Most recently, I've been contemplating what to bring to the Crate Blog as part of an ongoing monthly series since with each new release, there's turn over in subject matter. Because the common, prolific request has been for me to contribute mini albums when time allows, I opted to take on the task of creating one full mini album a month. So, with each brand new month, at the Crate Paper blog, a new mini album will be available for the viewing and in conjunction with the album will be a quick, readily doable tutorial. The tutorials themselves will be on the small side since a lot of the emphasis and focus is that of the album instead of the construction process. The primary reason being for this is because typically, a full mini album tutorial (at least for me) is often capable of taking up more space than is practically available via an individual post. To save on space then, I'm miniaturizing the tutorials into bite size pieces for easier consumption..if I should even reference it as that.
The first album in line is already finished - it's emphasis is of course, Farmhouse. Considering that school starts in less than four weeks for me, I thought, "Why not jump into Fall already?" I could sure use a cooling down after this latest hot & humid Summer..though I'd be more than willing to skip the books! Laugh. In any event, I'm showing snippets of the album today - it'll post in it's entirety next week on the Crate Blog.
I simply can't wait to share the rest of the album with you, but it'll have to wait 'til later! It's been a week's worth of creative energy, so expect the usual details!
Not quite sure what the rest of you have planned for the weekend, but it's "art festival" time for those of us in the Twin Cities. We've two of the largest outdoor festivals this weekend, including the Uptown Art Show! I'll not be attending the Uptown, though I have plans to visit it's "neighboring show", Powderhorn Art Show. A long time has past since I last attended an art event, so I'm looking forward to catching up with the Minnesota art scene. Should be adventuresome and fun..have a great weekend you guys! Catch up with you Monday!
