Bookmaking

I mentioned last week that I was going away with the arty girls for the weekend. We had a bookmaking and slipcase workshop. I made the backing papers previously. I used a silicone mat like you would with a gelli printing plate. I made a lot of errors and used a lot of my new papers [I'll go over them again rather than throw them away], I found that I had to use more paint on the silicone mat compared to the gelli plate and the results are more smudged but my finished pieces grew on me. There were four, all slightly different in colour but I used the same technique which were circles cut from paper. The back spine was stitched.

I will be honest, I took the photos for the art rather than the windows


My catch up is usually on a Friday but I will be away with my arty friends for a creative weekend. I will have to update the Friday links when I get back.

Have fun, I will!

Lots of chipmunks on the island, this one found a good place to sit at Costa Calma.
They are actually Barbary ground squirrels and are an invasive species, they damage the native flora and fauna.

Another cactus in Costa Calma.

Costa Calma - I'm pleased to say that most of the rain was out at sea

Wishing you a great weekend. It's a Bank holiday weekend here in the UK so some people will not be working, pity the weather is turning cool again after some fabulously warm days.
