| The Journal Obscura |
I have been hard at work and can hardly contain my excitement! Even though this new journal is far from complete, I just had to share a few photos of it as it progresses.
The concept of this journal is loosely based on the Camera Obscura, which translates from Latin to mean; camera for "vaulted chamber/room", obscura for "dark", together "darkened chamber/room". I find this concept fascinating and oh so perfect to base a rather intriguing journal on.
Admittedly, I find this a little bit eerie, but don't you just love what's inside the "lens" underneath the "lens cap"? It's a small doll face suspended between layers of mica.
The pages for this journal are unbound and are stored inside the Journal Obscura, a whole new and unexplored format for me.
This is a new workshop I am developing. While it's too late to offer this class in 2013 at the larger retreats, it will be available at several private retreats for 2013. Stay tuned for more details to follow on locations and dates.

ReplyDeleteohhh ingrid, the bee book, the hand book... the journal obscura! Your talents are amazing and so is your productivity!
ReplyDeleteI have always adored the shaped pages and "over the edge" ~ I even did a beaded page myself, after seeing one of yours and i love it.
Somerset, NJ and NYC are not very far from me ~ so finally getting the chance to meet you in 2013 and taking a class isn't out of the realm of possibility!
