This is a really big journal and I can't get everything in one picture. This is the best that I can do. I hope you get the idea.
I absolutely adore pop ups. Check out Robert Sabuda's books. He does amazing pop ups. I'm not in his league, yet. But I still loved to make pop ups in my altered books and journals.

Hmm, now I am wondering if this piece needs more beads. I was thinking it is finished. I don't like to dither but deciding when something is finished can be a challenge for me. I am not loving this piece at the moment. I doesn't make me say 'oh wow' but I am not sure what I would add to it.
I have felt the need to play with very bright and vibrant colours of late. This mandala I made a few years ago but it was calling to me again. I have been loading it up with stitches to add texture. I realize these brights aren't everyone's taste. Since I am making it for me, I am not about to worry about what other people like or don't like. Playing in this field of colour makes me happy!

Here are some more bright and cheerful flowers. These flowers are such a fun playground for me. I can think of numerous ways I want to use them. It is a good thing I have a plethora of scraps for making them. The possibilities are truly endless! It looks like it is going to be a lovely day. I am imagining enjoying some stitching outside this afternoon. The weather looks perfect for it. I am linking to https://kathysquilts.blogspot.com/
this is so cool! i don't remember ever seeing a pop-up in a journal--it gives me fun ideas--thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! I think your pop-up makes a great addition to your journal. I bet my grandkids would like mine even more if I added some.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! And such a simple, effective component.
