V and paper tissues

March 21, 2010 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

mail art

V has a little habit of grabbing tissues from the tissue box and then shredding them, leaving a paper trail where ever she may go afterwards. The funny thing is that she only grabs one tissue. The first time she did this was a couple of months ago. She was sitting on my bed and …

Thinking about potty training

I ordered a little potty from Amazon today. V is 10 months old but I’ve been thinking about getting her started for several weeks already. She understand me when I ask her to pee when I’m changing her diaper, so why can’t I get her to pee in a cute little pot? I ordered the …

On the hunt for fabric

March 19, 2010 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

Made by hand

Now that I’ve started sewing and am playing around with ideas for projects, I’ve been on the hunt for beautiful fabrics. Mostly drawn to interesting patterned fabric. But what is a good price? Since I’m on a budget, how much is too much? Where should I draw the line on cost? One friend says she …

My first sewing project – a 12″ pillow case

March 15, 2010 By //  by Margarete Miller Leave a Comment

Paper collage

I took an introductory 1-day class for getting familiar with my new Baby Lock sewing machine. It was good. In addition to the basics of spinning a bobbin and threading the needle, I learned how to sew a straight stitch and played around with fancy stitching options on my machine. Our first project was to …

My friend L is having a baby in July and asked me to write her a list of things she should sign up for when she makes her registry. I made a list of needs and wants.

The Mars passport gluebook

I typically work on several gluebooks simultaneously. I like the distraction of moving between several projects. That way I don’t get bored with what I am working on. Last year I was in a small bookshop when I came across some small notebooks created by a company called The Unemployed Philosophers Guild. They have awesome “passport” …

What’s a gluebook, anyway?

I make a lot of collage art and put them in things like gluebook. But what is a gluebook exactly? There isn’t a definitive answer, but it’s not a difficult idea to wrap your head around. A gluebook is a “book” where you glue things (like a collage) in. The following are some examples: A …

Inspirational gluebook artists – Part 1

I’m sometimes asked who inspires me. I have a list of people whose work in collage art, particularly vintage collage art, really inspire me. The first person I want to mention, and probably the person who has most influenced my love of collaging vintage papers, is Mary Green. Who is Mary Green? I discovered Mary’s …

  • Playing with old envelopes this morning. Too bad this postmark isn't clearer. I'm guessing it says 1884. .

  • Here's what I came up with. I've got two larger colorful images on both pages and several background papers that I've cut or torn down to the needed size. All original papers from the 1890s to the 1920s. The only non-original thing is the washi tape to reinforce the gutter of the book pages. .

  • What's on my desk today. It might stay like this for 48 hours at least. Often, with the very old original pieces, it takes a while before it all comes together. I have to place and arrange and swap and shift until it's just right. The time it takes is part of the whole process.
