DESIGN OF THE DAY....... JULES EICKMEIER

Today we are sharing some amazing designs by

JULES EICKMEIER





ALTERED BOOK

I covered a Basically Bare 12x12 D ring album with textured card stock
and a cream colored large hole netting.  I printed the background
paper and the image of the can can dancer out onto Studio 71 heavy

weight Canvas and used Stickles (applied with a brush), Liquid Pearls
and soft tipped colored pencils to enhance the colors and add texture.
I sealed the canvas with a clear acrylic spray.   I trimmed the paper
print out in lace, added the can can girl, ribbons and flowers.



The last image is the linside badk page of the album cover.  I printed
the paper onto card stock, used pencils and Stickles, glued the ribbon
around the paper and added the tiny flowers and bows at the two
outward edges.


To get to know Jules we asked her the following questions

BESIDES GECKO GALZ PRODUCTS WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO UES?

In addition to the wonderful Gecko Galz products, I love working with the paints and stencils from Art Anthology.  I love fabric as well and try to incorporate it into many of my projects.  Printing on canvas is my current love as you can probably tell. 



CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOUR STYLE IS?

My style can best be described at eclectic: a bit of vintage, throw in some shabby chic and a splash of this and that.
