Remains of the day Video

Untitled from hilda moffett on Vimeo.

This is the first time I've attempted doing a video - so please be gentle with me lol

I took an on line course with Mary Ann Moss entitled Remains of the Day - had lots of fun doing it and will definately do another

Recycled Journal

I've had so much fun doing this journal - I started with a pile of old newspapers !!!! added some glue, some ink and paint along with images and bits and pieces - made a couple of covers and hey presto - my reccyled journal - there are 18 pages as well as the front and the back

"teesha" style journal

Recycled Newspaper

I completely made this journal using recycled materials i.e. Newspaper and tin foil !!!

I got my inspiration from a dvd that Donna Downey had produced. I tore newspaper into squares and then with a glue stick attached about 10 pieces together to make one page. I continued in this way until I had 10 pages and 2 covers. I made my pages into 5 signatures by adding strips down the side by gluing and machine stithing them. I covered my front and back with tinfoil that I had embossed in my Vagabond. I then used ten second studio tools to add a bit more detail after coating with black gesso I rubbed most of it off to leave a worn and weathered look. I coated all my signatures with white gesso and did some machine stitching on them before attaching them with a coptic stitch to my covers.

I completed my first 2 pages using pan pastels, stencils, stamping and images. They were both finished off with text

Pretty pleased with the result and will probably make more - might make one out of an old dictionery or telephone directory

Hot Glue Gun Resist

I covered my pages with gesso and then added colour with stencils and spray inks then I used a hot glue gun to write the word Dream on the top page and decorate the hearts on the bottom page - love the way it acts as a resist. I did lots of stamping and used some rub ons to add wording to my pages - quite pleased with the results - I'll probably add some journalling to them later

Alcohol ink backgrounds

I always thaught that you had to use glossy cardstock for alcohol inks - how wrong was I - for these backgrounds I gessoed my pages and then for one used alcohol inks and blew them around with a straw - the other one was done with alcohol inks put on to a pad in stripes and then just rubbed over the page - fab aren't they. I filled in the white spaces on the blown one with silver mixative

Art Journal pages

What fun I've had creating these pages - I used texture paste,pan pastels, lots of stencils and bits and pieces along with serviettes, stamping and even some sand !!!

These pages fall in with the challenge set on Take a Word which this week is Wings

Doodling pages

I wasn't quite sure where these pages were going to go when I started but am quite pleased with the finished result. I again started with gesso and pan pastels - did my doodling - added some stamping and a couple of bits of ephemera and then did my journalling

I think these pages fit in well with the Three Muses Challenge where this week the theme is "Words"

Journal pages

Another 2 pages done for my journal - I'm having so much fun creating them. I started with a coat of gesso then added colour with my pan pastels - used colour wash spray through a stencil to add the lettering - added siome stamping and pieces cut out from a magazine along with soem bits of ephemera I finished off by adding my wording

I think these fit in well with the Wednesday Stamper challenge where the theme is "Numbers"
