What have I been doing for ten days? Well you will be pleased to know that I have finally come out of the wilderness and I owe it all to this fabulous workshop that I have been doing with
Roben-Marie Smith The class is called Collage Construct and Affirm.
I have been tearing up paper and gluing it down plus painting and using oil pastels and inks and a heap of other stuff and I have ended up with this fabulous portfolio.
The first pic shows it laying down because I was trying to take an arty farty photo.
In the second one you can see it front on--it is supposed to have the flap on the right hand side so you will have to turn your head to the left to see it properly (o-oh was that your neck I heard crack)
Here it is opened out and you can see on the left
side I have added a pocket that has a velcro tab on the centre right hand side plus the album pages on the right side with the pointy flap bit folded back so you can see it.
This time the flap is folded out so you can see how the complete thing looks.
When you close it the left side with the pocket folds in and then the flap fold over and fits into the strip on the front to form the closure.
The next two photos are out of order but you will get the picture as to what is going on.
You can see the inside which has been painted and then I made the pocket and stitched it on.
These are the pages which I painted --I think Ebony could have done a better job of it than I did.
Well that's it I have created something--at last.
And I have also been doing a bit of felting and stitching and baking as well which is a big surprise because I don't normally do cakes etc---a bit scary me-thinks.
Now all I have to do is try and figure out how Blogger ever expects me to understand what he is up to.
I may take up sending smoke signals instead so keep looking skywards my friends you might just see something.
