    Journal Art

    Monday, December 1st, 2008

    It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything from my journals. Mostly I’ve been doodling, of late, mandalas, ribbons and trees are my favorite subjects. I tend to use mostly pens in my journal rather than paints and/or altered art because I like to carry them with me, catching a few minutes […]

    Little Red Book

    Friday, November 14th, 2008

    I recently finished up a new blank book using this scrumptious piece of red leather for the cover. I had purchased a lot of leather pieces on ebay a while back and gave myself the assignment to use one of the pieces in my next journal. I decided to make a little book […]

    Makin’ Books

    Friday, January 11th, 2008

    For Christmas Randy got me an awesome antique book press. Take a look… is this cool or what!

    { Look What I’ve Got }
    I made journals for my girls for Christmas, so the book press, which I actually received a week early on my birthday (because that’s the day it arrived at the house), […]
