Music Fat Book

This is the Fat Book page I've created for my ScrapGoods swap. Instead of choosing a particular person or type of music, I chose to show two ways to enjoy the music - through an iPod & a CD.

I had fun making the iPod out of black foam board brads and a plastic slide mount. I downloaded pictures of the screen and controls and printed them out & attached them to the iPod. I hope everyone enjoys their personal iPod!!

I was able to use several different brad & charm letters to form the word 'MUSIC' on the edge of the treble clef. The treble clef was cut from specialty paper. I decorated the iPod with a bead dangle.

I have to finish the back with my explanation of what I did & then get them sent off to the hostess - but I'll wait awhile for that..they aren't due until Auguse ;-)

Fat Book

I joined a Fat Book swap at my LSS last spring. The theme was the letter "J." We each created our own cover and 12 identical pages - one for each participant. This is my cover: I wrapped gold embroidery thread around a letter "J" I made out of cardboard. I put "jewels" and other J items on the cover.




I chose Jellyfish & Jewels as my page. I covered the 6x6 chipboard with a piece of blue cellophane, then some yummy handmade paper with wonderful fiber in it and covered that with another piece of blue cellophane. The jellyfish bodies are pieces of glass (flat on one side & rounded on the other); the tentacles are beaded fringe. I attached a treasure chest filled with pearls & gold seed beads. The diver is an embossed stamp image on gray paper. The floor of the sea is torn sandpaper. There are real shells and other embellishments on the page.



This is a page done by another participant - she chose Junk as her page theme.



This participant chose Jumping Jack as her page theme. The Jumping Jack has movable arms & legs.


Now, why did I put this here?? Because I've joined an online Fat Book swap with my aMUSEme group. The book theme is Childhood Amusements...I have some ideas, but nothing has jelled yet, so I can't share with you what my page theme will be.
