Hello hivers, an happy Sunday to you all! I hope you are spending a nice weekend! Cold cold weather here and I spent a part of my Sunday cleaning my home. As I wrote before, I live in a lab-home and even if we have a very large room where we can work on paintings and on sculptures too, at the end the most part of my home is also a lab because I have tools, colors and a lot of materials in every corner of every room. Useful but a little chaotic and when I clean hard around is like to a sort of treasure hunt, because I can find things I forgot to have. 😁
This morning, before to start to clean around, I decided to paint and create a new handmade pocket journal and, in the following pics, you can see the final result:
Yes, I painted one of my "special" plants vase on the cover of one of the pocket journal I sewed by my hands.
On the cover (I cut it from a sheet of 200 gsm paper) I used my oil colors and after I painted the vase I created the journal cutting some sheets of 90 gsm paper for the pages. I sewed all together with a dark pink cotton wire and, as usual, I took some pics during the process too:
Soon I'll add some similar handmade journals to my Etsy shop (link at the bottom), stay tuned!
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
