I'm participating in the Art Everyday Month and last night I just didn't want to sit at my art table so I thought I'd doodle. I have friends who are great doodlers. It's not my strong point but I decided I wanted to play with my Sharpies so what better to do than doodle, right? Doodling reminds me that it's about the creative process and that I won't always end up with a finished piece that I'll want to hang on the wall. Sometimes playing is the whole point. That was my attitude last night.
I made a cute little book out of an magazine page (the cover), gelli prints (the pages) and some cotton string I've had forever in about 10 minutes. A special thank you to Courtney Adair Johnson who taught me how to make this quick mini book out of recycled papers when I attended the Hands On Creativity Day at Plaza Arts in Nashville.
What a gorgeous little book Boo! Making books is so much fun. x
ReplyDeleteFabulous Boo. I like making books too, I've got a few but they aren't very pretty, unlike this one. The sunflower is awesome and your owl is very cute I think :0) x
