Welcome to another episode of Books, Books, Books - and today we're doing some storytelling. I often talk about how the people in the photos I'm working with tell me stories as I'm creating with them... Today you'll hear the stories which emerged as I was building the collages in this spread, as well as getting an insight into how that creative process happens.

Im glad im not the only one who "hears" stories in the photos. I love this spread. The words just make it just a bit more spellbinding

Magnificent! Loved the story! You really must continue it! I would love to know whatever became of Gretchen, what dark path she followed... Thank you ever so much for sharing your process and your journey, it is such a delight to follow along. 💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏

I fear she may have come to a sticky end... I'll see if she emerges in any future pages! So happy that you are enjoying the videos - it's a pleasure to have your company on this crafty journey.

That's great to hear - thank you so much!

Yes, I also create stories for the photos I use that guide the stories behind my collage choices. It helps to establish a purpose for the page assemblage and is fun! These are wonderful pages.

@w0rdsandp1ctures Ай бұрын

Happy you enjoyed it... One of the great joys for me is that it never feels as though it's me telling the story, but rather me being told the story as I'm working - so I get to go on the story adventure as it emerges on the page. Great fun, as you say. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

Beautiful Work and fascinating narration! My mother was a chemistry major in the US in the early 40s. There were only four chemistry majors in her graduating class. I’ve always been so proud of her because of that. You have given me the idea to do a similar page for my mom! Thank you for the inspiration!

@w0rdsandp1ctures 24 күн бұрын

Oh my goodness... she must have been a remarkable woman. Thank you so much for sharing that, and yes, a page celebrating her achievement would be a wonderful way to honour what she accomplished. So happy you enjoyed the video.

Hello Alison! This quote by Sir Walter Scott came to mind after hearing your story about Gretchen… “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” It’s amazing how your mind works spinning creative tales.. I’ll look forward to the other one you mentioned was in this large journal… and… I’ll have to give story telling a try sometime when I’m using some of Tim’s vintage items & quotes. I am intrigued by those old photos and who those people were although taken aback that so many of the faces are scowling/sad/numb. Love your layout and the vintage vibe - love your violet stamp set… Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration. Have a wonderful week! 🙂

Thank you so much, Sue - I love reading your comments. Great spin-off to Scott - and yes, I think it would be best to avoid any webs of Gretchen's weaving! So happy you enjoyed the storytelling offering - and hope you are having a lovely week.

Loved hearing your story Alison - it resonated with me for two reasons. One I'm reading Lessons in Chemistry so feel like we are reading Gretchen's story. Secondly I came across a copy of Culpepers Herbal yesterday in a charity shop. My idea was to cut out the gorgeous drawings but hubby was horrified that I would do such a thing so I'm now photocopying them and ageing the paper which is much better and I'm glad I'm not going to cut it up. I've used it today with some of your Rosemary stamps - I'll tag you in Insta where I am the Welsh Crafter.

@w0rdsandp1ctures Ай бұрын

Oooh, I've just finished Lessons in Chemistry about a week ago... such a great book! And how lovely to find a Culpeper's. Mine is a facsimile by the Folio publishing house, so I can't possibly cut that up, but copying and using it is definitely a good way to go. So happy you enjoyed Gretchen's story, and I'm looking forward to seeing the Rosemary creation (and yes, I've worked out fionawhitehead8240 and the Welsh Crafter are the same person!).
