Bookmaking with Collages

The versatility of collages used for art and crafts is extensive.

I created a book and will use collages

for the interior pages...the construction was heavy chipboard and kraft paper, plus decor papers.

We also have corrugated Kraft Paper, also in white corrugated adhesive backed for beautiful book covers or interiors.

For closures, I used our fabulous seam binding

attached with Super Adhesive Tape.

For a fun touch - since this is a book for old time photos I used clock charms to hold the seam binding on the front.

The tied seam binding neatly holds the waterfall pages in place.

I will use alternating old sepia and black and white photos with interesting collages for the finished Book.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
