Just about finished with a sample book that I'll be taking to my workshop at Donna Downey Studios in North Carolina (class is full).
This shows the signature wraps in the front of the journal:Painted photo and pages:
Ready to journal on:
sweetly feast on life:
Unfinished front cover. Still needs to be bound and words added:
breaking rules, being brave:
Last page and signature wraps:
Back cover:
I still have some embellishment and the binding to do, but I've started another book and will work on both. Here's the cover for the new book:
Anxiously awaiting your on line workshop. I've just gone through your blog and I am in awe of both your journals and your photography. I too love crows and the incredible statuary found in old cemeteries. Your journals feature so many techniques that I would love to explore, but sadly can't afford to travel so far for a workshop. Please try to find the time to create your on line workshop!
Anxiously awaiting.........Angie G

This book is amazing! Your bird is so full of curiosity and looking for adventure. The colors and textures are fabulous too. In one word "seductive" Vicki Barton

Such a beautiful book. It's inspired me to start a new project. Take pictures of all the birds in our neighbourhood and make some sort of journal about them.

Will I ever be able to do something so beautiful like this? And, when finished, will I have the courage to put words in it, in fear to not stand up to the beauty of the pages? Sigh....
