Sharing an old project…

Dear self 01

I have several boxes in my studio where I keep past projects, mini albums, etc. I was digging around in one, looking for something to inspire me, and I came across this little project. I am sure I posted it years ago (thought I haven't gone back to find it). I couldn't find the original pictures I took if it on my computer, either, so I photographed it again.

I love this little book. I love its message, the white space, the colors, the collage. It's made out of watercolor paper  & tags, and machine-sewn together. It's all about empowerment and positive self-talk. I must have done this pre-Dylusions, because that yellow you see is Butterscotch Color Wash. I can also spot Stream Color Wash, and acrylic paint. Alphabet stamps are by Stampotique.

I taught this little book as a class at The Creative Quest (now The Occasional Artist) here in Glendale. I think only 3 or 4 people took the class, which is fine. I have it sitting over my desk now, so I can look at it and enjoy it.
