The first project is my weekly calendar page.
I layered up the papers, added washi, did some background stamping and finally finished with a wax seal and a hand written sentiment.
Below just a few close ups:
One of Tim's paper dolls whom I gave a pair of wings for a bit of whimsy.
The hand written quote, written with a dip pen. Much of my crafting time these days is spent doing my dip pen practice, I'm afraid to say, progress is very slow and I am not really ready to share much of it...
I always add a little colour and or stencilling to the facing page too, to tie them together.
I had lots of fun creating the second project which was for an art swap:
The swap was for 3 Artist Trading Coins, but I decided to add some extra bits, just for fun and created a little folder and decorated envelope, just because I love doing things like that.
Here first of all are the 3 coins:
And here a close up of the envelope: Obviously before I added the address
The little folder was adapted from a tutorial by Nik the Booksmith I found on Youtube, and I used the same printable paper as for the calendar page:
It has pockets inside, where I stuffed bits and bobs that I hope she will enjoy using in her own artwork.
Well, that's pretty much what I have been up to, have a good week ahead and until next Friday...
Thank you like always for taking the time to visit
