partner journal




These pages are from the partner journals that I am doing with Wendy from http://wendypslittlecorneroftheworld.blogspot.com/


The theme for these pages was where we lived, grew up, came from, etc.


The 'provenance' page is a vintage book page, printed photos, gesso, watersoluble crayons, rubber stamps and black inkpad, pencil, sharpie, and written with Faber Castell Pitt Artist pen.


The 'bakery' page started with scrapbooking paper, then I built up the background with gesso and watersoluble crayons. Then I added the brochure images of bread and buns and the printed photos. The 'bakery' letters are stickers. I then decorated with punchinella and flourish stencils using liquid pencil, white ink, black ink, brown ink and orange souffle pen. The writing was done with Faber Castell Pitt Artist pen.


To anyone interested in the layers beneath, below is a scan of the 'provenance' page before I added the elements and decorations.

quints



This is just the most inspiring photo I have seen in a long while!! Isn't it just exquisite?!

It is called "Quints" and it is by Lottie Davies. I just love these photos she has done with elaborate set ups and little stories that go with them. A lot of these creative shots seemed to be linked with dreams and childhood memories. The photo above has all the interest of a wonderfully complex old painting, and I stared at it for ages!!
