I’m getting ready for the top 2000… but before we take off this Saturday
I thought I’d show you some things I made.
(As you know, next week will have an everyday post that is filled with
top 2000 music-related layouts, no regular blogging.
I already received some marvelous artwork in my mailbox from all over
the world – I was flabbergasted! Be sure to check in every day during the
top 2000 week!)
Oh, and to make the top 2000 blog party more fun, I throw in a prize!
Yep, you heard me. I show you at the end of this post…
..
..
But first: my weekly art journal page.
Week 50
I found the image in an old ‘National Geographic’ and since I was sick, I thought it was a protection suit – you know, as the doctors wore in the movie ‘Outbreak’? It wasn’t that though – it’s a suit to protect you against lava and heat at volcanoes. Oh well, I thought it looked nice on my pink page!
..
More pink!
Yep, I was in a pink mood!
I made a journal to use for my weekly pages next year.
I saw Michelle calling her personal journals “chronicles” and I like that
title a lot more then “weekly art journal” so I named my journal this way.
I bound it with the same technique as I used for my top 2000 album.
..
Here’s a view from the side.
The tape/ribbon actually is dark brown strips of leather.
It shows black on the photo though…
..
Here’s more detail, so you can see the binding.
Can you tell I’m already in love with my new journal? 😉
..
Another binding technique I learned in the workshop: using cords.
I made a small album from left over paper.
It’s a fun little book, but I don’t like this binding as much as the former.
..
Again, a detail of the binding.
(I see now, that I should have put paint on the sides of the grey board cover… )
..
Those are my books…
… but this next one can be yours!!!
..
I give away this fun shaped book to one of the participants who play along
in the top 2000 blog party! It doesn’t matter how many layouts/art work
you e-mailed me -you’re in as soon as you play along.
On New Years day, the names of the participants go in the hat and I will pick
the winner. (And yep, internationals play along!)
I left the cover of this book blank (no title) so you can make it your own
by adding a title or image, but if you want me to finish the cover with
your name or a title, I’ll be happy to do that!
..
And these were my last “non musical” things to show…
be back Saturday at noon as we will take of with a big bang and start the
musical top 2000 blog party!!! See you then!
Je t’embrasse!
