This is one of two tunnel books I am working on. This one is 10" X 10" and will be primarily black and White. The other is 8" X 8" and will...

I just can't seem to get enough of these File Folder Journals. I think this is the 5th or 6th one I have started. Circles also seem to be one of my obsessions lately. Here I have gotten a page all set up for journaling. I have been adding lots of fun additions such as sewing sequins on to a page. To see more of these journals, just scroll down the page to see previous blog posts. Seems all I have been working on are these File Folder Journals. They offer so many fun options. Workshops for…

What a crazy busy and exciting time! All plans are in full gear for Art and Soul in Portland, March 2-8, 2015! Classes have been added and I will be teaching 4 workshops that I am terribly excited about! One of the workshops will be "The Wall", a graffiti inspired accordion book. Speaking of which ... did you see the Jan/Feb 2015 issue of "Cloth, Paper, Scissors" Magazine? There is an article I wrote about graffiti journals with "The Wall" being shown as an example. The "Mandala Journal" is…

I love drawings in journals and I think all of us journalers should do it more often. Unfortunately, I am not as good at keeping up with my drawing skills as I should. It really is a skill that needs to be practiced regularly. This journal is somewhat newish. It's a larger journal than what I usually work in, being 10" X 12" X 2 1/2" thick" and is constructed with 1/4" plywood covers. A very stout journal indeed ... just the way I like them. More photos to follow as this journal progresses…

I'll be in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania at the "Charmed I'm Sure" Studio of Jean Van Brederode on April, 17, 18 and 19, 2015! Here are a few photos of the Mandala Journal being offered on Friday the 17th. Thought I'd mention(as so many people have told me that from the photos they thought the journal pages were coaster size), I'd like to let you know that the pages are 8" in diameter. However, I do also like the idea of making a smaller one ... workshop for the future perhaps. We still have…

I had the luxury of having a bit of extra time and I spent it working in my Mandala Journal. I love working in this journal because of the format. Sometimes it can be a challenge, but it is a very pleasant shape and size (8") to work with. This is one of the workshops I will be teaching at Art and Soul in Portland next week. There are only a few extra available seats in the class, so grab one while you can! You can see more photos of this journal on my website here.

Registration for "Art and Soul" in Las Vegas, June 14th-18th 2012 has now begun! It will be held at the beautiful Green Valley Ranch Resort. I will be teaching the workshops "An Instruction Guide for Going Over the Edge" and "Through the Rabbit Hole". Hope you'll join us!
