Notebooks Thirty, Thirty-One and Thirty-Two

Welcome to new followers and many thanks for all the kind comments left on my last post. Not much has been going on here. I thought that it was high time that I caught up with with making and posting my notebooks. Number thirty is a zig-zag one. The cover is a copy of a copy of a photograph of my Grandfather when he was very young. He was born in early August and at the beginning of the last century. I knew him until he was 89, he so wanted to get to 90.

Number thirty-one is a Moleskein ® notebook with a die cut flower from grunge paper.



This is the sheet that I cut it from. I have used some other shapes on a collage picture that I am working on. I am not sure what I feel about it as a material. I always think that it is good try out new things.

While I was painting and decorating the grunge paper I used an odd piece of silk fabric instead of paper towel to mop up the spare ink and paints. I am quite pleased with the results and will certainly do it again. In fact I have used this piece to ink-jet copy onto other materials and in turn that fabric has been used in a journal. It is for a present so I am not able to show you yet.

Notebook thirty-two is another very simple zig-zag notebook with a collage cover back and front.




Finally I will leave you with a picture of the late of summer. Autumn has come early this year.



I hope that you are all well and enjoying a peaceful weekend.
