All is Full of Love

"Peanut Butter Cup Heart" by Bob Fornal

Todays post is all about love and hearts, oooooo. I have been doodling and cutting out hearts over the last week and decided I would like to share some of them with you all.

And between this little paper project I'm working on and listening to Bjork's "All is Full of Love", I began to think how great it has been sharing the love with all of you my new and oldish blog friends. So who would like to join me in a show of hearts? I'll make and photo the hearts I'm working on and if you would like you could make your own and email the image and I'll do a feature on you here, and maybe set a flickr group. If you want to take part, it can be anything heart related that you have made, art work, photograph, jewellery, paper craft, felt anything goes! Just drop me an email with you image or post it on your blog and let me know so that I can link to you. So let the Global Love Spread x

paper making

Here is how I made the textured paper for the paper flowers:

1. cut a5 sizes pieces of collected papers

2. Chose interesting textured papers and tear, I chose a natural fiber paper and my favorite- doillies.

3. Lay the pieces of torn or cut textured paper onto your A5 collected papers and cover in PVA glue. I found that they dry over night.

I have layered about 20 of these sheets along with newsprint, tracing paper, tissue paper and news print sheets all cut to A5 or A6 size and sewn the tops together and made my own sketch book. I'll photograph it tonight and get it up soon.
