TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 8 - GATE FOLD FOLIO PAGE A gate fold is a paper with the two sides folded into the centre, so that when you open them like opening a double door, the larger portion is revealed underneath. I am grateful to Sara-Lee Armstrong for this design, which I saw on…
TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 7 - A FLORAL PAGE As I mentioned before, I am not following a particular schedule with this project, but just flipping through the prepared signatures and deciding to work on one, whatever order they are in. This page is also in the second signature. It is the third one…
TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 6 - FROM DISASTER IN PINK TO IN THE PINK In mixed media, there is no such thing as a mistake. There are only more layers! Background Yesterday I began work on the outside of the wings of the centrefold typewriter image in the second signature. I made a mistake…
TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 5 - TRANSPARENCIES A way to add more interest to an album is to introduce transparent pages or embellishments. Luise Heinzl frequently does this. I was able to print on acetate with my old laser printer but wasn't sure how it would work out on the new one. I am…
TYPEWRITER ALBUM PART 4 - BEGINNING WORK ON THE PAGES Another very fruitful session in the studio this afternoon. I began working on the pages for the album. I am not following any particular order but just going with the creative flow. Signature 1 - blue text page The blue text printout has…

I successfully printed out all the sheets on my new printer and am very pleased with the result. The pages consist of printables of page tabs, pockets, belly bands, journaling cards etc.…
MASTERBOARD BOOK - VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT, AND PRINTER NEWS Some more pages for my masterboard book, this time using images from the Voynich Manuscript, but first, I was unhappy with one of my earlier pages: This was the one with the financial documents and Payne's grey water. It looked messy and dull and I…
UV RESIN - SMALL CIRCULAR DIGITALS Shoshi is resinating with a new art form! I've done a bit of UV resin work with a small starter kit, but the lamp proved rather inadequate. I have now bought a new one which is much better. Some time ago I downloaded some digitals from Dragana…
A TINY FOLIO FROM A BISCUIT PACKET I think this is the first time I have ever produced an album or folio in a single day! I spent all afternoon and most of the evening yesterday, working on this project, and it was a joy to produce. It is very small, measuring about…
