Creative mess.......





Recently I discovered a very clever artist/crafter on utube. Now it is very rare I go on utube but I wanted to see if I could get any tips for the artist book I was making. Her utube name is Rachel0113 she is extremely talented. Well I became addicted to watching all her utube clips she makes lovely mini albums, journal pages, scrap booking and card making. I would like to use collage more in my college work so I decided to have a go using some of the ideas I picked up from the utube clips. I got a lovely moleskin sketchbook for my birthday from my wonderful friend Sue C and it is just perfect for this project. I had recently bought a book from the works £1.99 called Victor Frankenstein and the workings of the human body because I loved the illustrations and the quirkiness of the book. I decided I was going to use this as a starting point for my collage page.  As you can see I made quite a mess creating the collage page but I really enjoyed myself. I did not plan the page I just went with whatever happened next and whatever popped into my mind. I am happy with the end result and it was very relaxing afternoon. That is until I realised how much of a mess I'd made! Where is the cleaning fairy when you need her?

hi Kath I am lucky that I have such a fab room to be creative in. I have the feeling though at some point in the near future it will have to be condensed to fit a single bed in. Until that day I will continue to make a creative mess in there lol xx
