My New Work Space

So, I decided recently that I was tired of doing my class work while sitting on my bed because: (1) It is meant to be slept in, and (2) slouching over constantly was killing my back. My conclusion--- I needed a desk (which I already owned, but chose not to use.) Here is it, and I love it.

A New Project

I've started a new project. This one, will take sometime to complete. But here is the start of it. The book I purchased at Barns & Noble, it can be found in the journal section. It is a blank paged sketch book with a brown paper cover, and black binding.

The clippings I found in old National Geographic magazines. A really cool alternative to currant women’s magazines and such. The images are vintage, and culturally diverse. I pasted the clippings to a white poster board, and then measured and cut the poster board to fit the cover of the journal. I covered one side at a time, letting both dry for about a total of 2 hours.To ensure that the glue binded well, I stacked about 10 pounds worth of weight on it each time.

After the covers were dry, I sealed the surface of the clippings with Mod-Podge (gloss-luster). After that I touched up the places that needed a little more finish, and wahla. I plan on filling it with moments of significance, ideas, clippings and what not. It will be a collage of thoughts and other forms of artistic throw up if you will.
