As today happens to be 29 February, a once-every-four-years kinda day,
which makes this a longer year than normal, would it be possible to get more done today? No, probably not. But I'll try anyway.
Here are the fruits of my meagre creative labours ...
The open book is being "altered", pages have been removed,
(trust me, they weren't worth reading),
and some pages have been glued together,
to make a more substantial background for painting, etc.
Some of the torn out pages have been given a new lease of life already,
(right hand side, next to UK Craft Stamper). And I think those oil pastels might get a work out somewhere in the book too. See that large stamp (next to oil pastels, borrowed from Sandra ... the stamp, not the pastels), well, you know where I am going to use that now, don't you? The colourful tag (on top of the stamp) is also from Sandra. Isn't that amazing, what you can do with those oil pastels?
Why all this show and tell?
You knew that, didn't you?
Your desk is full of interesting stuff. Love the tag!

Busy little space this week. Loved seeing all of the bits on your desk. dani43
ReplyDeleteYou have been busy .... love what you are doing with the torn out pages. I have finally finished tearing and glueing pages and now the spares are in a bag. (so unimaginative!!) Might even move on to the niche but, I should probably wait for instructions. I am intrigued by the collage book in the background might have to have a peek one day. I do hope you enjoy fiddling with the oil pastels. speak soon.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten up the courage to start tearing pages out of mine yet... it still seems like a crime but i am determined to get past it and give it go!! Loads of great stuff on your desk...
ReplyDeleteLots to look at, love your desk. good luck with the altered book. helen, 32

ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to work on altering a book but have never quite plucked up the courage or quite known where to start! Guess I am just going to have to pop back here lots and watch what you do! Happy WOYWWing. Debbie #89
ReplyDeleteyou have reminded me to start on my book,great desk,happy crafting,x
ReplyDeleteHow great that you are giving this book a makeover! It deserves a second life and I suspect will be more loved this time 'round. Fun bright tag. I've never played with oil pastels. It sounds like something more up my mom's alley.
ReplyDeleteI hope you post pics of your altered book when it's all finished. I've been thinking about making one, but haven't had the heart to rip into a book yet...even a horrible one!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked the Washi tapes! I belong to a Facebook group (that actually has lots of people from Australia in it!) that's all about Smashbooks, and Washi tape is ALL the rage to use in your Smashbooks right now!
Haha! I just saw the clock on the side of your blog that says the time in the Emerald City...I live in the US in Seattle and it's nickname is the Emerald City! I thought you were local for a minute until I realized the clock was so far off of our local time!!
Thanks for popping by to peek at my mess!
