I've been a little lax about scanning lately. I started a new job last week and put in 40 pretty intense hours of training at the computer so didn't want to put much more time in. But this weekend I got a couple pages scanned so want to share them with you.
NaNoJouMo day 19 the word was FRAY. Since I was feeling a little frayed from a week of training I extended it out to FRAYED and the page above is what I came up with. The background is watercolor pencils. Then I used a piece of mesh fabric with frayed edges. The word is on a piece of ledger paper that I first drew a bunch of lines on with a sharpie and a ruler. Then tour it out of the ledger paper and inked the edges with a black ink pad. Then I stamped the word "frayed" on the paper and adhered it and the mesh down with gel medium.
NaNoJouMo Day 13 the word was MYSTIQUE. Below is the page I made inspired by that word. I decided it should be a tribute to the ever mysterious, ever powerful Feminine Mystique. And I wouldn't want to say anything more about it and take away from the Mystique!
The background is watercolor crayon. I then covered the whole page with used postage stamps stuck down with gel medium. Stuck a blue border of stamps on 3 sides with more gel medium. Then printed the words on a piece of ledger paper and cut it out with postage stamp decorative scissors. Edged it with teal ink and stuck it down with gel medium. Last step was to put more stamps down on and over the edges of the ledger paper.
I'll share more as soon as I have a chance. I want to thank Dawn again for sharing NaNoJouMo with us. You can check what she's posted for it all month on her blog here. Thanks for taking a look.
