I didn't work much in the trailer this weekend, but I do have the shelving arranged. Now that I've seen it, I think I will still surround the three stacks with a deep shelving unit...about 10 to 12 inches deep and secured to the wall.
I'm excited about the number of shelves...they should hold all the supplies that I want to take along on the ride.
Here's the latest on my Mixed Media Page that involves layering. Layering is interesting. I haven't quite decided if I'm comfortable with it or not.
I've also started work on my Altered Journal Swap. The steps I've done so far are to apply a linen fabric to both the front and the back of the journals. On the front, I then applied spring colored calico fabric in a crazy quilt pattern, then a ribbon on the bound edge. That was followed by a layer of lace and finally a strip of lace on the bound edge. The front is now ready to be decorated.
On the back I applied a piece of embroidery plus another piece of calico fabric on the bottom. I plan on adding the name of the person receiving the swap on the calico and finally a layer of lace. That will probably be all I do to the back, at least that's my plan for now.
I will be decorating some of the pages on the inside, especially the front inside cover page. The journals are not identical but here's a couple pictures of one of them so far...
Warm weather returned today...the snow is melting. Tomorrow is even warmer. That's good because there's a pile of ice and snow in front of the trailer. I'm quite sure I won't be able to pull it out unless that pile is gone.
Take some time and relax this evening...
Thanks for stopping by...
