Another fabric collage!
These are definitely going to be something you’ll be seeing more of. Love all the texture and movement you get with all the layers.
You can find this one in my esty store.

For December, UHU sent me some glass beads, magnets and twist & glue to create some more glass bead magnets.
These glass beads were about 1/2 the size as the ones I had previously used. It was fun finding different words and pictures to use with this size.
Go check out the other design team members magnets as well on the UHU blog.
This entire book used scraps of book pages glued to the board book in a random fashion. I then use paint, stamps, markers, correction fluid and colored pencils to create my backgrounds.
This is a Kelly Rae Roberts technique that I have absolutely fallen in love with.
Before becoming a member of the UHU design team, I used to think gel medium was the only glue that I could use for this technique. After getting my sample glues, I discovered that the UHU twist & glue works perfectly! No more messed up brushes or the oh so wonderful…walked away and left the top off the jar of gel medium. I was famous for that one. Did I mention I’m easily distracted…?
I tried something a little different with the spine. I sewed 2 scraps of fabric together using decorative stitches on my machine. I put a couple of large eyelets near the top so I could attach some fun fibers and charms. I used the UHU twist & glue to attach the fabric spine to the front and back covers.
I love how it turned out!
I love playing in this board book. I’ve been using a Kelly Rae inspired background technique on all the pages. The book has no other theme or direction. Maybe I should call it Random Inspiration. Hey, I like that!
The little girls came from a sewing book. The watering can girl reminded me a Alice in Wonderland. It all came together in my mind after that.
It feels a little trippy to me. All it needs is the caterpillar with his hookah.
I have no idea what or how or even IF I’m going to use any of these items but I put them all together in my own little treasure box.
Just look at the tiny little glasses! Real glass lenses.
An itty-bitty sterling silver spoon…
A mini pocket knife.
Treasures.
