It's a special video today, as all the voters on facebook told me to go ahead and share a not traditional Journal on Monday. I started a big project today and i'm thrilled to share the start of the process with you.
What looks like not much so far, took me all afternoon... And that covers only phase 1: the base of the sketchbook. In a near future i will be sharing phase 2: dressing up the base, phase 3: dessing up the cover, phase 4: filling the pockets, phase 5... Am i scaring you yet?? ;)))
Coucou les doux JoMeurs!
C'est une vidéo spéciale aujourd'hui, puisque tous les votes sur facebook était en faveur d'un partage d'une vidéo hors série. J'ai entamé ce gros projet aujourd'hui et je suis sur les charbons ardents de partager le début du processus avec vous.
Ce qui ne semble pas être grand chose m'aura pris toute l'après-midi... Et ça, ce n'est que pour la phase 1: la base du carnet. Dans un futur proche, je partagerai phase 2: l'habillage de la base, phase 3: habillage de la couverture, phase 4: remplissage des pochettes, phase 5... Je vous fais peur hein oui?? ;)))
I will add some photos tomorrow Tuesday, meanwhile, enjoy the video.
Je rajouterai des photos demain mardi, en attendant, voici déjà la vidéo.

RépondreSupprimerI can't wait to see more of your sketchbook project. I had so much fun doing one for last summers tour. I hope you have a really enjoyable time doing yours.x
RépondreSupprimerYou've made a lot of progress already. Love it so far. I'd love to know how you burned the holes in the paper. I can't imagine being able to burn holes as small as you've done.
RépondreSupprimerWow this is amazing - thank you for sharing how you totally transformed and made extra pages for this fabulous book. Can't wait to see what comes next
RépondreSupprimerLove how you have everything pre-inked - and burned, how cool!! - a brilliant re-working of the book, and I can't wait to see what you do next!
