This is my journal which is now starting to resemble Donna's book sculpture, I've just increased the book ring size thinking it would help - but I'm not convinced and these are the biggest book rings I've got.

PAIRS JOURNALS DONNA & VIRGINIA
I have a feeling that Donna has blogged an update after these photos so they'll run slightly out of sequence but hey - that's the way it rolls - nope just checked it was her journal I was thinking of so win win.
This is my journal which is now starting to resemble Donna's book sculpture, I've just increased the book ring size thinking it would help - but I'm not convinced and these are the biggest book rings I've got.
Simple add ons to pages, gelli prints on the edges
And again here on the top edge and right hand edge.
Washi tape
More gelli plate fun
Hexagons
Mask
Bit more gelli plate goodness
Forbidden Corner ticket used on the page
Gelli plate
Colouring in
Go on guess - bet you can't think what it is - yep gelli plate
Threads
and on the other side
Additional words, started but not complete
Lace and ribbon additions
Little house addition
Transparency overlay
Stepping back quote
Originally had a lamppost stamp that I'd done, now has a giant topiary tree
Bit more gelliplating
New tag
I have yet to work on the pairs journal I've currently got, probably due to all the mail issues recently, however, I'm having a craft day today so might be able to sort.

That gelli plate of yours is definitely being put to work! :)
ReplyDeleteAs ever when you and Donna share pics of your pair journals I can only gaze on with wonder and some envy at your combined style - so free and full of wild abandon! I sincerely wish I could let go of my need for everything to be tidy and finished all the time, teach me your skillz ladies! :)
Am hopefully seeing Donna on Friday, so maybe a face to face meeting will help
Sarah it might - it's certainly Donna's style and ability to just go with the flow that has helped me stop feeling the need for everything to be finished, perfect etc and just allow it to evolve and you can tell from the pairs books they are an eclectic mix of our styles and now over a year's worth of collaboration a constant reminder of two people having great fun mixing their styles and their art!
DeleteSuch a treasure! I wish I could sit down, have a cup of tea and slowly turn the pages in your beautiful journal :)
