Remember this sneak peek<\/a> photo from my
\n“Alice in Wonderland” project?
\nWell, I finished my pages for the Circle Journal Swap!
\nThis week I will be shippin’ it over to Bree in Canada –\u00a0
\nshe collects all the pages from the participants,
\nbind all the pages together and will send each one of us
\na complete Alice Journal back…
\nI’m very curious what the rest of us did!
\nI\u00a0haven’t seen anything yet, so I’m the first one
\nwho is going to show pictures.<\/p>\n

(WARNING!<\/strong> If you are participating in this swap and
\ndon’t want to see photo’s yet, don’t\u00a0continue reading!)\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nWe decided on two
\n6″x6″ pages, this is
\nthe “front” of my
\npage. (Or, if you
\nlike, the back of
\nmy left page)
\nEach member will
\nput her name here,
\nso everybody who
\ngets the Journal
\nwill know who
\nmade the pages
\nthat follow.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And here are my “Mad hatter” pages….
\nI tried to create an absurd and hallucinating look,
\nto\u00a0give it\u00a0the same estrangement\u00a0effect as the story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used pages (copies) from the Alice in Wonderland book as background
\nand\u00a0I played with my spray ink.\u00a0The photo is\u00a0me\u00a0at\u00a019 but I put a “mad hatter”
\nhat on using photoshop (I do wish I had\u00a0such a hat\u00a0for real!)\u00a0I outlined
\nthe photo by\u00a0sewing around it. For the silhouettes I also used a photo
\nof myself. The teapot is a picture from a magazine – I digitally put the text on.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The stitches
\naround the
\nphoto gave
\na nice effect
\non the other
\nside of the page!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And – as always – some detail photo’s (I love detail pics, don’t you?!)\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nDetail:
\nSpray ink silhouettes.
\nThe colours I used
\n(Tim Holtz Adirondack
\nColor Wash) are Butterscotch,
\nTerra Cotta\u00a0&\u00a0Espresso.
\nI outlined the silhouettes
\nwith a black sharpie.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nDetail:
\nphoto with hat.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0
\nDetail:
\nThe\u00a0sentence
\n“Up above
\nthe world you fly,
\nlike a tea-tray
\nin the sky”<\/em>\u00a0
\ncomes from
\na verse the
\nmad hatter
\nrecites…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

And that’s it, ladies. Nothing else to show you today.
\nHaven’t been creative the last couple of days.\u00a0I did a major (and I mean HUGE!) round of cleaning Saturday – Holy cow, I spend all day rubbing and mobbing and vacuuming! I planned on scrapping the Sunday away BUT – we waxed the floor beneath the big table (some bald places there from shoving the chairs around – we have an oiled oak floor) and that looked kinda “wet” and was still very sticky on Sunday…. it definitely needed more time to absorb so no creative scrapping time at the big table for me…
\nBecause Marius was cleaning the office space (where the computers are)
\nI couldn’t go online either and on top of that\u00a0it rained all day, so I couldn’t sit outside in the garden *sigh*.
\nI ended up\u00a0spending my Sunday on the couch re-reading a book, eating a bag
\nof chips and feeling very sorry for myself…<\/p>\n

Monday and yesterday were filled with work (I mean the getting-actually-paid-for-it-kinda-work), today I finished my Alice pages\u00a0but tomorrow I\u00a0hope to find\u00a0some scrapping time. And don’t forget:\u00a0Friday my Lotus Paperie lay out will be online so more to come in two days! See you then, je t’embrasse!<\/p>\n
