I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. We had a really fun weekend but it was pretty busy because my husband took a 4 day photography workshop (virtual) and for his assignment he decided my bookbinding craft would make the perfect subject. And, because he would be sharing the photos with the other participants I knew I had to somewhat organize it so that things I didn’t want shown would be out of sight, etc.
He also wanted me to go through the process of making one entire journal. I typically make several journals of the same style at once so I’m used to more assembly line work but this was fun to just focus on one journal.
For some of the shots he was trying different light effects and that was a bit hard as we were working at night and lower lights and I’m thinking, I can’t see what I’m doing. Haha… In the end it was so much fun and once he’s worked on some more of his pictures and maybe we shoot a few more, then I’ll have to share so you can see some of what I get up to in the studio.
This picture is mine but it’s of the table I sit at when I’m making most of a journal. I have another large table where I cut papers, press the journals, etc. In case you are wondering, I do usually keep this table covered with some blank paper. I do some off stamping on there, put my brayer on it if I’m working on gel printing, etc. So it starts to get messy quickly but once it’s all used up, I just change it out.
You know what would be dreamy? If one day I could be In Her Studio. Anyway, let me know how your weekend was and if were working on any special projects or enjoying some good reads.
Tonight, I’m staring Transitional Spaces with Eric Scott: https://ericscottart.com/online-workshops
I’ll be using the same desk that I use for work. Just need to change my mindset
I am glad that you are slowing down😠one journal at a time
You’ll have to share photos that your husband plans to share as his assignment! I’d love a look at your workspace. 🙂 Just kidding – well, not of the workspace but about having to share a photo.
We had a good weekend – didn’t do much, which was perfectly fine with me.
How fun! That was very nice of you to let him photograph the process of you making a journal. It’s good practice for him and fun for you too as you did something you enjoyed. 🙂
We had a nice weekend. It was relatively productive once we got over that weird feeling of realizing we had no dance rehearsals to worry about Saturday afternoon. It’s been a part of our weekend routine for so long . . .
I hope you have a great week, Iliana!
