Wanderlust Kate Crane Part 1

I fnally got around to starting the actual lessons on the Wanderlust course, not all have appealed to me so I am picking out my favourites to do. Going right back to the beginning of the year { I am so far behind lol} I chose to do the Kate Crane class. 

Before the main lesson we had to fill some pages with mark making, I had done this many years ago, but it is always handy to have a collection of scribbles and marks and patterns that can be used in other projects. 

I had some very very old sketchbooks that I had taken apart, thus giving me a huge pile of paper. Not really good enough to do good drawings on, but ideal for quick sketches and for mark making exercises. From some of these I made some tiny signatures, the pages are only 10 cm by 14cm. 

I compiled 7 signatures each with 4 sheets, giving me lots of little pages. I have bound them into a piece of canvas, whch I painted. 


Front cover:

Front and back covers, showing the stitching in the spine where the pages are attached. 


Here you can see I have lots of pages and I wil fill them all over time with patterns and ideas for use on bigger pages. 


Here are a couple of the pages done along with Kates exercises. 


Not a new technique for me, but nevertheless I did enjoy doing the pages. Sometimes it is good to revisit old techniques.
