Introduction to the Numbers Glue Book

I was introduced to glue books from Lisa Vollrath's page http://www.lisavollrath.com/articles/ and joined her yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gluebooks/ They are great fun.

The theme at the moment is the numbers 1-10. I keep my images in boxes according to subject (e.g. Animals, Plants, People). I have a box called "Art" and decided to create this glue book only using images from that box.

I find creating these glue books very restful. I recommend it.

You may be interested in the preceeding book - A-Z which can be found at:

Introduction to the Alphabet Glue Book

OK, I created this blog to show off my glue books - not made any yet though! I was introduced to glue books from Lisa Vollrath's page http://www.lisavollrath.com/articles/ and joined her yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gluebooks/ They are great fun.

The theme at the moment is letters of the alphabet. I keep my images in boxes according to subject (e.g. Animals, Plants, People). I have a box called "Art" and decided to create this glue book only using images from that box.

I find creating these glue books very restful. I recommend it.

"A" is at the bottom of the blog and "Z" is at the top.

Z is for Zoo

Y is for Yacht

W is for Window

X is for 10

A bit of a cheat, but there are very few objects beginning with "X" and none of them were in my art box.

V is for Vase

I love the painting on the left.

T is for Teddy

U is for Umbrella

The wedding umbrella - in case of rain
Made of the same fabric as wedding dress and trimmed with Lace, hand embroidered with sequins and pearls.

R is for Rose

S is for Sculpture

O is for Orange

P is for Pot

Kester who made the pots on the right works in my organisation. These are his photos. He makes beautiful pots. I shall be creating a web site for him soon.

M is for Mother

N is for Naked

K is for Knot

L is for Landscape

J is for Jewellery

Cover

Need to read this upside down

This is the first time that I have made multiple posts on my blog. They are shown latest first which means I should really have created the posts the other way around (if you see what I mean). Any way, for this blog only, I suggest you go to the bottom and read the messages upwards.

Page 2

This page grew organically. The mermaid had to be done twice because I ripped her arm off the first time tee hee.

The hair is soya bean ... which I bought for making paper with. I think it works quite well as hair.

We've just been to the seaside which was quite well timed and I have included some shells and a bit of sea weed.

Page 1

Although this is labelled "Page 1" this is the second page I did for the book. I really struggled with ideas. I really liked this picture but felt it needed embellishing to keep in with the spirit of deco books. Paul, my husband, thought of the idea of the fish with bubbles formed from part of the image.

I printed out the bubbles and then used clear thick embossing crystals to make them appear more bubble like. You can't see the effect clearly on this scanned image.

The main image is printed on Ink Jet Overhead Transparency "paper".

The Cover

This cover was created by Puff. Unfortunately, the reduction in size to make it suitable for the web does not do it justice.

The shells at the top show when and where they were collected. I think that is a great idea.

Introduction to this blog

I belong to a Yahoo group which concentrates mainly on deco books. This particular book, "Under the Sea" was created by Puff. I have added a couple of pages to it and it is about to be sent to another 3 members of our group for them to add pages.
