Back to work tomorrow though, the office was closed today for the holiday. It was very nice to have a three day weekend. And a four day work week will be nice as well. I have not even peeped at my work blackberry so I hope I do not have all kinds of craziness to deal with when I get back.
And here as promised is what I have so far for the e-course Color As A Verb. I have completed the journal she shows you how to make. I thought about doing it differently but wanted to be genuine to the class so I did make it following her directions with one minor difference, I like to start my thread on the outside not inside.
Here are the signatures which are cut from Bristol Smooth paper, this will be the first time I have used this paper.
She makes the journal out of a composition notebook, so I recycled one that had writing exercises in it originally.
Pretty scrapbook paper to cover the insides.
Plain but pretty scrapbook paper for the back inside. :D
And she has you make a copic marker swatch book. I used the left over Bristol Papers where I made the signatures. I also used the leftover pretty scrapbook paper. I did not think I would get it done ever because I have 80 something markers. But it really went faster than I thought. And glad I did it, it is a great color reference.

TADA, and hopefully soon I will have some pretty stuff on the inside! :D
Nice start! I love the pretty papers to jazz it up. Obviously you will be using your copic markers, too. Can hardly wait for the next peek. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do hope to not disappoint, I have not gotten to work in it tonight but I hope to soon! The next lesson is to practice color which I need to do and then we do a quote for the first thing in our journal, AND omg I am so addicted to quotes that I cannot pick one out :S I am having the hardest time lol
ReplyDeleteOh, this looks like a fun project. Love your little copic journal.
