INSPIRATION

a little bit of artsy inspiration :)

Hiya sistahs!

Well I promised to share some of my artsy stuff with you so here it is.. if you follow me in Instagram then you may have seen these 🙂

I LOOOVE collage.. I have said that for a long time but I really do.. I love the act of cutting and sticking.. I can’t explain it… finding the perfect image.. finding “accessory” images.. and putting it all into something new.. it’s SOOO much fun 🙂

I have started a little “gluebook” (a pocket sized moleskine sketchbook -3.5″ x 5″) and I vowed not to use ANY paint in here.. JUST paper… and I am LOVING this project.  L-O-V-I-N-G.  Whenever I need to “decompress”.. I head for this book and just cut and stick.  Am I weird? (ok don’t answer that LOL)

So here are some pages from my new GLOObook. (I like how GLOO looks LOL.. )

I drew her in my sketchbook while watching tv and fell SO in love with her that I cut her out and pasted her in my book

I found her picture from a vintage magazine and fell in love with her expression.. it was kind of how I felt at the moment.. and that's why I tell my story sometimes through vintage images.. sometimes that replaces actual writing for me

Here's a vintage mail inspired page.. with some new scrappy embellishments mixed in.. scrapbook letters, journal card and the cork chevrons.. the rest is vintage :)

    First – so glad that spam protection was easy – math is not my strong point;) Love this gloo idea – I have to get a book and start glooing when I get a block. Glooing – just glooing – what a great idea Emily!
    Hugs, CaroleAnn
