…week two, and finally it`s time for the fun part. Using Twitter and Facebook is okay, but I was hit in the head with a block once Cathy Zielske`s class started. Suddenly I felt that what I wrote should make sense or be the wittiest thing in the world. That will hardly happen – like ever. Cathy`s teaching is excellent as always and she got me producing pages in no time. I did some test prints to get the feeling of how it would turn out. Still don`t have a good plan for how I want to use this concept, but I do have a few ideas.
Once I got started I couldn`t stop. Since we are expecting a new baby boy in the family – in a few days, I bought a 6×6 powder blue album from WRMK. This would be a good format for a baby album – covering birth, family, homecoming, siblings, grandparents, the home….maybe as a gift for the christening. The downside – the page protectorswas at least 6,5×6,5. That means a lot of wast of paper. The good thing – the AC protectors do fit. Another thing: We are only half way through the class and I`m sure Cathy got something else up her sleeves so maybe it would be a good thing to stop producing pages…
Day 21 -Load May 09
The blue one and the pink one left for Trondheim with their dad early this morning. We have a red day in the calender today so they are visiting mom, who is ready to give birth tomorrow. That is the plan but we just have to wait and see. We have had a beautiful day here. I still can`t get shoes on my feet and I like to have a good excuse for staying inside:)
Instead of doing what I should do, I have been messing with my paint and doing just the things I enjoy. Hopefully I will get the rest of the supplies I need to finish Claudine Helmut`s class. In the meantime I have fun making art journals.
