I love going back to basics and have made a small concertina fold book with a cover to remind me of some inspirational quotes. I have used embellishments dyed in a "tea-bath" both on the cover and inside. Do join me on my blog for all the details and a tutorial for the mini book covers and inside pages.
Combining 3 of our generous sponsors in one mini was a blast! This mini began with Eileen Hull's Travel Journal and decorated with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and Seth Apter's Baked Textures. Hop over to my blog for all the details.
This month and I made a journal, using a new Wrapped Journal die by one of our Sponsors, Eileen Hull, along with some of my favourite paints and stamps. You can see more on my blog here.
Today I would like to share with you my new tiny mixed media book, totally handmade. It is just 4 cm big. This is my first project for Mini Album Makers challenge blog, so I also prepared a very detailed photo tutorial on bookbinding for tiny books. Bookbinding knowledge is essential for book artists, so I wanted to begin my DT work with this topic :) Hopefully, you will find it useful.
I have fallen in love with sending and receiving snail mail, so I decided to make a correspondence folder. If you want to see how I made it and what's inside, please visit my blog.
This month I made a soft book. I used Lindy's MAGICAL POWDERS. I created a video tutorial for you on my blog.
I've got an altered art journal cover for you this month - a summertime combination of some of my favourite things to brighten up what was a very dull greyboard book. Do come over to Words and Pictures to see the details.
I'm walking on the wild side this month, thinking of summer days, cool drinks and all things relaxation! Come see how I made this super simple fabric wrapped spine album, embellished with Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts flourishes, over at SewPaperPaint.
