Award

I am very lucky to know so many great blogging friends....I just received this Breeze award from Diane http://dianesmixedart.blogspot.com, that was created by Peter Breese @ http://peterbreese.blogspot.com/
In his very own words: The coveted Breese Award is given to six inspirational individuals; since most blog awards cater to odd numbers, this particular award was designed for the more even keeled folk. These six should be a collection of bloggers that have helped you, either directly or indirectly, to stay creative.

I pass this award to the following people who have inspired me. Thanks to each & every one of you.

There are so many people that inspires me on the blog world.
Hard to say! Here are some very inspirational people:

TRansfer with watercolor pencils

This is an easy way to make transfers. What you need:

watercolor pencils
a sheet of light weight paper
a surface to make a "frottage" (you can use rubber stamps too)
Elmers glue (in Brazil we use Elmers glue for everything!!!!)
water
Lay the paper over the surface and go over with the pencil to make the "frottage".
Then mix the Elmers glue with water (one part glue/one part water) and with a brush wet the surface you want the transfer. Lay the frottage over the glue mixture, press a little, remove the paper and it's done.

Happy Easter and free collage sheet

Altered book - How to - Part II

And here is the finished book. I used paper to make the cover, but you can paint it, if you want.
And here are the pages.
I used this bold colors because I want to make an altered book about the fifties and I think this colors will work well.

Altered book - how to

This is the way I prepare books I'll alter.
Take an ordinary book, glue (you can use Elmers glue or other of your choice), some paper sheets (not too heavy), foam roller.


Take 2 or tree pages from the book you will alter and glue the first page with the foam roller.
Lay a sheet of paper over it and press well, maybe with an old credit card.

Then glue the three pages together with this sheet (see picture above).
Make this on the entire book (see pic).

When you have finished that, cut pieces of paper and glue them over the pages which have not been glued before.

Now you can paint the cover and embellish it.
