I'll be finishing this journal as a demo while teaching in Australia, but wanted to show you the bits and pieces. Still needs some vintage buttons here and there, binding, and maybe a few images and words. I added some string to the front cover after I posted it last week: Spine:
Inside cover lining:
Another lining and a signature wrap:
Flip side of the signature wrap:
Another signature wrap:
Some of the pages:
And the back cover:
I have enjoyed very much looking at what you do and I love the art!
Are you ever going to do online classes? I am a homebound artist because of a chronic illness and would enjoy such a class. I have taken other classes where the lessons were videoed ahead of time with a PDF for each class, and then the student can take the length of time they need for each one. Just an idea. My blog is http://bellesouth-rebecca.blogspot.com/ if you would like to see my art (just scan down the page), or click on the flicker link on the right side of the blog to see it another way.
Anyway, thanks very much for considering it!

your blog and creations are beautiful, i like more !!! i like art journal " tissus". En français c'est plus facile... J'aime énormément votre style d'art créatif avec le tissu, la peinture , le dessin . Quelque chose de beau émane de ces créations. Dans vos centres d'intérêts vous placez Dieu en premier, ce que j'apprécie beaucoup car pour moi il est aussi en premier puis viennent mon mari et mes enfants. Je crois que l'art el la foi ne sont pas incompatibles . Merci pour votre franchise. God bless you!! amitiés

Thank you everyone for the kind words!
Pip, I'm coming back in 2015! Not sure if it will be in Melbourne though. We're considering Perth. When we finalize plans, it will be on my website as well as in the sidebar here, but probably not until late next year, or even early 2014. Maybe sooner, but I'm just not sure yet. Seems like a long time doesn't it! I can't wait to come back to your lovely country.

You are by far the best Journaller I've ever seen and you've inspired me so much... especially to let loose more!
How can I know if you're coming to Melbourne Australia again cause I would pay to come to your class in a heartbeat (and My Mum would too!) !!
cheers
Pip :)
