PITA BOX JUNQUE JOURNAL, et al

 

I've had some requests to see more prepared pages 
in my fun 
Pita Box 
Junque Journal...

{I have two more boxes on hand with
one prepared with signatures and
ready to be decorated for next year}

These crackers are my favorites so
WIN/WIN
right????
:))))))

It's getting pretty "fluffy" isn't it????

(I actually removed the 5th signature,
which is the Christmas one, as 
the journal was getting to
 fluff-i-fied hahaha)

Here is a Summer Garden spread; 
The little collaged card 
on the left turns  over
for journaling...
[it is leftover from my scrapbooking days
and made into a little flip ]

I couldn't resist making this page a 
"Black Hole Sun" page with a little
photo from my Batting Book's
fabric representation at the
top left.

(I use my "Ivy" mini printer to
copy pix off my phone which
I got for my Birthday gift last year)

Here is the double spread:
These gals are swooning over Chris Cornell's singing...
:)))))))))

Here I've added all the lyrics...
using mostly white gel pen...
scattered on both pages...

[Sorry for the glare.....]

Working on the 
"Wash Away the Rain"
lyric page in my Batting Book (BB)
on the facing page. 

This is the base "whirlpool" section
representing the emotions and
I will add the rain 
on top falling into it...
The background looks washed out here--
there is a lot more blue in the stripes...

so far I've used  two blue threads,
light and darker,
and two aquas...
one being variegated...
all in chain stitches...

This is about 1 1/2 weeks of
stitching so far.....and
it is far from being done...
I am enjoying the 
necessarily 
S L O W
aspect of making this page...

Hugs from a cloudy and humid day
(sigh, once again!!)
