At the risk of being redundant, here are a few more of my recent pages.
I was at the store yesterday, and Shelby came by while I was binding all these mini-journals and she snapped this photo of me, which I love because of the journals tossed on the counter in the foreground, and hate because I look sooooo fat.
I went a bit obsessive this week painting and stenciling and stitching journal pages. I had intended to put them into a single journal, but Melissa came up with the idea of using each one to create a mini-journal containing only a few pages, which could then be used to write an little story or poem or other personal note and give as a gift. Ialways knew she was a genius!
These are all based on the online class conducted by Mary Ann Moss at Dispatch From LA. Check her out if you haven't already!
Here are a bunch of photos of individual pages and spreads, before assembling into journals.
(this one shows what it will look like with the pages inside; I will wrap the plain paper signatures in either a map, sheet music, or other printed page)
Believe it or not, this is only a small fraction of the pages I did. I completed 15 spreads, front and back. That's 30 spreads, or 60 individual pages! Yes, it's okay if you question my sanity. ;-)
Here are a couple of finished pages in my gigantic art journal. this baby is 12 x 24 and it's FUN to have that much room to work. It started as a bunch of pages with stencil and spray paint experiments, and I've been adding collage, more stenciling, rubber stamping, paint, pastels, and writing to turn them into meaningful pages for me.
This page is devoted to my beautiful, fantastic daughter!
