Of course, print your poem, passage of writing, and etc. to the page before you attempt to antique it.)1/4 cup of hot, black coffee. (Although I’ve only used coffee, I’m sure tea would work.)A teaspoon or so of instant coffee. How To Do It 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. What To Do With It Frame your antiqued poem or passage for a great-looking piece of cheap art; or use it to make your sweetie a heart-felt Valentine.

Привет ещё раз!) Как же я рада, что наконец таки собралась и сделала микс-медийный блокнот с разделителями. Я очень люблю краски, очень люблю с ними эксперементировать.

В блокноте 4 разделителя, на форзацах есть карманы для разных бумажек/записочек. Использовала краски, спреи и пудры от Lindy's Stamp Gang и Luminarte.

Девочки, все фото кликабельны, нажимайте и рассматривайте в большом размере) Обложка блокнота(и не только) очень красиво переливается.

If you're starting your final year at school or college and want to study art and design at uni, then no doubt you will already be thinking about preparing your portfolio. So, what are the key things to keep in mind and how do you crack the formula for a winning portfolio? It all depends on what you want to study. An animation student may spend all year on a 30-second film, whereas a fine artist will have an array of work, from sketches and paintings to sculptures and text-based pieces. But every portfolio is trying to do the same thing – secure your place on that perfect course. After you've narrowed down the courses and institutions you'd like to study at, the next step is to begin thinking about how to display your work for submission.

It's an insight into your work intended to demonstrate your capabilities and personal style. Depending on the university, a portfolio is either sent off prior to interview or is to be brought along with you. Portfolio Review Requirements | College of Fine Arts.
