Fabric Paper

I have been watching and listening to one of my favorite crafters Pam from The Paper Outpost. I tried several different glue. First, I used pernament glue stick which worked okay for thin fabrics. Second, I used Modpodge only on the bottom for my thicker fabrics. The other methods I tried using with both are only one or two fabrics at a time compared to lots of pieces of fabric. I show this on my How to make Fabric Paper YouTube Video.

Fall Mini Journal

Yes! I am stating my fall Junk Journals. In order to have more than just one I start making fall journals right before hand I may throw in a few winter ones too. I know shopping wise people are mostly done with the flowery Spring/ Summer journal and are looking for fall/ winter journals. But I had this unfinished mini journal from a few months ago. So I  added a few more pages and bound it. I also added a little extra ephemera to the back page to spice it up a bit.

Beautiful Button Spine

Spring Blossoms Wall Hanging

Spring Blossoms wall hanging. I made this out of several pieces that could be recycled if someone just found something new. I used a old metal plate, old candle cap, and artificial flowers. Other things was glue, napkins, old book pages, scissors. It took me about 2 days to make. I also sprayed purple mica to make it glimmer a little. It's a little more than 12 inches in diameter.

Christmas in July

I made a Art Journal cover with Walking Snowman Digi from Crafty Ribbons for my design team project for Through The Craft Room Door. So I did this project partially with my kids we collaged the cover with washi tape. Then we water colored the inside portion with green and blue. I took black watercolor around the edge and let it drip to the inside. I took the digital and printed it out on a scrap piece of snowflake coffee dyed paper. I colored in certain parts with a pink metallic marker. I glued it to the cover as  a focus point. I used metallic marker around the different washi tape to add some depth or texture to it.

Paper Violin Ideas

I did my 3 in 30 challenge letter V. Most choose vellum but I currently am not able to buy vellum. So I choose to pick and print out violin pictures. I randomly picked out 3 pieces of unfinished ephemera. First, one is a piece of old button packaging with La Mode title on top. I added some coffee dyed paper to the back. I glued some coffee dyed fabric and two girls playing violin. Second, one is made of a piece of scrapbooking paper the size of a journaling card. I cut and glued a goblin playing violin. I also stapled a piece of coffee dyed fabric to the top left corner as a tab. Third and last,  piece was a bag with a mountain on it. I cut and glued a piece of violin advertisement to cover the mountain on the bag. I adhered a piece of eyelet trim to the bottom. I fussy cut and glue a piece of a woman playing violin and guy playing piano together. I hope you watch my video making them.

Looking In the Window

I altered another window. I don't think I like the top half but I loved it at first. Then I did more to the bottom half and now I love it. I was thinking about how looking through different windows you see different things happenings outside.

Galaxy Painting

Last summer I made this Galaxy Painting. I decoupaged paper and fabric onto the window. I sprayed it with purple and pick distress ink. I cut and water colored circles. I glued the circles on the left side. I then took Ivory paint and splashed it. I had the frame custom made by a relative. After I received it back I stained the frame with walnut stain and let the stain drip to make a distressed affect.

Going Through Town Window

I made this wall piece from an old window about a year ago but just stuck in storage shed. I made sure to put an old sheet. I took a hammer and took out the windows that were falling out anyways. I lifted up the frame and took the old sheet to the dumpster. I next painted the inside of the frame red and the outside of the frame blue. I used my fabri-fix to glue lace where the glass windows were at. Then I grabbed my box of buttons, beads, and old watches. I randomly glued them into the corners. when I took it out of stroage there was very few but about 3 pieces missing. I really should have stored it better. So to fix some of the spot I took 3 vintage postage stamps and put them in the blank spot. I call this Going Through Town Window because it reminds me of down town area where I live the postal office, some antique stores and clock tower.
