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...
