Journals to the People #4: "Create"


Part 4 in my documentation of journals sent to Lindsey Zenor's Marketplace.

The Deets:
Soft cover  "Frankenpaper"
collaged pocket on the cover decorated with a cluster
5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
single signature
96 pages
Handmade ephemera

Cover lined with batik fabric. Lots of collage.
Coffee dyed/decorated index cards for jotting down brilliant ideas.
Avocado dyed papers for more thoughtful meanderings or doodles.
This jumbo tag was fun. It's an old watercolor background experiment gone wrong, covered in decorative napkin scraps and embellished with a fiber/button cluster. Still a hot mess but kinda cool.
I had pretty good success at my first attempt at dying paper with food coloring. I unearthed a very old box of Wilton food coloring with 8 different colors.The bird is stamped on a tri-fold piece of paper with a very organic looking mottling of pink and green. Love it. Probably couldn't achieve that again if I tried.
