Just playing around in the digital word a bit.
Using some of my custom brushes along with filters and a kaleidoscope plugin I made this….

I can scarcely believe that I’ve written that many posts!
And even more shocking is the fact that you all are still here reading after all this time.
Especially considering that I’ve been in quite a dry spell lately.
With that said, I’d like to reward one of you for sticking with me by sending you one of my newly created scrap journals.
All you need to do is leave a comment on this post, making sure I have some way to contact you if you are the winner.
I’ll draw the winning name on November 27th.
The winner will have their choice of cover designs.
Easy peasy, right!?!?
I’ve been working on loom knitting again. I have an order for 10 dishcloths and am expecting I’ll be getting a few more orders real soon. I decided to use some of my scraps of yarn to give some visual interest to these cloths. Waste not, want not.
As long as I was thinking scrappy…
I put together the first in a series of journals. The cover is a print of one of my kaleidoscopes. I believe this one started as a rose.
I love the look of all the different papers. It’s up to the recipient to decide how to use them.
Since my last post almost all my time and energy has been taken up dealing with my folks and their health issues.
My life feels a bit chaotic right now. I felt this kaleidoscope I made a while back summed up what my mind has been doing for the past week.
I hope to get back on track soon by doing at least a little bit of art now and again. As well as keeping up with the altered book blog class I am taking.
My daughter was thrilled when she opened this one.
She had wanted this particular book when I was wrapping it up in November. We must have had one person drop from the swap since I got my own back.
Anyway, I made 12 little books each with a different kaleidoscope I created as the cover.
I was cleaning off my craft area this morning and found this page I had completed last week. I never took a picture because the glue was drying then I forgot all about it.
I used all my scraps and abandoned ideas from our family Christmas letter. The star on the left is one of my digital kaleidoscopes that I had printed then very carefully cut out.
This second page I whipped together and it kind of shows…
It was just scraps I had laying around. I wanted to make something just to prove to myself that I hadn’t completely lost it. Not a fantastic piece but this is just my “playtime” altered book anyway.

I’m having so much fun making these!
