I’m again immediately, as promised, with a blogpost exhibiting my newest Chronicles artwork journal unfold. I’d thought you may prefer it once I clarify a bit of with every unfold… get pleasure from!
Week 15
A fast, pretty easy unfold with a ‘fats crayon gelli print’ background, a big illustration from {a magazine}, washi tape alongside the underside with some textual content in regards to the week and a pocket for the postcards. (There’s textual content beneath the playing cards that I relatively hold personal…) Sadly I noticed solely later that I bought the week quantity improper – I don’t make this sort of mistake typically nevertheless it occurs – I considered overlaying it with gesso however I’m afraid it should look worse so I simply put 15 over it.
Week 16
A busy week wherein loads occurred, so I added an additional flap to this unfold. The background is a gelliprint, the ’tiles’ on the left I created in a Zentangle workshop that week.
With the flap open you possibly can learn what I did in week 16 (when you possibly can learn Dutch that’s *lol*)
On the appropriate are some small pictures taken on the leporello workshop that Jenny de Bode and I taught in Hillegom.
Week 17
So this unfold had been ready for textual content for over every week. There have been the illustrations and the massive lettering with a giant hole within the center… I simply completed it up by jotting my ideas down as a result of in any other case it could have taken even longer earlier than it was completed…
Week 18
A background of white/grey/brown acrylic paint. The faces of the massive photograph had been painted over. A left over piece of washi tape (that t – 2 or 3 years in the past? – from one in all my workshop-participants) prime proper and backside left. The ‘week and month’ textual content drawn with a template. The textual content between the strains is stamped and handwritten.
Week 19
I used to be looking by means of my web site gallery and taking a look at my very first “Chronicles Years” – all the things was nonetheless new to me again then and the enjoyment of discovery and ‘play’ radiates from these first pages. I attempted to recreate that on these pages: simply enjoying and messing round and whereas it will not be a really balanced and fewer ‘effectively thought out’ unfold, I had a whole lot of enjoyable! I began with spray ink, gesso and white acrylic paint and glued all types of random photos as a border. I traced an image of Joost Klein (who was alleged to symbolize the Netherlands within the Eurovision Tune Contest however was disqualified from the finale) in broad strokes utilizing carbon paper to make it a ‘easy character’. I stuffed the house between the textual content and pictures with small circles/doodles.
Thanks for stopping by my weblog, I hope you get pleasure from this additional free day (Whit Monday) and this additional blogpost.
