For the prompt Doctor from @calluna I decided to craft using Dr Pepper cans.
I learned a lot, including not to watch TV while crafting with sharp aluminum. No bleeding, so no worries.
Also, don’t sit your project where you tend to plop down. Part of it got a little squished.
I bound off my ”string” craft yesterday. Ends need to be woven in and then a photo shoot. It turned out a bit weird for many reasons, but will hopefully be functional.
I picked up calluna’s the '90s challenge. For my art journal page in the Paper Zoom, I used a sentiment from the iconic (IMO) Gin Blossoms song “Hey Jealousy”:
Simultaneously, I was making pages for Edel’s challenge of transformation, birds, feathers, that kind of thing. I didn’t get too far while we were on Zoom but I finished this morning!
Great page, @calluna! Did you use up some of those photos you had plenty of on this? And, I really like your lettering! I need to work on my hand lettering skills…
Thanks! Full disclosure, the letters are stenciled, with the stencil gaps filled in. The stencil was at Dollar Tree! If I use it enough, I tell myself, I’ll develop muscle memory and learn to do the lettering that way!
Yes, a tiny bit of progress on the photo stash: there are 8 full photos in this layout, not including the images within the landslide. I was almost always trying to fit everything to ATC dimensions, so this larger format really is helping the photos look less dominant, when they do show through.
What a good idea! I don’t know why I never thought of using stencils for my lettering. Next time I’m brave enough to venture into Dollar Tree, I’ll have to see what they have for alphabet stencils.
And, I’m glad you’re able to work through the photo stash! How large is that page?
It’s about 9x12". It started with two book pages as the base, but then things kept getting tacked on to the edges and it grew.
Dollar Tree also had rub-on letters, so I treated myself to a couple packs in fonts I liked. My only craft supply purchase since early March! But even though I still have plenty of stuff to work with, the itch for fancy little extras is setting in.
I didn’t forget, but I did get sidetracked with many things. Very overdue, this is something I made for @craftADDchick’s paper bag prompt. Here is the bag -
