Slip Knot Stitch Binding Collage Book

I used a Slip Knot Stitch Binding and an old Tab File Folder to create this collage book. I adorned the binding with natural irregular stone beads. The Collage Book measures 4 x 6 inches. Includes quotes and Tim Holtz Eccentric Remnant Rubs and Stamperia rub-on transfers. I also used a variety of Background Collage Papers, Washi Stickers, Frames & Die Cuts. Inspired by 'Made By Martha' on YouTube.
 

Accordion Envelope Mini Book

I constructed this accordion envelope mini book with a handmade decoupage box using Tim Holtz collage Entomology Paper. It measures 3.25" x3.5". Kit Davey on YouTube has an easy to follow tutorial to make this book from envelopes. Make your own or use envelopes you have. I used The Paper Studio 'Ephemera' Scrapbook Paper Pad to create 12 envelopes and folded tag inserts plus the chipboard cover. Used hemp cord with rolled paper beads as tie closure.

Mushroom Obsessed!

 

More Mushrooms! I made more mushrooms using Air Dry Clay. I used twigs for the stems on the larger mushrooms and hot-glued the tops before painting. The two smaller ones were completely made from the clay. Painted with folkArt Acrylic Paint and then sealed with Modge Podge Gloss. Arrangement is sitting on a piece of bark with some moss interspersed. Fun Project!

Making Mushrooms

Made these fun, cute little mushrooms from air dry clay and potted them in my vintage planter. What's not to love!

I did say I was mushroom obsessed!
