4" x 4" pages

I have a 4 x 4 obsession at the moment, and have been doing quite a few chunky books for swaps. These are for a private swap, and as my friend loves vintage, that's the main theme of these three. They are collaged, with bits of lace,bows and flowers added.

6" x 6" canvas board book covers.

These are two 6" x 6" canvases that I am going to use as book covers for a journal. The backgrounds are inked with distress inks and stamped. The slightly stronger images are stamped on to tissue paper then applied to the canvas. The key is made from friendly plastic.
I have two more to do, but Xmas cards call. The next two have a seaside theme.

Artsy weekend

I had a fabulous time on the Artsy weekend with Lin and Leandra. The subject was Time, and we each made a clock, a box, a little book, and a thingy to put on a box or book cover. Lots of different techniques and textures, with lovely colour schemes. The colours on the clock are a lot richer than the photo shows.

Chunky house tags

These are for a house tag swap, and measure 4" x 2 1/2". They were to have the shape of a house on, and some sort of 'chunk', ribbon, embellishments etc. All the images are stamped, with inked or collages backgrounds.

Altered matchbox and scrabble tile

This altered matchbox and scrabble tile was made for a swap on Altered domino and game pieces.
Again I chose a vintage theme, and included a handbag charm, some words, and a posy of flowers. Luckily it arrived in America in one piece.

Another beer mat book

I couldn't resist doing another one, this is on Vintage sewing, and for another friends birthday.

Beer mat book--- Vintage women

This is a beer mat book that I made for a friends birthday. I really enjoyed doing it, and Peter was pleased as he had to go to the pub and beg some beer mats from the landlord.
