Give a Cheer
This LO was my second attempt at water distressing, and I've come to the conclusion that I just don't like it. I don't think I'll be doing it again -- it's not for me. [Clarification: It's not that I don't like the way it looks so no offense to others who use the technique - it's that I don't like the mess and the lack of control and especially the way the paper handles after it dries. It's too hard to work with, and I don't enjoy it.]
This is for the February Monochrome Challenge Week 3 - Red. The twist was 'Poetry,' and the photo is of some of my poetry books: Poems of Keats, Yeats, Frost, Browning, Leaves of Grass, the Divine Comedy, the Odyssey, the Aeneid, etc.
Journaling: Sept. '09 - I am 3/4 of the way through the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written. This month I read The Rights of Man by Thomas Paine and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. I love the look, feel, and smell of these books, and they comprise one of my most precious possessions. I photographed some of my poetry titles for the 'Poem' mini in POD.
I doodled the gold border on the bg cs. The large red polka dot piece and the music pp mat are water distressed. The book hinges are grungeboard painted with Espresso paint. I actually masked a flourish on the dot pp with a TH mask and Fired Brick, but I ended up covering most of it.
Thanks for spreading positivity!
