Even the suffocating heat couldn't deter me from heading out to the studio today! Earlier this afternoon, I sat and drew three full sheets of sketches from some thoughts and ideas that have been coming to me regarding some pages and page accents that I'd like to create for a new deco.
As I sat and filled the page with the sketches and the breathings of my heart, the desire to get to creating the actual Deco itself continued to grow and grow; until finally I could not resist the urge to get started a moment longer!
I used eight 12"x12" printed papers for my deco pages, mostly Rusty Pickle and K & Company's Life's Journey printed papers for their vintage appearance. Desiring to create it while still in my creative frenzy, I scored each page to make them 6"x12"; then, scored them 6" in the center of the 12" side. After peircing and binding the scored and folded pages together in a pamphlet stitch, some pages were adhered together while a few were sewn using the leftover bookbinding wax linen thread. I love the appearance the printed scrapbook pages, even the upside down ones from folding the paper. After finishing that, I went through my stash of cardstock scraps and then, full sheets of Bazill cardstock in colors that I desired to use in the creation of the deco. Setting them aside, I focused my attention on decorating the deco's front cover --- which isn't a cover at all but the first outside sheet of printed paper. I am loving how it is coming along so far, unfortunately an hour and a half spent in the smelting heat of the studio was all I could withstand. Hmmm, maybe I should pull a third-shift schedule out there, LOL! It would definately have to be a lot cooler!
