<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So much has happened in the past year (actually, well over a year) since I last updated this blog! We have moved to Mid-Michigan to our dream house with a barn that we are revamping into a studio (almost complete!). I plan to post more on that soon.</span></div>

Still, in what seems to be an endless process of getting our house ready to sell, on the market and buying a home, I have managed to complete a few journal pages with very limited supplies, in the past few weeks.</div>

I knew this would be a very difficult process and realize this is why we have put this whole idea of moving off for so long.</div>

However ... slowly ... everything is finally starting to fall into place, but it still looks like it could be up to another 2 months before we get to settle into our new home.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: center;">We have had a few let downs, which at the time made it seem like we would never find what we were looking for. Making things more difficult was the fact that my husband and I were at opposite ends of the spectrum as to what we wanted in a house. Finding a house we could both agree on was a challenge, but we did it. The new place is more than we both could have hoped for ... so all this searching and now waiting, will be worth it.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
With selling and buying a house, plus a move underway, life has been hectic to say the least! I have had to cut way back on my schedule for teaching this year, but I am determined to remain active. After settling down from this crazy time, I will be developing new workshops, picking up on my teaching schedule and will be preparing my new studio for classes and for having other instructors come in as well. This is the plan, but will take time to set into place. In the mean time, upcoming workshops (and links) are listed below -</div>

It has been a ridiculous amount of time since I have last blogged and/or updated info on Facebook. I have not fallen off the face of the planet and have not been idle! There are so, SO many plans in the works! I am hesitant to start sharing plans until they are concrete, because often times things change along that path ... which they have ... dramatically, in fact!... but, all for the better!</div>

We are in the process of getting our house ready to go on the market and are in search of our perfect "Forever" home. This has been our total focus and is turning out to be a major undertaking! Just to say .... the new house is actually secondary .... the accompanying studio space is REALLY what it's all about. So, as we embark along this venture, please check back on occasion ... perhaps friend me on Facebook for updates.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love drawings in journals and I think all of us journalers should do it more often. Unfortunately, I am not as good at keeping up with my drawing skills as I should. It really is a skill that needs to be practiced regularly. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This journal is somewhat newish. It's a larger journal than what I usually work in, being 10" X 12" X 2 1/2" thick" and is constructed with 1/4" plywood covers. A very stout journal indeed ... just the way I like them. More photos to follow as this journal progresses. Hopefully, with lots of drawings!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been fighting with image transfers these past few weeks. I know there are a million different methods, but I determined to make it work with packing tape or contact paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am finding that packing tape transfers make for very transparent crisp images and the paper is very easy to remove from the back. However, it's near impossible to use any mediums on top of these transfers. If you sand the images to roughen them up a bit you can, but it still can easily be removed with the slightest pressure of a finger nail.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Contact paper transfers are proofing to be rather unpredictable and it's difficult to remove the paper from the back without actually lifting the image. The plus side of the contact paper transfers is that you can use other mediums on top ... with a slight sanding, everything seems to stick quite well.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just yesterday I discovered a new type of contact paper and so far am having wonderful results. Grant it, I have only made 1 transfer, but so far so good! Extremely transparent, all the paper comes off the back easily AND other mediums stick to the surface. In the picture below I used a print (the text) from my laser printer and it sure seems to work. I am now off to try it with other images from magazines and books!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have been working, on and off, on this journal for over a year now. When I first made it I covered the front and back covers with some Gelli prints I made quite awhile ago, but have not been very happy with it.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ended up just leaving it and kept hoping something would come to me, which it hasn't until now. I really enjoyed the last several journal pages I made in this journal (see previous blog post) and figured that style would work well, but I wanted a focal point. Last week my new friend, Brenda Ball-Wood, shared a fabulous paper punch with an octopus. It was too small for the cover and the proportions weren't right, so I scanned it and edited it until it was exactly what I needed. Then I made a stencil (and mask) of it. I'm pretty happy with the results ... just goes to show "Good things come to those who wait".</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past week I have been working feverishly in this journal of mine. It's a procrastination technique I am mastering quite well. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kSXGaLeEvLA/VWmcXP1KC4I/AAAAAAAAEfo/p0fslC0gmvo/s1600/I%2Bwish%2B3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kSXGaLeEvLA/VWmcXP1KC4I/AAAAAAAAEfo/p0fslC0gmvo/s400/I%2Bwish%2B3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;">As always, these pages contain nothing more than my usual random ramblings. Often, I consider blurring out the text when I put my journal pages on my blog, FaceBook or my website. But, as I mentioned these are mere ramblings of what's on my mind at the time. I'm not trying to make a statement or convey</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> any messages. There are no secret agendas</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> involved. I am merely sharing journal spreads I have made. Here are shown a few of the journal spreads that I made in that time.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The pages are all quite similar in technique and style, pretty much just different colors. Often times when I work with a new technique I like to make several</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> spreads using it.</span></span></div>

The idea for this was sparked from an old plastic letter/number stencil I found while I was trying to organize my supplies. This kind of thing always leads to distractions ... it's a wonder I ever get anything done.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I spent the morning deconstructing an old hard bound discarded book, painting large pieces of paper for pages and then rebuilding the old book into a journal to better suit my needs.</span></div>

I started making some of these beads out of old bottle caps a few years ago. I quickly stopped and lost interest when I realized how much work they were. Recently, I ran into the few I had made and decided that I really loved them. Now, I was determined to make enough for a necklace.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I made roundish ones that I drilled holes in to so I could string them for a necklace ... 12 ruined drill bits later, I achieved this. I also made some that are somewhat oval in shape. I decided that soldering rings to these instead of drilling holes made more sense .... mostly because I was now out of small drill bits. Not quite sure what I'll do with these yet.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While packing up supplies for my upcoming trip to PA this coming weekend, I was distracted and decided to play rather than pack. I ended up with these 2 new spreads in my <a href="http://ingriddijkers.com/gallery4page6.html" target="_blank">"Urban Ranson"</a> journals. I had far too much fun, but now back to gathering supplies and packing...</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also started to pack up supplies for <a href="http://ingriddijkers.com/gallery4page2.html" target="_blank">"The Mandala Journal"</a>. It took everything I had in me to keep packing rather than take time to play in this journal also!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As almost everyone is surprised at the size of these Mandalas when they see them in real life, I thought I would mention that these are 8" in diameter ... not the size of drink coasters that everyone seems to think.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oh my goodness ... it's a terrible thing to love what you do as much as I do. It's so hard to do what I am supposed to be doing rather than spend all my time journaling.</span></div>

After numerous requests, the classic “Over the Edge” </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
journal of page shapes and edges is making a come </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
back, only this time it’s “Fun Size”! This luscious little </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
journal (4 1/2" X 6 1/4") is a power packed version of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the original. We’ll work on getting those pages to "pop" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(no one likes dull flat pages) and make the edges of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
those pages sizzle (gilding on steroids). This class will </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
help us break away from the traditional rectangular </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
shaped page. We’ll explore ways of developing and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
making other shapes for pages giving our books more </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dimension and interest. The importance of the often </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
neglected edges of pages will be emphasized. Ingrid’s </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
original book "An Instructional Guide for Going Over the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Edge" will also be available for viewing many examples </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which displays a plethora of possibilities. You need </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
only bring a few sheets of paper and a few simple </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
supplies that you probably already have on hand and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the rest will be supplied!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here are a few photos of the Mandala Journal being offered on Friday the 17th. Thought I'd mention(as so many people have told me that from the photos they thought the journal pages were coaster size), I'd like to let you know that the pages are 8" in diameter. However, I do also like the idea of making a smaller one ... workshop for the future perhaps.</span></div>

Please pre-register with Ingrid through her blog, Facebook or email, just so we know how many seats to have available. Light instruction and materials will be provided, but feel free to bring (and perhaps share) magazines &/or collage materials. If you plan on staying the day consider bringing a sack lunch.</div>
