Hello and happy May 1st!
At Our Creative Corner Jennie enchants us, inviting us to open old books:
"Hit the Books
I adore old book paper and old books and I am always glad to be able to breath new life into a dilapidated book which most people would consider throwing out!
For your projects this month we would like to see you searching through your stash for old book paper or books and create a project with what you find. You might want to use papers within your project or you might want to breath new life into an old book by altering it in some way. I hope I have chosen a challenge theme with huge scope for projects small or large.
Whatever you make let us see you give those old book papers or books centre stage!"
Voici ce qui m'est venu:
Here's what came to me:

J'ai commencé par protéger ma page en la collant et l'enduisant de gel médium.
I started with protecting the page gluing and covering it with medium mat gel.
Puis je l'ai embossée, à la poudre transparente, avec un pochoir "horloge", afin d'obtenir un motif "résistant".
Then I embossed it with clear powder and a "clock" stencil, to get a resist design.

Ensuite ce sont les Brushos et les encres qui ont joué leur partition...
Then Brushos and inks played on...

Coucou Lys, je suis contente de te rendre visite, pour admirer cette très belle page... Elle fait honneur aux vieux livres qu'on aime toutes et qu'on ne saurait jeter sans regrêt.
RépondreSupprimerEt puis, j'aime ta partition jouée par tes encres et brushos, et les petits détails comme ta belle couture! :)
Et oh, contente aussi de voir que c'est ma marque fêtiche qui est sponsor du challenge ce moi-ci! :-))
Bises, et merci d'avoir accepté mon invitation sur FB.. Je viens de le voir en parallèle! Egalement, je te souhaite un joli mois de mai.
PS: Sais-tu où en es ta colombe dans son voyage?...
jolie page qui offre plein de gaité pour commencer ce mois de mai !
RépondreSupprimerI really love this, Lys - beautiful spring colours and the way you have kept the book text so present to add to the beauty and depth of the piece. Wonderful altered pages.

Lys this is stunning in so many ways. I love the way you have kept the book pages complete, but then used such wonderfully bight spring colours - it just sings! Fabulous! Thank you for creating such a wonderful project for my challenge and so glad you enjoyed it! Jennie x

OMG Lys, I cant stop looking at this. I think it is my favourite of yours ever. So many gorgeous layers and detailing and the colour palette is the right balance of calm and excitement. I loved the resisted clock and how it contrasts with the gentle watercolouring on the background and then how all of that is offset with texturing that you have created and assembled with the stamped, ripped and stitched bits of paper and cord. Loved all of it. -Hugs- Candice
