Creating a book a month : June and July
I have an Intention to create a book a month this year : small and gorgeous, mixed media and stitched. I had originally thought that I would celebrate my birthday month (June) with another daily journal, but circumstances change and I have decided I will use that format for my 2020 December Daily. In my first post for June I was questioning whether I even had the energy to create a book. Later that week, a lovely blogging friend gifted me with this class by Joanne Sharpe! So very thoughtful and solved my creating a book a month challenge for June....and July! I haven't done much with watercolours so enjoyed the loose paint play Joanne teaches We then moved on to cutting the papers to create the pages for little books. I decided to put all my large papers together to create one book with quotes about Shine - a favourite word of mine. I'm not sure if the cover is done yet This book measures 4" x 6", while the little ones are only 2.75" x 4" I've not bound these books yet, but here's a couple of sneak peeks at pages in progress in my Shine book. I'm hoping I'll be able to somehow include stitch as well... I'll share my progress on these little books at the end of the month. See my other posts about creating a book a month HERE Joanne's developed a series of these classes. She calls them the big, project focused, online classes with the teeny price. She has just released Art Sparks 2 : Colour, Collage, Concertina. Also US$14.95 and starts 20th July.
