a priority, amazing things happen. I’m so happy you are taking up the challenge!
Wow, so cool! I love to make books and journals, even though I don’t really use them!
Fantastic, Megan!
thanks for your comment, loved it. just found you now and am crazy about your “pink” up there at the top. and looking inside your long tall skinny book is like looking inside of mine, quite quite similar, i thought….wait, how’d you get pics of MY book…funny huh. warmly, wanda
I must have missed this post some time ago : ) Lovely book covers. I’m getting to the end of another journal and wondering what to do do next.
