Dina Wakely AND A New Product plus a WINNER!

We are nearing the end of March and that means our fantastic partnership with Kunze Dresden will come to an end.   BUT the beauty of the products remains.  
THANKS to Kunze for allowing us to showcase the elegant Dresden Scrap that is manufactured in Germany with care and pride.

I have been dabbling with paints and markers, so I have a few items for you to see....

My Dina Wakely Class project, done with non-dominant hand.  Gesso, Acrylics and stiff brushes with black ink.

signed by Dina, my work mat!

For my book cover - Light weight canvas, gessoed then with very wet black acrylic paint, random shapes created by using my non-dominat hand to make the eye travel  from side to side.   Three rivets were inserted for the cords which will hold the signatures (a sheet of paper printed with several pages that upon folding will become a section or sections of a book) in place.   I will use both waxed cording and decorative fibers.  This was such fun!  

Creating book signatures by using more gessoed canvas and paint with similar motif.

We cut interoffice envelopes in half and folded to make book pages with pockets....

Paper lunch or sandwich bags were also painted (without gesso this time) and then glued together back to back making open pockets on each end.

A gaggle of tags were painted and some were cut down, some left large to insert into the signature pockets.   Writing on the tags and the pages with personalized notes makes for a fun touch too.  I will add collages to some of the pages as well.   

GREAT exercise in making yourself be free and allowing you to let go!  THANKS DINA!
