Moving right along in the process the next You Tube video Teesha Moore Journaling Part 2 of 4 continues demonstrating Teesha’s technique with bordering the pages and begins to add focal collage images – now the fun really begins.
Front Cover - Adding collage elements inside the borders.
When I got to this part I worried that it would feel kind of like an assembly line, but as I sorted through my envelopes of images (do you remember that I am doing this in the front seat of the car?) I found myself choosing a head for this page and a pair of shoes for that page. The perfect legs for that body and a new smile for that head. It was fun and the kids in the backseat would often poke a head into the front seat and kibbitz.
The picture above is the front cover in progress. The border consists of my favorite things, coffee, chocolate, flowers, pillows and good books. So it is only logical that the golden, sybaritic Egyptian Queen be the center piece. In this photo, I am only as far as gluing in the elements, there is no attempt to alter the images or blend them into the picture. That will happen in a future video – how do I know? I peeked!
Wonderful Feet!
The Perfect Body - and those legs!
This really was the most fun yet! The kids and I giggled, cutout and glued as the car forged through Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and into Washington.
The pages got wilder than the wild west as the miles went by and the coffee went down, by the time we got to the turn around point we realized there would be NO turning back.
