It's all about letters and dictionaries: the alpha challenge. The challenge will be offered every second Sunday and the letters won't be chosen in alphabetical order ;o)
The rules are explained in detail on the craft barn blog.
We are to take a dictionary, chose a word and make it into a project.
This week it's the letter V.
I went for the word 'VANITY' and came up with something I intend to assemble into a journal in the end but is now only a loose page
The background is another Gelli Plate experiment - so no surprise there.
The stamp was sent to me by the wonderful and most generous Vee, I've been so very delighted to get it and thought it would fit well with the quote by R.L. Stevenson I chose. I tore out the definition of vanity of an old dictionary I purchased at a fleamarket, applied some crackle paint here and there as a resist, crumpled it and went over it with some DI spiced marmelade and vintage photo, glued it down. The words are computer generated, swiped through a few more DIs and glued down as well. The rose (Art Journey) is black embossed.
Thanks a lot for looking.
Hugs, Suzanne xxx
