I have used watercolouring paper for the pages, which I folded in half and then hand stitched together. The album has a wrap around cover, giving me plenty of room to add things as I go, it is made from calico and lots and lots of gesso, which gave it a leathery feeling once it dried, and that did take some time.
I've used all sorts of paint, ink, pastels etc to embellish the cover, from some very old hobbytex paints
( haven't used them for about 15 years - but most were still OK, some needed thinning), through to glitter. There are elements made of paper, chipboard, material, some die cuts, hand drawn pieces and so the list goes on. Would not have been possible without my trusty Modge Podge.
I had come to a stand still and knew it had to be finished, which I did this weekend Yeah!! thanks to these 3 challenges that got me going again.
