Progress is being made on the Cornwall Journal -
my wonderful Margot volunteered to drill the holes
through the cabinet cards and postcards.
She's great at this sort of thing, and it's not my forte
so I was glad to hand it off to her expertise.
It was quite a stack to get through!
Planning embellishments for the front,
and have everything for each spread in it's own envelope,
so I wouldn't forget anything.
Tomorrow will start the affixing with
heavy gel medium and matte medium.
Hope to have it finished sometime this weekend -
not bad for a project that got started last November! LOL!
It is so comforting to know I'm not the only one who needs lots of marinating time!!
ReplyDeletebobbie - When I first started with mixed media I thought I needed to start something and get it done - but over the years I've learned that that resting or "marinating" time is so important - all part of the process. I know it's made me a better artist. Funny how sometimes we fight things and they realize it's just what's needed. Fellow marinaters unite!
ReplyDeleteI admire and envy your sense of order, recognizable as such, all the more so for going hand-n-hand with creativity. This looks like a joyous, meaningful project. xo
ReplyDeleteMarylinn - I've always been organized, but finding it even more important now with my mind so full of dealing with with the cancer. Hence the envelopes for each page - I knew if I didn't do that I'd forget something until it was too late! More progress shots soon!
