Journal Book

I have started to embellish my journal pages for the workshop with Kiwi Carole.
The page at the top is a birthday card that I received from a friend which I wanted to include in my journal so I covered the writing up with some fabric and lace.
You can't see the front of the card but it has some leaves on it.
The smaller page at the bottom is folded in concertina form and has some old torn up doylies stitched onto it.
I did have some other pages done but I stuffed them up and now I have to go paint some more watercolour paper---damn and blast.

This is a fun workshop-and I am learning a lot.

It still isn't too late to join me--just click on the logo on the side bar.

Journal Workshop

I have signed up to do the Journal Workshop with Carole B over on Madness and Mess and it is proving to be a lot of fun.
First we had to paint watercolour paper to use as the book pages.
I used Adirondack colourwash sprays to colour mine and the colours are soft and subtle.
The first photo is not of the ones that I have used for the book but some extra ones that I did.
I forgot to take a photo of the ones that I used before I tore them up into the sizes that I needed for the pages.






Here is a photo of some signature pages standing up.

Here are a couple of pages and these are the true colours that I painted.

I have also stamped images on some pages.

I am using a 5" x 7" photo album cover for my journal cover--I removed the plastic sleeves and am now left with a very sturdy shell.

I hope it is ok.

Now I am searching for all the stuff to embellish the pages.

Oh such joy.

It is still not too late to sign up if you are interested and Carole is a great teacher.
