Wouldn't that be cool?
I may get to do just that. We will see. St. Petersburg is a place of my dreams that is for sure.
So today I reanimated one of my old Russian dictionaries. I probably have 20 of them. It was okay to dedicate one to the fires of art, yes?
I started by making some "water" out of a reanimated security envelope. The insides of these are crazy cool.
If you want to use a lot of the real estate of these, use a heat gun to neatly undo the seals where it is stuck together. Just heat them up and the glue will let go. Then cut it up as needed. I just needed a little stripe.
I punched squares from my Russian dictionary and rounded their corners. I sponged them with brown ink to age them.
Then I stamped little fishies from the Stampin' Up! Just Beachy set and colored them with gel pens.
I outlined them in white to pop them off the page a bit.
I added some of the new dotty Stampin' Up! ribbon and voila - quick and easy double Reanimation.
Lots of paper in the world. Use it, don't buy it! :)
