BVCG November Galleria - Slip Knot Booklet - One Liners

Slip Knot - One Liners
Size: 6"w x 4.5"h x  3/4" thk

Our Galleria topic for November 2023 is "One Liners"... since one liners don't take up much room... I decided to do a bunch of them and create a booklet.

On Fabriano 1264 Mixed Media pape, sprinkling the paper with Brusho w/c powders in various colors. Used a pointed nib in Fickle style lettering. When all the pages were done I decided to add a bit of flourish details in the open spaces.

The back and front covers were covered with some of my Brusho background on the Fabriano paper, and I wrote the title on the front with a Zig Writer and shadowed with Kuretake "Gold Mica" ink and a pointed nib.

I used a slip knot style for binding using a blue 4ply waxed linen thread.

Triangle Break Frame - Simplify - Ha Ha

 

Simplify... I'm rolling on the floor laughing... This was not simple... When I don't have continuous lines without breaks it starts to get very confusing... but I'm glad I persevered.
