Journal a la "She Art"





















Hello My Friends! It's good to be back posting, here, again! I've missed you!

I've caught up, a bit, with some things here, more to come, but I did manage to work on catching up with my "She Art" fun!

I decided to create a handmade journal out of one sheet of 22x30 Fabriano watercolor paper. I sized it down to approx. an 8x8 size with a sewn-in binding. I love working on "She Art", but was finding the canvas work was getting a bit cumbersome, here, so I am dedicating this journal strictly to my "She Art". This way, I have a nice, compact collection of what I am creating.

I've also tried to keep updated with your Blogs and am always so inspired by what you all are creating!

Hope all is well with you and yours.

I think we've had Spring, here, a couple of weeks ago for one day! We've been cold and windy; ole man winter is not ready to give it up yet! There is hope with the end of this week; temps are supposed to get to 50!

Love and peace to all! -Marilyn xxoo

I love the idea of your SHE art journal. Your pages are soooooo full of textural goodness in which the SHE'S can reside. An arty informational page turner you can refer to over and over again. xox Corrine

Janet Ghio said...

I love your idea of making a book for the she art girls. And that quote is one of my favorites!! Thanks for reminding me. Winter doesn't want to give up here in Missouri either--we thought spring had come last week, but now-yuck!!

Diane said...

Love the focus of your new journal, Marilyn. 8x8" is such a great size to work in. Mother Nature still has us in the grip of winter too -- we still have snow on the ground. Bummer!!! Spring has GOT to be just around the corner!!! Hugs, Terri xoxo

I'm so looking forward to taking the "she art" class in April. I like your journal idea for keeping samples and it gives some room to experiment and play. I may have to copy that one. Let me assure you the West coast is wet and cold, too. The weather has to get warmer someday, doesn't it?
