Had time to play

I'm a journal/notebook junkie. Most of these are Moleskines because I love 'em! This group contains the better ones - not including the spiral bound notebooks.

I sometimes distress the pages with brown inks, to make them look aged - but I accidently overdid these pages and did’nt want to use them for my case files. Instead I drew a pattern which I spotted on Pinterest, to simply cover the pages with something and so that I can carry on to a fresh new page spread. I thought of pause music, but imagine these pages to be a visual pause instead.

In my life I'm not sure what is public or private

So here it all is

fragments of the story

Journal 2007

beamahan.blogspot.com.es/2017/12/serigrafia-mixta.html

I've been keeping a daily journal for about three or four years now. About 20 of them are in storage back in Texas. When we moved to England in February 2007 for a three year stint, I started numbering my books, beginning with UK #1, of course.

I finished UK #11 today. It's always bittersweet to finish a book. The old one is a dear friend, after all. The new one? Well, there's the fear of the ultimate blank page. But I find that as soon as I make my first mark, ahhh. That's better.

A few pages from my garden journal. A place to keep notes and seeds for next year.

I've been working on these pages back and forth for the last week....I added the "lady" last night. My hub. walked by and said he liked it...he usually doesn't comment...but he said he liked the colors on these pages. :)

Well partner, this is what I ended up doing with those hexies. I hope you like it! The book is graph paper, perfect for quilt designing!

I used the Stitched in Color tutorial for this: www.stitchedincolor.com/2012/08/tutorial-journal-covers.html

你＿離開這個世界的＿那天。

我流下巍巍顫的眼淚。

Sooo... I tried to clean up some of the hoard...I figured the cookbook collection was a good place to start (I have over 5000 cookbooks). I pulled out this big low-fat, low cholesterol book that was definitely something I did NOT need to keep. Then I held it...hey, this is nice paper, and a great size, and it's a sewn binding-This'll make a great art journal!!! And the hoard shifts...

Made this in response to Kira's journal challenge. My journal book is kind of small, so I spread it over 2 pages. Also, I don't have a scanner, so I had to snap a picture......(I am a semi-newbie to art journals.....and as the journaling suggests---I need to fdevelop & find my style, and become more confident and believe in myself...need to learn more...and to learn to confidently let it flow....have fun...) Go easy on me....

Art journal I made at Artfest 2007, a class I took with Traci Bautista

a page in my art journal.

after snipping the stamp off for my Wreck This Journal, I thought the rest of the envelope had potential!

Finally got to shoot with a good friend, we were blasting FUN.'s album Some Nights during this photo, twas a blast and a half.

My visual journal from earlier in the week...

part of a journal page I made at the weekend, whilst 'on retreat' in the new place :-)

I visited Barcelona last week, first time in Spain! And what an amazing vacation that was. One of the most magickal places I found in Barcelona was a little shop named Papirum. Located on Baixada Llibreteria 2 in the picturesque Gothic Quarter, this store was stacked with all sorts of journals (amongst many other things), on shelfs from floor to ceiling. I chose this little journal to be mine, I fell in love with the soft leather cover and the leathery and papery smell. The journal is made by Manufactus (an Italian company), the journal dimensions are: 14.7 x 10.2 cm / 5.8 x 4 in :: And you can visit Papirum here: papirumbcn.com
