So I just did a group of postcards. I had fun drawing little doodles on fabric with Micron Markers. We had a family field trip over to Utrecht<\/a> to buy art supplies for Peter’s summer classes. Surprise- look what I found! These fantastic markers were on sale, only .99 and in such beautiful colors- So much for Peter’s art supplies!<\/p>\n

\"markers\"<\/p>\n

Well, the new markers inspired this little project that I did today. I was thinking it would be fun to make myself a sketchbook with cloth pages instead of paper. Then, I could snip out little drawings when I wanted to do the applique collage postcards or atc’s. I made myself 2 piles of fabrics and put sheets of freezer paper between each layer of fabric. I machine sewed an edge and then sliced them into sketchbook sized pieces. I’ve ended up with a total of 5, so I am probably set for life.<\/p>\n

\"pads\"<\/p>\n

The fabric “sketchbooks” are way too floopy to use, so I decided they needed some kind of support structure. I made a little portfolio cover to put them in. Here are all the parts layed out. The colors in this photo are accurate- the next photos are sort of washed out. You can see the cardboard covers and spine on the right of the photo.<\/p>\n

Here is the front- it has a pocket for my pens and pencil-<\/p>\n

and the back- it closes with a wrap around tie-<\/p>\n

\"back\"<\/p>\n

here are some pages. You can see the layers of freezer paper. This pad has lots of colors, the other side is mostly white. The 2 pads are held in place with bulldog clips.<\/p>\n

and I put a strip of fabric in the back so my little moleskin can have a place too.<\/p>\n

I did this using the same technique that I used on this<\/a> project- wonder-under onto cardboard. I am still amazed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
