Tea Stands for Tuesday 2/1/22

 Good Morning friends.  I'm going to start with a bit of SILLY this Tuesday morning. 

I think that takes care of my drink for this tea party post.

Meanwhile, back at the art table.  I've been making some gelli prints.  I'm going for an old look.  Like an old clay pot or something.  What do you think?

I'm also getting ready to work on some Valentine postcards.  See the book of blank postcards waiting for me?

Be sure to visit everyone at the Tea Party.  You will find it happening on the Altered Book Lover blog.

Happy Saturday.

 

How are you spending your Saturday?  We aren't having snow but it is cold for Northern California.  I think I'll knit a bit.  

Tea Stands for Tuesday - 1/4/22

Good Morning friends.  Lets have a cup filled with roses on this first Tuesday of the  new year.  Maybe later I will have Earl Grey in a cup while I visit Elizabeth and the others  who gather for a weekly tea party.

I have been working on an art book.  I had a nice video saved but can't seem to link it here.  I'm challenged when it comes to technology.  I've fiddled with it but no luck and I'm about to run out of "Tuesday".  So here is a peek at what I created.  It is the best I can do.

Here is the book laid out.  It is based on a long strip of brown paper.  The art is all mine, mostly gelli prints printed on rgular computer paper.  The center pages are sewn in and fairly plain so they could be added to or used for journaling.

I included a number of pockets so things could be tucked in.  I could write a note on the piece of paper tucked into this pocket for instance.

This is the first inside page.  Again there is a pocket.  See the blue folded paper coming out of a somewhat hidden area?

This was my first experiment with this kind of book.  It was fun and I'm sure I will be making another..
