Here there be fairies...

This is another collaborative book I'm involved in.  This time we used some chipboard frame pages we obtained through Jenny Crossley. 

I changed tack a few times with these pages - they went from plain chipboard, to having scrunched tissue paper glued to them.  Then I painted them cream.  Then I changed my mind and used some of the paint techniques I learned from Michael DeMeng.  The chicken wire was always going to be included, and then I found some photos of when we last visited the William Rickets Sanctuary in the Dandenongs. 'Fairies!' I thought, and dug out some collage sheets from Lisa's Altered Art.  A quick trip to my local florist supply place, and I had some ivy and not long after that the pages were done!

Want to see a picture of the completed page?

And here's a close up of the words:

I have received some of the other girls' pages, and some of them a quite chunky (especially Liz's page LOL).  I look forward to tackling the challenging task of binding this baby! Of course, I'll blog about it when I'm done.
