Glue book with me: Blue-footed Birds

Picked out some magazine images to make another glue book spread, August 2025 for a blue-footed birds page (Copyright H. Andersson)

After creating the (probably childless) Citrus Cat Lady in my square glue book, I’m continuing on with another spread. Let’s call it the blue-footed bird page for now. Here it is:

To be perfectly honest with you, I did not have a grand plan when I started, but I do think it came together rather nicely in the end. Take a look and let me know what you think:

I try to encourage you to get started with glue booking too, and to not be affraid of messing up images or even your notebook. If you never start you will not improve, not learn and never experience the joy of gluing images together. And most people who try it can attest to the fact that it is really fun and enjoyable to do this.

Start and you’ll see for yourself: to cut and paste magazine images, it’s magical…

Work in progress:

Love the negative space of the birds already cut out.
