My cute classmates n instructor Betty!

Step 1: label the album! =) learn to use glossy acid to make the pop up gloss seal on the card board. pic taken when its semi dry.. its not suppose to haf the gluey white look in the middle. haha its suppose to b clear n glossy lah. =)

Step 2: Learn to use gesso to transfer image from a button to fabric. the most high failing rate step. alot of ppl need a few tries to get it right. BUT! me got it right the very 1st time leh! *double proud* Basically dis method onli works on imagines tt are photocopied or ink print.. magazine pics dun reali work. ink jet printed stuff totali dun work.. other than gesso (which is white in colour if wanne attain white paint aft effect) alternatives are to use multi-medium which comes in glossy or matt effects!

Step 3: paint on fabric. its actuali VERY easy.. haha juz normal paintin but on another material. oso design the album with recycled stuffs & of coze DESTRESS everything we had done! my favourite part! hee hee! i love to "dirty" my work! haha!

Step 4: Stitching the album 2gether. tts not a prob to a knittin expert lah! =) *proud*

Step 5: making flowers with ropes! juz bend bend bend bend bend the rope lor.. haha! i think i need to upload a video to show it lah.
