I've finished Craft Barn's latest alpha/dictionary challenge which is the letter I. There is no twist.
Because the altered book I'm using is larger than my scanner, this first photo is of the middle of the spread.
Here the left shows two icebergs that have broken off glaciers.
It also shows my letter "I".
For the right side, I actually got out my stamps and went to town.This is the required definition, and it is how I tried to depict it in pictures.
Many who know me know I'm not especially good with stamps. But I've gotten a bit bolder
and decided to take the plunge. As global warming increases, I suspect we'll see more of these icebergs breaking away from parent glaciers in the near future.
Materials I used for this two page spread include a painted deli paper background, three iceberg images from three different travel magazines, the definition and letters from my Merriam-Webster dictionary, and stamped letters using very old pigment ink that I wasn't sure had enough ink for one letter much less seven. All this was created in my dictionary dedicated altered book.Thank you for joining me at both the Craft Barn and AEDM today.
This is Day 14 of AEDM.

Wonderful spread--I can feel the cold from here. Such amazing images you have used Elizabeth

Gorgeous spread, it looks soooo cold there! Your stamping turned out really good. Have a fine day, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrr that is a great idea for the challenge. Love your pics. xxx
ReplyDeleteThis is a "cool' page. I have never seen any huge icebergs floating in the ocean, which I bet is a really quite the sight, as long as your not a ship in the night. Hope your new week is a good one. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteNice pages. I like the orange contrast against the blue.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, these pages make me feel just too cold! Yikes! But very powerful and you sure got the mood.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, Elizabeth!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Makes me shiver, but I like the icy look.
ReplyDeleteFreezing icy images, the pages are perfect for your iceberg theme. I have to say, your stamping of the vertical word is very good!
ReplyDeleteChilly looking pages in one way but I am warmed by this too! I love your stamping and I love seeing those birds - they are clearly very happy with the weather! Hugs, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteAwesome icy scenes, , the ice bergs look amazing, yet the birds don't seem at all concerned that it must freezing cold.
ReplyDeleteNature sure is wonderful.
