FRUSTRATION

Gah...ok so I decide on the art work...I print on a laser printer the artwork onto colored cardstock...then I spend the time cutting it out...and my bones now hurt on my fingers...but the thing I am complaining about...

You bend the paper into a fold and the damn photo pops off...you know the color...and nicks occur...and how the  hell do you embellish? I bought TONS of supplies nothing is working...

I sat and created little beaded wired things to hang...AND IT RUBS OFF THE DAMN ARTWORK...GAH...this is a DISASTER...Mine are going to look horrible...ok, ok, they are my first ones, but my gawd what the hell am I doing wrong???? I hate it! This may be the ONLY damn fat book I ever do...even though I signed up for the King Arthur one...I may back out of it...and call it a day... this just may not be my medium.

I know I am too damn picky...I am just so disappointed in the way mine are turning out and I have a deadline LOOMING! GAH

I have a dumb question...what on earth is a fat book?

[Gypsy]

Spring!
Exactly what I am asking! Giggle
It is a bunch of different artists who sign up for a book, each person creates a double sided page, 4x4, with artwork and embellishment.

I have never actually seen one...so the fear is chomping my butt right now...I created 40 double sided pages for the Nightmare before Christmas book I am in...and I don't like it. So I have done a whole OTHER double sided page (4x4) and will be embellishing it tomorrow when I go back to get more supplies!

There are 39 other artists making these pages, the hostess then puts them all together some how in a book...so you get a book with 40 pages double sided, with a lot of different peoples styles and such!

So I have really no idea if I have done it right, what kind of embellishment other people use, how ellaborate the embellishment is...because I over do things...I have no idea if I have done it right!

But it is all for artistic growth! Rolling eyes...giggle
AND thanks for asking!
