Art Every Day Month - (AEDM) Day 25 - 30

This is the final day of Art Every Day Month and I have really enjoyed taking part.  If you haven't yet visited some of the other creatives I encourage you to.  Here are my efforts for the last few days...

Day 25

This week I've been making a lot of backgrounds, and made me some tagsfrom some of them, which will be used in some of the mini journals that I have been making

Day 26

This is a lined mini A6 journal, did some stitching on the cover will be adding some additional sparkly things to it.

Day 27

This journal cover is made from a mince pie box and cereal box, covered in recycled painted paper, paper beads, the contents is made from old cards stock. I did some stitching and have some more decoration to add, will do a post about it at some point.

Day 28

Been collecting quotes, this is a hot chocolate container covered in pinted recycled paper, fabric quotes lable sewn onto paper and houses some of my favourite ones that I will use in projects.

Day 29

Really taken with reusing materials, these are cds that I've covered with recycled painted paper and will be making some mini books out of these as well

Day 30

Back to pen and ink been working on this fellow for a few days, this is what I do to unwind, very therapeutic!

Looking forward to seeing the other creatives that took part in Art Every Day Month

Recycling

I love the idea of taking something that would normally be thrown away and creating something else.  These journals started their journey as cereal boxes, junk mail and used envelopes, which we all seem to have so much of.....

 with a bit of paint, creativity and imagination they now will tell

many different stories,  I can try out techniques before

committing to larger pieces and basically have fun!

I've just got to be mindful that the collecting

doesn't turn into hoarding!
