That Felt Good

I feel a little (well actually alot ) MIA these days. Work is all consuming leaving little time for artsy things. It is also hard to get enthusiastic about blogging when one sits in front of a computer all day - sometimes I just need to get away from the dang thing...

That said I had an urge earlier today to cut and glue the good old fashioned way. Hard to believe it is a year ago I signed up for Mary's class and got introduced to gluebooks. I decided to start a new one - though I did hem and hah over a Moleskine or a different size...but this fella pretty much determined it was going to be the traditional route...

For this book I am going to try to stick with graphics and photos of children. I am also going to try hard to only use the REAL thing - no downloading and printing stuff. Everything from my stash (which is a good size now) which may force some thinking out of the box on my part. For this spread I used paper from an old atlas, dictionaries and two childrens book I thrifted. It did feel good just to be focused on this and "play". Enjoy. Jewels
