Online classes

It has been a while since my last post but the thing is that beside hectic at work I have been creating. I have completed another altered book, started altering few thins, made some book covers which are awaiting to be bound, have enrolled into jewelery class...

Well I decided not to post it in chronological order. I will start with my latest project.

Last week I got an e-mail from a friend of mine, Martina Hart to join her on the journey through "Texture Town" by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen .

The first lesson was Implied texture and I made Journal covers:



The second lesson was Choose your colour (you may have only one guess about my first choice):



The second and third colour choice are waiting for canvases to dry...
