A few journal pages ...


I'm still playing catch up from a very busy year of workshops.  It was great, but so many things ended up on the back burner.  I am desperately trying to take care of that all now, plus finalize some plans for 2014 workshops.  Non-the-less, I still manage to squeeze in some journaling time.


 Sometimes I enjoy just revamping old pages that just aren't to my liking.


Other times I sit down and work on pages I started and never quite got around to finishing ages ago.



And then sometimes I just want to prep pages for future journal entries.  It also gives me the opportunity to work with and refine a technique, such as the "beading" you see below.


Not all pages are to my liking, but they are included anyways.


These pages were all done in my File Folder Journals (#4 and #5) .... my favorite journals to work in lately and as a result, the journals are rapidly filling up. Playing around and doing a bit of experimenting always leads to new ideas and soon I shall start constructing a new journal (and perhaps a new workshop as well!) to work in.  I love the hunting and gathering process for the construction of a new journal and hope to have photos to share soon.

  3. Absolutely love all your journal pages, and would love to come on a workshop one day, but that's unlikely as I live in England. I teach book binding workshops over here, and I aspire to teach journalling workshops that look as beautiful as yours. Last year I was feeling envious of your workshops, I now feel inspired, I must be making progress!

  7. These pages are gorgeous! To keep washi tapes from coming off, cover them with gel medium. Hope this helps. :D
