Mandy's Days 2 & 3

 

Day 2

Here I've used one of my transparency pages.

These are older Hambly Screen Print transparencies.

 (So very difficult to photograph without reflections but I've kinda managed! )

 Day 3

You can see Day 1's page in the background which is fabulous...

 Here's how the two pages (day 2 &3) work together back to back.

A single layer of acetate...

   

I printed and cut matching sized photos to go back and front on the acetate.

The same with the black chalkboard journal block with I cut in half. 

I had two full sized journal blocks - so that worked well.

Caution!! Made the mistake here of having 'upside down' photos when the page was

flipped over... these pics need to be up the other way!

Adding a clear piece of acetate on the underside of the Hambly Screen Print,

so the sequins could be trapped inside to  become a 'shaker' page. 

I placed the sequins in between the two pages before any sewing -

 the static electricity held them in place well enough.

(yep these photos still need to be turned up the other way- hadnt realised at this stage yet either!)

Sewing two photos (top and underneath) in place stops the sequins falling and becoming trapped behind the photos.  And repeated with the other two sets, 

then sewed around the outside edges of the page.

 (The gold light on Paige's face is from the sewing machine light reflecting down)

 Day's 1 and 2 together...

(now the silver stars are reflecting awfully!)

The sequins look green here, but they are actually pewter grey.

Day 3 

With the photos up the right way!  How after sewing them wrongly??? 

Weeeeell, take a closer look!

You can see I reprinted, inked and stuck a slightly smaller photo on top of the upside down 

ones to keep the sewn edges seen!

And to be honest... it turned out really effective!!  A great mistake in a very good way!
