Make your own (art) book - step by step

Hello and welcome

Today I want to show you something awsome! I have found a new super hobby: Make my own book. Yes, you read correctly, I have made my own book, and it was awsome. I looooove it! I want to do more of this!

The front of the book

The back of the book

Of course I will show you step by step how I did it. 

Here is a overlock picture from my worktable:

As binders I have used cardboard in size 15 x 20,5 cm. I have outside of the cardboard glued down a piece of fabric and sewn onto a heart in the lace fabric. I've sewn and glued back and glued gauze surface before I measured, cut and paste on cardboard.

And inside the book? Well,  there is everything from notes, sketches, recipes, painting techniques, artworks of my little daughter at 2 1/2, and drawings from other kids that have been visiting and drawed og painted, knitting patterns, interior design tips, etc. Yes, everything that interests me it is this book. It's both, handwritten as well as cutout form magazines and old book etc.

There are also bits of whimsy and envelopes in this book. This is an brilliant way to reuse. Take all you have left of your bills (after you have paid them off course), advertising, wallpaper remnants, fabrics .... well everything goes, it's just your imagination that stop you

Everything is in A4 format and then I folded the sheets so that they then become A5.

I put them together every four sheets fold them out and sew with a sewing machine in the middle. It goes about 15 such batchers in one book.

Art from my daughter :-)

I hope I inspired you to do your own (art) book. It was very fun to do, I promise you :-)

Now I am gonna make a Christmas (art) book. I can show you it when I'm done, so make shore you stay tuned so you don't miss a thing ;-)

If you have any question just use the comment field below. I hope to see you soon. Thank you so much for stopping by. And if you make you own book I would looove to see it - please send me a picture of it.


Hugs from ME 2 YOU

October Challenge - Rubber Dance Stamps

Hello and welcome to my post of Autumn.

I love autumn! That is my favorite season. That's because I have birthday in the autumn, but also because I like to enjoy myself inside with candles, deer stew, fire in the fireplace and curl up well in the couch with a good glass of wine and maybe a good series on Netflix :-) And I can also go to my studio and be creative with a good conscience.

Today I want to show you a Art Journal Page I just did With the gorgeous stamps from Rubber Dance. Remember to join in on the Challenge over at Rubber Dance and you can win some of these beautiful stamps I've used on this page.

I was based in the colors for October and the theme:

Happy colours in Art Journal - step by step

Hello and welcome to my world of art <3

Today I will show you an double art journal page that I'm very proud of.
I will first inform you that I have been inspired by the lovely Mimi Bondi. She is one of the most talented artist I know of, So I dedicate this page to her.

I have used many different colors in bright tones and painted layers and layers...
I have only used my fingers to apply the Paint.

I've also used rubber stamps, gold ink, black ink and stencil.

Here is some close ups of the pages:

 

 

For the big elephant I have used stencil. On the first page I've using black Dylusions Paint on the body and bubblegum pink on the ears.

On the second page I lay the stencil down on the page, draw around inside the stencil and then I painted with black paint strokes until after taking away the stencil. Then I used the Dot Fade Stencil from Tim Holtz Collection on the black.

I am very proud of this pages. I think they were absolutely gorgeous, if I may say so. What do you think? Please leave me a comment and also come and visit med again.

An illustrative Art journal page - the story of my life

Helo and welcome

Today is the day I'm going to tell you my dearest followers and friends whats up. I think there has been enough secrets now and I like to be honest.

I've been a little off and on at my blog now recently and it is because I have been (and is) very ill. Some days are worse than others and then I have to rest and not do anything at all, just lay down in a quiet and dark room.

I'm under examination and have been to many neurologists, now, Wednesday this week I was in the capital with a neurologist. I've always had a thought about which disease who have set up camp with me but I have not until now been the ascertainable from a neurologist that I suffer from M.E. - Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
I have been referred to the very best specialists in this area in Norway; Haukeland Hospital in my hometown, where  I will get a proper assessment during the spring / summer 2016. As you probably understand by the long wait is very long queue to get to the assessment on the hospital. So I have to be patient and just rest as much as I can - and of course do some art. Art is therapy for me so when I feel a little better and is able to sit upright in a bright room I do crafting.

So, my dear friends this is my life story. And just to illustrate how I am feeling right now I made this Art Journal Page. I think it's speaks for it's self.....

I would greatly appreciate a note from you. Maybe you want to put words in my picture, or just say helo?


Big hugs, Niti/Anita

And always remember; Remember yesterday, Think of tomorrow, but Live today!
(because you never know you know.....)
