Where on earth did the last week go?!!! I can't believe I've not got to the computer for a whole week...too much work, that's the trouble! It's play date time again and this week it's colour splash time...that seems to have come around quickly too ;)
This lilac rose really caught my eye, and I realised that although I like purple/lilac, it isn't a colour I use very often in my artwork. I also decided to challenge myself to use black lace and stitching against a white background rather than vice versa. This has meant lots of hunting for suitable materials, which ended successfully in the charity shop with a lacy jumper!
I created a tiny flag book [7cmx6cm] in matchbook style, decorating each page with scraps of paper and lace and some 'useful facts' I gleaned from the only white paged book on my bookshelf - most of them are on the creamy, old side!
Apparently our New Year didn't start on the 1st Jan until 1700 and something! Up until then it was the 24th March.
Enjoy working with these colours, and don't forget to visit our fabulous team of designers for some great inspiration!
Really love this tiny book...you made the color work so beautifully with the black and white : ) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of splash colour Sarah! Love your artsy little book to bits and pieces :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I never knew that!! Love the colour splash choice this week, and my mind is already whirring .... shame I'm at work and can't get to translate it into art till later on!!
ReplyDeleteStunning make Sarah, the colours are equisite and lilac isn't one I use very often either.
ReplyDeleteYou inspired me and now I want to have a go.
Have a great day.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
Fabulous little book Sarah, I love the colours, and the interesting fact that you dug up! Judith xx
ReplyDeleteWonderfully creative, Sarah. Love those splashes of purple...just so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, that cover is sooooo pretty. You've really nailed the use of your "splash" color. I think the use of a white background with hints of black is just heavenly.
ReplyDeleteGREAT color story, Sarah! I love Color Splash time, and I love purple, so this week was lots of fun. Love your teeny, tiny book.
ReplyDeleteJust love all your little snippets from old books! This project is simply beautiful, Sarah!
ReplyDeleteGreat use for a lacy jumper Sarah, I love the tiny book and loved the ones from the workshop. Sorry I could not make it my dad is very I'll at the min but recovering slowly. Hopefully you will repeat the baker of books workshop again in the near future. Tracy Evans.
