I had some happy journal time and made this page. I feel like each time I do this collage type journaling of mine that I get a little bit closer to what my vision really is. I do most of these pieces in an attempt to get my inside to come outside. I like this one, I call it EMERGE.
Two unrelated subjects, but nevertheless, that's how my brain works! I will never tire of working with Carolyn Saxby's luscious fiber beads, they make me feel all warm inside!
Use bits and pieces of fabric and papers that you love and make a journal page that makes you happy. That's what I did, and it made me happy, and I am hoping to make more. It gives me great satisfaction to use paper and fabrics together, especially vintage. This was all spurred on by that beautiful tag with the bird that the fab Julie Whitmore sent to me with a piece I ordered. I made a copy because the original I want to frame by itself. Nuts, I know, but so be it!Thanks for sharing in my nuttiness, and have a great rest of week!
I had some time this weekend to work on things that I have been meaning to try for a while. Believe it or not, I have never used a soldering iron in all the years I have been making jewelry, and had one unopened in a package for at least 2 years. So wala, here you have my first soldered pendant, with an image from paper whimsy, a piece of vintage millinery flower from my collection, and a piece of vintage text. Errr correction, this is my second pendant...I cracked the first one! It is rough, due to increasingly shaky hands, and a bit wonky, but oh how I love it...her!
This is a new journal page I made. I realize more and more that I have an odd love of all types of paper, and my approach to this type of art is very random and haphazard and I really enjoy that.
