Phew, that was a big job. Only got my Pink Pig yesterday as my friend Pat had been all the way to Emiley to buy them to make sure we got them in time and what with the snow and me being away, we only managed to get together yesterday. I gessoed the double spread, then used Claudine Hellmuth's paints in various colours, bit of stamping, bit of this, bit of that, and Bob's your uncle. I must say that having now seen it, I will do February differently. It's amazing isn't it how we are never satisfied and always feel we could have done better. Anyway, ready to start tomorrow, although I may do a few more alterations until I'm happier with it. This challenge is being run by the fabulously creative Kate Crane, you must take a look at her blog and of course the various publications her work appears.....even the good old USA! Jill is doing a more sedate blog and she was the original inspiration, please take a look. It's not too late for you to take part. A Happy, Peaceful and Creative New Year to all of you out there in craft/blog land.
I love the colours in this one... It's so fresh... I have a pink pig book too that I started using for journaling but I am doing my calendar in a K&Co Junk-it Up spiral bound book and I am combining it with an art journal... Hope you enjoy the journey...x
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic - you will have fun. the first time I did one I collaged each day's number - took me hours! Now I just write them on. And what dedication to get your Ping Pig - I love them and now have three sizes. Happy New Year to you.
