While at "Art and Soul" in Portland, Oregon, I had 3 very busy and wonderful days of teaching classes. I rarely take the time to do this for myself, but took the opportunity to take an evening workshop with
Liz Kettle to make this fabulous journal.
The cover is made with a canvas like material. I have never made a "soft" covered journal before, so this was a new experience for me. The beautiful flower on the cover is actually a brooch I was gifted by Sue Ellen Hayler.
Liz had an huge assortment of various papers, stamps (absolutely love the wooden carved stamps from India) paints, stencils, tools, etc...etc... So many wonderful supplies to choose from!
Much of this journal was later worked on in my hotel room, either the Portland or Chicago airport, a restaurant or two and again later at home.
I have never been one for journaling on the go, as it just never seems to work well for me. However, I have to say this journal is well suited for journaling on the go and has been a delight to work on.
In this journal I have included lots of tickets, luggage labels and business cards. All that wonderful ephemera that you gather on such trips and never know quite what to do with.
It's still far from done, but I wanted to share a few photos, more can be seen on my
website. I'll post more as they become available.
The size of this journal is 6" X 8". The thickness is about an inch, but continues to grow.

Absolutely lovely. Congrats on a beautiful journal.
Truly lovely journal. This is my kind of journal, using ephemera from a trip. You and Liz in the same room must have been a true journal lover's paradise.
Wonderful work!
Lovely. Looks like you are having lots of fun here :-)
This journal is absolutely fantastic! Interesting isn't it, how a different type of journal can affect your way of working?
