Hi everyone. Happy Thursday.
Today I have part of a project I have been working on. It's a tiny little journal that I am filling with summer pages. The cover is made from some scrap cardboard that I painted. I will add a title and maybe a bit of decoration to it once I get done with the book.
The inside is made from some index cards. I even had to cut the index cards down just a little bit so they'd fit in the cover boards. This book measures just a tad bit over 2x3 inches/ 5 x 7.6 cm.
Here's a few pages. Some of them are made by using up scraps from my work table, and some of them have been made using other items in my stash.
When I photographed this next page the lighting reflected off the acetate seaweed on the left. The quote says "sea you soon", but it is underneath the acetate. I couldn't seem to find the right light to not get that reflection.
This last page I am sharing with Halle's "I've Got Notion" challenge at Art Journal Journey .It might not be sewing themed, but I've used my notions in a different way. It also might be really tiny, but I have added some cloth ric-rac trim as well as a stitched tag. The watermelon is an ancient foam stamp that I painted and then stamped on my page multiple times.
This book isn't finished yet, so I'll have more to share some other day. That's all for me. I hope you are having a nice day!
So many fun pages! I love esp. the one with flipflops :-))
ReplyDelete...gulls just want to have fun and EAT!
ReplyDeleteAgree on the flip-flops.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable book. You hit all the high points of Summer. Looks like the heat and humidity is breaking today.
ReplyDeleteI've been having a bit of an underwater vibe recently so your first pages are my favourites but I do like them all. To think it is only 2 x 3 inches makes one really appreciate the thought that has gone into each page. I love all things miniature so this is a top favourite for me.
ReplyDeleteLove how you did the last page for today so that it works for AJJ's challenge.
Brilliant post!

ReplyDeleteI love your little book, so pretty! Sometimes the lighting is very difficult to cope with. Love all of the different themes, with flipflops, water-melons etc, great ideas! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteExcellent job!! You have made a perfect book! I really like it, especially the flip flops page, it's summer!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to use index cards. You have some terrific and adorable pages. I am totally impressed. These all scream summer. "Gulls just want to have fun." Great play on words. The final spread is absolutely perfect for Halle's theme at AJJ, too. Love that rick rack.
ReplyDeleteSuper fun tiny journal!! Love all the pages you've created so far.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't feel a bit nostalgic when looking at rick-rack! <3
Great idea. Your pages do look good.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
That's a fun little book and very summer-y. Good use of index cards! I hope you have some summer vibes for the rest of the week. Hugs - Carola
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. Fun book!
ReplyDeleteWho does not love a little book? I adore making books and seeing books others have made and this is fabulous. I love the size of it to start with but the pages are so colourful and full of wonderful images. I especially fell in love with the first three pages.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx
This is so cute and clever, Erika! I've made books before and they aren't always easy -- and then to have all the illusrations! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable and fun is this book!! I love this idea and the fact that it's a smaller version that you can open up and enjoy along with the experimenting with different medium too! LOVE IT!
