Prep for the 2013 Fall semester of Handmade U is in full swing! This will be my fifth time attending! I can't wait!
This semester's classes aren't journal themed and so I wasn't sure if I would be motivated to create a souvenir journal. But then a friend of mine gifted me with a bag FULL of postcards. They ranged in date from 1903 to the 80s. There were some genuine keepers in the bunch but there were also a bunch of stinkeroonies.
It was great that there were some stinkeroos because having all of them inspired me to create a journal for Handmade U!
To obliterate the unwanted images of crappy motels or free buffets, I either painted them with gesso or collaged them with a variety of ephemera, scrapbook papers and decorative tapes.
I'll be sure to show more pictures as this little thing comes together!
Thank you for being here. xo
fun ! and a trip by Michelle without a journal ? oh my - I can't imagine :) so glad you'll be putting one together. I'm curious to know how you'll be attaching / binding them all together.
Hugs friend !
