Some technqiues that i have used is used the etching needle and made etchings. I have used this on 2 pages so far; and i think this technique is great and always turns out looking different and unique everytime; as the amount of ink and the way that i etch my lines on. I sometimes like it how it comes out blotchy because it makes it look vintagy and old. This is an example of an etching in an artist book.

Also; i have used the sewing machine to put some pieces together on the page. I was very excited as i was using the sewing machine for the first time! I never thought it was that easy and it was quite easy to control as well. I stitched the edges of the material to make it stay together with the paper. I also stiched the etching of Prague onto the page aswell. I think the small stitching marks make it look quite vintagy and i like the effect. An example of stitching on paper is below.

Another technique i used the spray bottle to put some colour and to make it look liek it had blasted with colour. I think this effect makes it have more oclour than usual; as most of my other pages have simple colours. Here is an example how it can make a page look full of colour.
