Faux Polaroids

Today, I added to my stash of Faux Polaroids as I think I'd like to put them in the book that's currently under construction. And I turned one actual Polaroid into a faux...

 

Yep, that's my husband and me...a million years ago. I honestly had no idea we were that cute! Oh well.

One More Book

I know we're moving on to February lessons but I'm still hanging back and making one more book. This time, I'm using one of my mother's old yearbooks. Cover is done and I'm working on mastersheets for the pages. 

Folios into a Book...January Project Done!

I measured and calculated to tear my mastersheets into foglios with no scrap and still get a decent size for a book.

I planned on making two books, and I was a bit limited by the size of the boards I was using for covers. Two books with what I had for pages felt a little sparse. I wished I'd made a couple more mastersheets.

In the end, I crammed them into one really chunky book full of delicious fodder that, apparently,  I'm to tear into to actually use.

Monstersheets and Some Cooking

I've created two mastersheets that are about 36" by 24"...monstersheets. I even experimented with gesso transfers. I think I'm ready to tear these into pages.

And, I tried a new recipe...sticky sesame cauliflower. It looks delicious but was a bit too tangy. I'll have to make some adjustments.  

Finally!

I managed to get a little bit of Fodder school in for December...some woodgrain experiments with the gelliplate....thanks to Sally Hirst .

 

And I'm working on big mastersheets for January Fodder School with Liz Constable. My first is done. It's about 36" by 24". I can't wait to tear into this for book pages.

 

 

Baking Queen

 I spend most of the month baking cookies! 

 

 

And then, because I couldn't let fresh cranberries go to waste...muffins!

 

 

Today, because the butternut squash has been rolling around the kitchen for much too long, I made soup!

 

 

 

More Books

I made a few more mastersheets and then made more books. Now, I'm stuck, waiting to have a backyard burn so I can "age" some tins.

And I started gluing fodder scraps to my Kindle cover. This feels like a perpetual work in progress.
