While researching a scrapbooking project recently, Kathie stumbled across the quotes of Brian Andreas. She found them so delightful and they conjured up wonderful imagery that she decided to make an illustrated book featuring them.
Kathie’s up cycled a discarded vintage book to form the base of her album. By adhering layers of pages together she formed sturdy sets of text backgrounds on which to create mixed media illustrations.
Inspired by the mixed media artistry of Christy Tomlinson, Kathie’s used paints, mists, masks, stamps, rub-ons and doodling to create fun backgrounds for her illustrations. Diluted paints and mists allow the beautiful vintage text to show through. The illustrations have been created using pieces of patterned paper from her scrapbooking stash.
