I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are looking forward to the second installment of the Quinn Book that I filled in my vacation. (You can read why it's called that in my previous post.)
While I was working in this book I discovered that I really enjoyed using stencils and materials in a different way than the obvious one. I love using premade art supplies (there is so much gorgeous stuff out there), but I don't like a premade look, so it became my challenge to get a bit of an abstract layout with ready made supplies. It was a lot of fun to play that way and definitely something I want to explore further. You know...with the thousand other things I want to explore further some time someday somehow. ;-)
So here's some more spreads!
 |
| This is my absolute favorite spread in the entire book! |
 |
| I never thought of using rub ons and a circle template this way before. |
 |
| I don't know if you can tell, but the clothes on these paper dolls are cut out from paper. These were done from stencils too. |
 |
| Gouache (Talens) and brush pen (Pitt), hello my darling circles and ribbons! |
 |
| The rose stickers were actually intended to stick on your bike! |
 |
| I don't know if you can read it, but it says "The child is always hungry". Ain't that the truth! ;-) |
 |
| I had a lot of trouble getting this one right, but it worked out in the end. |
 |
| The card on the left was made by my friend Chanou. A little origami christmas tree! |
And that concludes the artsy part of the journal. As I said last time I also added a bunch of photographs, but those were hard to take a snapshot of, since the glare was too prominent. I filled the book about two thirds with images and art. The rest of the book has been reserved for my writing. How I did that I will show you coming Wednesday!
Until then I wish all of you a wonderful and artsy week!
