I’ve all the time preferred taking part in with scissors, paper and glue and we all the time had scrapbooks for Christmas once I was little and a number of the Gloy glue that got here in a glass bottle with a rubber high that needed to be stabbed with a pointy scissor level to get the glue out….well being and security horror!
It was virtually precisely 2 years in the past when my weblog put up seemed like this…………
It was the Wednesday boot sale a couple of weeks in the past and fishing by way of a field of books that one of many home clearance bods had on the bottom by his van I discovered 2 outdated scrapbooks of postcards and cuttings.
One in every of them opened at a web page with a poster and postcards about and by the artist Eric Ravilious. I like his work.
The person solely wished a £1 for the 2 so I purchased them…………………for goodness sake ………….why do I would like another person’s collections?!I simply could not bear the considered them being chucked on a bonfire or in a dustbin.
I took plenty of the postcards out of the scrapbooks and a number of the cuttings however a number of had been water or damp broken, too nicely caught or not topics that me.
For some time I could not resolve what to repair them into, trendy books for scrapbooking have small pages and never a lot of them however then remembered I had a giant watercolour drawing pad, additionally discovered at a boot sale. I collected extra fascinating bits from some outdated books plus a few of my very own outdated postcards and bought some photograph corners for the postcards after which began sticking issues in – identical to 60 years in the past!
Not fairly as random as they was once, as I have been filling pages on a theme.
Apples
and youngsters.
Snow
and farms.
I crammed up one entire e-book and located one other watercolour artwork e-book half worth in The Works, less expensive than books offered for contemporary scrapbooking (which is a bit completely different to what I am doing). Each once in a while my eating desk appears to be like like this…..
I am nonetheless having nice enjoyable with scissors, paper and glue!
Again Tomorrow
