Hello again,
It is now late autumn early winter here in Adelaide and I am enjoying the cool weather and the differences that brings. I have been gardening and have a mini garlic farm growing in my garden; no vampires here! I come from a long line of excellent gardeners, however I missed out on that gene! I am better in my studio creating images and fiddling around with paint and paper.
Recently I have been creating digitally printed images incorporating my original work and combining it with ephemera. I am an absolute magpie when it comes to old paper and books and definitely inherited the hoarding gene! (You may have realised by now that I don't know much about genes!) My latest creation is a butterfly themed journal which I really enjoyed making. Here it is. There are about a million images but I needed to be able to show you what is it like and how it works.
 |
The cover incorporates some die cut butterflies and flower which I made.
Also some vintage paper. |
 |
Inside cover has a printed image and a little torn piece of music paper.
The right hand side has a tuck spot for a hangtag. |
 |
This spread was created by digitally combining a gel print I created
with some vintage butterflies. It is laser printed.
I made a little book which clips onto the age and a bookmark. |
 |
3 pages made from digital collages and a hang tag,
and on the right some space for you to write on and a piece of old music paper and a digital print of a butterfly. |
