Joint Project

Last year a friend and I decided we wanted to do a project together and having discussed it we settled on a book box. So I bouhgt four wooden book boxes from the Craft Barn and sent two to her and kept two.
The idea was that we could practice on one and then send the other on, so we each ended up with two.
I had a lovely surprise one day when the Postie brought me Pat's contibution. Here are some shots I took of it. In the draw are some beaytiful ATC's
I am highly delighted with it and now I have to get on and finish mine. I know what I want to do but I have to manufacture some time first!

Today has been another interesting one as I have been to my monthly mixed media workshop with Angie Hughes at the Bramble Patch. Here are some pictures of  some unfinished book pages.
I haven't yet decided where to go next with these.

It was fun using a limited colour palette just black and white at this stage. I used gesso, white paint, graphite and black ink.

As usual, clicking on the image will enlarge them.

Above are two of the pages.

We painted an A1 sized piece and then divided it.
