Last weekend finally I decided to try it. In order to make a simple notebook as a gift for one of my BFF...her name is Hindy. She's my Godson Tomás's mom.
My big challenge here was that I've chosen the more cheap materials I could find among my craft stuff....I mean I took some "trash"...lol...as ordinary brown cardboard....and a lot of empty brown paper bags I've saved from my supermarket shoppings....lol ...at last some old natural color cotton...I have tried some of my silkscreens...made previously for my polymer clay projects.
Then...some Tim Holtz's Distress Ink( tea dye)...some Ranger's UTEE+ Melting pot...a silicone mold from a coral I got from my last vacations at my favorite brazilian beach...I mean....8y ago...( too bad...) and a golden string. I couldn't forget a bunch of asian rubber stamps I got from Stampfrancisco a couple of years ago....and some MS border punches, of course...lol
I've printed some of the brown paper bag pages on my HP laser printer .
(oops NO AFFILIATION with any craft product mentioned above)
I think it resulted pretty cool...and I have a lot of fun making it at my mom's apartment....( I swear I've cleaned all my mess when it was finished....lol).
Hope my BFF likes it.
AWESOME!!!!

ReplyDeletequerido chegou meu comentario ai ?
ReplyDeletePaulo, you did a great job! Is there nothing you can't do? LOL! Great, wonderful job!
ReplyDeletePaulo,
ReplyDeleteYou have created a beautiful and elegantly simple journal. The colors and the papers work so very well together. I'm not sure you should change anything about it. I think adding anything to the book would take away from it's current elegance.
