Firstly re my previous post, Dave has asked me to say thank you to everyone that kindly sent Birthday wishes to him ... thank you x
Today I am showing a few pages of my letter journal I made for Rike as we have both received our letter journals now and Rike will soon be showing the lovely one that she kindly made for me.
(you may have already seen the other letter journal which was for Beo and her lovely one made for me. )
I couldn't resist using this rubber stamp of this sweet bear delivering mail onto the Gelli printed cover. I did a lot of Gelli printing which was fun and tried things I hadn't done before.
There were several pages inspired by our conversations and also exercises from a book
The creature on the right page is stuck on a folded circle so that I could write my secret message there. The creature was 'found' among blobs and swirls of paint - an exercise in that book.
Yesterday the weather here was awful and did nothing but rain all day, along with high winds and was only about 10c instead of the upper 20s+ we had last week. After a bit of blog catching up (still not completed) I spent a fun afternoon playing... there was shrink plastic, paints, dies, glass bead medium, a lantern torch etc etc ... err? a torch? ... more of that though for another post.
thanks for stopping by,
hope you have a lovely day.

Lovely mail-journal, looks like you had big fun using those sweet stamps, lovely drawings too. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour letter journal is SO much fun. I really enjoyed it. When I saw the animals, I thought of Sheila at Orange Esmeralda. These are the type of creatures she would make.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love shrink plastic. Sounds like you had a wonderful day chasing the cold away.
So much fun art in this post Gill. Rike got some good mail. I can tell you were having a lot of creative joy! We had horrible weather yesterday also, but I didn't get any studio time. I am headed there in just a few minutes for a little play time. :) Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWonderful work on the journal pages with lots of variety. We had the same weather yesterday but it has been wonderful again today

This is another wonderful letter journal, Gill! I love what you did.
ReplyDeleteAll those cute animals and beings and you colourful gelli prints!
And my best wishes for Dave, may the next year be his best one ever!
I think we now have the same weather: Cold, stormy and rainy....
Have a good time playing!
PS: Your washi tape turned out very well!!!!
ReplyDeleteIts a fantastic letter journal and the images looked fun as well as cute.
ReplyDeleteWe had that storm and there is more to come, so it looks like a good excuse to get in the crafting zone. I look forward to seeing what you make with the shrink plastic.

Wow, what a wonderful exchange, it looks like you both had so much fun creating these journals for each other 😀. I love the Gelli Plate backgrounds, I've been thinking of getting one myself, it'll have to wait though as I've already spent my crafting pennies this month ... lol 😉. Happy Friday! J 😊
