Covers for my Junk Journal...unfinished as I have yet to paint & embellish the spine. I am looking forward to playing around with this technique again...so many possibilities.
These were two of the inside signatures I made using the stencil made for the covers. Rather patchy and blotchy at the moment, but these will be painted/embellished even more. Will show you again when they are finished.I was in klutz mode though when it came to the binding of the signatures....luckily Ro is a very patient person and gave much assistance...we laughed until I had tears streaming down my face.
As always a lovely, personal class at Ro's and we are very lucky to have Steve feeding us the most amazing food all day...his Passionfruit Panecotta with honeycomb crumble was to die for. I think Ro should do a book of her wonderful art and techniques with Steves yummy recipes in it too!!! They are a great team.
Two cheeky owls...the one on the left belongs to my friend Dot and the other little fellow is for an Art Exchange swap.
Pages for Altered Book Round Robin. The theme is still life so I have been incorporating some still life sketches/paintings with my collage mixed/mediawork.
Another spread for Samm's Altered Book. A still life of a lovely little asian cup and saucer given to me by my dear friend Jenni.
Meet my muse! This little fellow was made by Elizabeth Armstrong...I just love the quirkiness and brightness of him. He will live in my art room and watchover my *art play*. The gorgeous fabric in the background was from my art buddy Dot...a friend of Dots from work recently visited India and Dot organised him to bring back some truly scrumptious sari silks for us! What a treat!
Another wonderful week... lots of colour and friendship!
I am still enjoying Sark, so here is this weeks quote :-
You are seen
You are known
You are loved
Take care all and have a creative week.

Wonderful work and I heard you met Sylvia at the workshop (this blogland is a neighbourhood), did she gave you the three kisses? (I told her so! *l*)

Lovely, lovely post! Ro's workshop sounds like such fun and with delicious food to boot ..... What more could you ask for? My favourites are your 2 Round Robin spreads. They are stunning!!!
Beautiful :) I love to see journals pages... Now I want to draw in my journal!
Lovely, lovely, lovey post. I love Ro's work too. I just got one of her handmade seedhead rubber stamps. Lucky lucky you to have a hand-on workshop with her. I love her techniques too and I also absolutely love your book cover. I can see it is going to be wonderful when it's finished and I can't wait for you to show us!
Love your other pages too and the owls are so sweet
You and Dot are lucky to share such a great friendship and creative time together

A colorful post with a feast for the senses! Ro's junk journal class sounds wonderful and I love the covers you have shown here.
The work you have done in Jo's still life book is gorgeous.
And thanks for putting wings onto my little owl - he is perfect!
Smiling at the image of your monster photographed against the sari fabric - he looks very exotic :)

Thank you for the wonderful wrap Jackie and the entertainment, I loved the class. Your journal and signatures are beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing your journal when we next get together. I hope the stitching's not giving you too much drama.

Lucky you, to be taking a class with Ro! These pages are simply wonderful. I just love your color choices.
Your little owls are fabulous as usual!
Have a good one.
Your class with Ro sounded so fun, Jacky! Your journal and signatures are beautiful. Looking forward to seeing them embellished even more. Ro sounds like a lovely person and teacher too. Great thought to write a book with her art and her husbands recipes! The desert you had sounded sumptuous!!
Love your new owls! Dot is going to just *LOVE* hers and I adore the beads on Dot's too. ;-)
The ginger jar page turned out just beautiful and so did the cup and saucer!!!
Your doll from Elizabeth is so charming...made me smile! I love the cheerful colors and quirkiness...how fun! The sari silk from Dot's friend is yummy!
Hope you are having a great week. XO ~Lisa
P.S. Meant to say you got your blog list going...yay! ;-)
Oh Jacky, there is so much I love here... that you took a class with Ro... your pages and then the pages in your round robin... and your muse! I love the little guy! Roxanne
Love your altered book spreads. And your Ro journal is already starting to look great. Cannot wait to see how it evolves.
Hi Jacky.
Yes Lawendula did ask me to give you three kisses however I hadn't got round to your blog or emailing you. XXX here they are. Your journal looked wonderful and the stencils were lovely. We did have a ball. Ro and Steve still should go for the Cup Day hamper catering, which I suggested on Saturday! Your post is a wonderful read Jacky.
Hi Jacky,you won the bag!!! :)
Please email me your address.
I've just scrolled through your post Jacky and the first thing that struck me was the fabulous colours!
Your journal covers are terrific and the little owls....just perfect.
And your 'muse' looks brilliant against Dots gorgeous fabric.
Happy Days!!
Linda ♥x♥
Hi Jacky your little owls are just the cutest things ever. The junk journal is great and I can tell you had fun with it. Your book work is a gorgeous as ever, you clever girl. Belinda

Junk Journal?! Oh, I want one! I think I will make one, too. (if that's alright with you)
Your owls are so bright and colorful just like the adorable Muse.
:D Love,
Queeny
Jacky, first I want to say thanks for visiting my blog after seeing Marilyn's baby sweater. And thanks for posting, as it gave me an opportunity to come to your blog and see your wonderful work.
I am in awe and love with those owls. That is one of those swaps you say to yourself "I wish I had been in that swap. Just precious.
The colors are so uplifting.
I know I will be a fan of yours from now on.
P.S. You asked me if the lace edgings were knitted or crocheted.
They were knitted. A four row pattern that is easy if you can concentrate. I am always willing to share the pattern for it if you wish. Just contact me through my blog.
Hi, Jacky! I like the covers you made for your "junk journal"! Hope you and yours have a super holiday season! :-)
