new homemade watercolor paper journal

 Water color Canson cold press paper 140.......cut in half....fold in half drill holes

 Tear edges buy hand all around paper about 11 inches x 8 inches

 Sew with good thick STRING . I made 3 pages to one section because the paper is thick.sew sections then sew the sections together . glue last page and first page to book cover.

 In one section I add beads seed beads you need to use a beading needle to do this and nylon type thread.

paper feathers

I have discovered paper feathers so pretty, for some reason My colors are not coming out as bright as the card, but they are cute and fun to make. paper thin wire glued then another paper glued to back crease the wire with your finger nails to give it the feather bone look. cut a few kincks and curves and there you have it a pretty paper feather.

paper and fabric mix media greeting card

The flower is fabric , I sewed the white lines by hand and used sharpies to color.Couldn’t find pink string so I used white string and colored it with the same colored pink marker.The seeds are mini paper brads, yes I used it on the fabric… I never follow directions, just go with the flow and try not to rock the boat. hahaa… hopefully this will get me back in the crafting spirit..
