Time for a change. The old wall was fabulous but getting a little claustrophobic and schizophrenic. Fresh start for winter.
Further proof that I am feeling more inspired came last night when I could not – NO MATTER HOW MANY SHEEP – fall asleep. So instead of tossing and turning and developing carpal tunnel from trying to type while laying down, I got up and started making a December Daily Album. The original idea is of course Ali's and I am very excited to start my own this season.
So far, I only have 18 days. Each patterned page will represent a day in December 1-25. I need to gather some more good papers but for now I am very excited. Simple construction: I cut chipboard pieces down to 5×7 and chose papers to cut to the same size. Slapped them together with a gluestick, punched two holes in each and bound with extra large book rings.
I plan on letterpressing a cover as well as the numbers 1-25 tomorrow at letterpress land. I am thinking of creating an art journal kit with similar pieces. Anyone interested in something like that?
Patterns from left to right and top to bottom: Anthropologie tissue paper, Paper Source (PS), unknown, vintage Christmas cookbook, PS holiday shopping bag, PS Lokta, PS flocked, PS Italian print, Snow and Graham, unknown, sisTV, Snow and Graham, vintage Christmas cookbook, unknown, PS, PS lokta, unknown (my favorite paper and I can never remember the brand…comes in a 12×12), PS Indian print.
enJOY it
