This post is about my progress in the
Altered Book course being run (free of charge) by
the very generous Elizabeth from her blog
This lesson was all about
'Elements of Design'
which Elizabeth explored in great detail.
The elements in question are
Line
Form
Shape
Space
Texture
Colour
In the double spread in my book (above) I hope I've
covered some of the elements as follows:
Line - in the tissue pattern paper on the first page
Form / Shape - I tried to create a 3D effect on the second page
with the girls by overlapping the images and colouring the front
one darker than the others making them fade out into the background.
Texture - the crinkles in the pattern tissue paper
which you can see in the above photo.
I highlighted them by rubbing metallic
paste over the page.
Space - well, there's plenty of that - the eyes can
positively have a good long sleep on these pages - lol.
Colour - as this is such a 'broad category' Elizabeth has
devoted an entire lesson to it and that lesson is already
on Elizabeth's blog - I'd better get a move on!
Thanks for looking :)

Ooh, I love this page Sherry. Seems like a really interesting and valuable course.
I am enjoying your altered book posts very much, Sherry, and if I though there was even the slightest chance I would manage to follow along, I would. I have been checking out some of the lessons and am sure we all could benefit for working through them.
It looks like you're having fun with it!
I love your altered book pages Sherry, I especially like the creases in the paper and the lovely colours you have used x
Great altered pages.
Great to highlight the creases, your pages look amazing and it sounds like a good course on journalling.

I love the texture that tissue patterns add to a design. Awesome, Sherry!
i love your book pages
I really appreciate the coloring of the first model to bring her out in a 3-D form, great job. Of course the creases in the tissue paper are a great texture! Loving the pages! waving hi from the hills of North Carolina :)
Now this altered book page really captures my attention. I love patterns and sewing so this is super. How nice to be challenging yourself with new possibilities SSD. Alter Away...

I think your pages are coming along fab - what a fun course! Love the crinkles on the page xx
Great spread Sherry, the whole thing flows beautifully and you have covered each section well. I also particularly like the fact that you have managed to include the work "Line" in your page. Your pages are always so delicate and peaceful.
Always love your pages Sherry, wish I had some old patterns to use like you have, and Tim on his tag this month - have you done one yet? I've gone Dress Form Bonkers yet again today! BJ

Hi Sherry. Popped over from Yvonnes blog. The altered book looks amazing.

Guess I should "get a move on," too. I apologize for being so late visiting, but with company here last week, I simply had no computer time.
I was blown away by these two pages. You have captured the essence of the lesson, and I am very, very impressed. Everything was so well done, so well thought out, and followed your theme perfectly. What a great example of ALL the design elements!!
It looks wonderful. I think you have definitely achieved all of those things, but most importantly it looks so good as a whole. Great work!
Love the creases in the background and the way the ladies fade away! Great page! x
Oh Sherry, You most probably know how much I love this page!! Love the crinkles and how your girl 'pops'!! Looks like a really interesting course.

I won't pretend I have a clue about the elements of design Sherry, but I can see you've captured the elements in this page. Well done. What a worthwhile course and free of charge too! :)xx
Glad I didn,t see the tutorials before I tried making mine. Your doing a fab job here. Having loads of trouble blogging at the moment my connection is very intermittent. Hugs Mrs A.
