Try Something New
This week the challenge to everyone is to “try something new”. That is completely open to your interpretation – it could be a new technique, a new medium or even a new colour. Just play and have fun with one. The sample above is the front cover of a fabric altered board book that I did for the challenge. The rest of the book is on my blog. Enjoy your week everyone!

Here is my complete board book, if anyone would like to see it. Such fun to do!

I love your book! I’ve never tried to create an altered book — though I plan to. This is the first piece I’ve ever actually created without a computer-generated mock-up. (It’s also the first time I’ve mixed acrylics.) Thanks for getting me to stretch.

I have been inspired by so many artists’ journal pages and wanted to try this medium for some time now, so I really had fun with this challenge. You can see my entry at http://amusingmuses2.blogspot.com

Great book! I love fabric books and keep planning to make one of my own. But, as this is my first entry for Mixed Media Monday, I choose to do a digital collage. My goal was to see if I could build a complete collage digitally. I think it came out pretty cool. Please check it out at http://www.venitahawkins.com/blog. Have a great week!

Wonderful Theme.
Here is my creation with a new collage sheet.
Thanks for looking.

Never in a month of Mondays could I hope to emulate or achieve the standard of entries on here – just wonderful.
This is my first entry – just getting back into crafting after and enforced ‘rest’ so really need the practice. Hope to do better next Monday
