2025 JUNQUE JOURNAL, et al

 

Above is my 2023-2024 

Pita cracker box 

Junque Journal glue book

which I have shown before. 

A few of you asked to see 

more of my process and the book..

I have added tabs to all the pages,

some fabric and some paper...

As you can see here:↓↓↓

It has gotten really CHUNKY!!!

↶↶↶↶

I only have about 5 pages left to

the end of the year...

But  by using my journaling cards I

will be able to work until

January.

Here is where I am today--

you can see the pockets with the

journaling cards in them:

It is so chunky that I had to hold it

open with my Father's 

old glass paperweight...

*******************

And......

So, I have put together

what will become  

Volume 2 of my Pita Box

Junque Journals.

[I like using these boxes as it gives me an

excuse to get these from Trader Joe's and

eat up all the yummy crackers--haha]

It has four "signatures"* --

in this one instead of the 5 in my first

to keep it from getting so "fluffy"!!

:)))))

[*FYI: groups of pages 

sewn into the spine...]

👀↧↧👀

You can see them here sewn

into the spine....

I've distressed all the pages--

which are scraps, and coffee dyed

computer papers, and a 

bit of everything really;)))

[hence "junque" journal title]

I am getting ready to work on the pages here....

The front cover inside Title Page

ready to be decorated

and 

here is the first page that I

have begun to work on:

You can see that this is just a scrap

of paper that I partially coffee dyed and

stencilled with dots....

The lady has become my "signature" stamp 

that I will feature throughout...

Here is my "messy" work table with some things

in progress...

Above my work table are shelves holding

a lot of the supplies that I use most...

And 

that old lunch pail on the top right

was modge-podged by my Mom--

and I truly cherish it...

holding all my glues...

So you see

the acorn doesn't fall 

far from the

tree, 

does it:)))

I am working on learning a bit of

Mixed Media in this old book...

working with stamps, sprays,

 stencils,  and 

some watercolors...

I will remove these pages and most likely 

use them in my Junque Journal 

next year...

Hugs, Julierose,
