A Year in Classes

A list maker loves the accounting at years end...

 

Made a journal with Jackie at Paper Crown.

I went to Handmade U in spring 2013.

Made a journal and doodled with Dawn Sokol.

Leather work with Camille McClelland at Handmade U as well.

At My Heart's Fancy fell for Stephanie Ackerman making hearts.

 

Making doodles and stamps.

And this Pouf with Jemellia at Je's Bend.

Oklahoma license plate journal at Paper Arts store.

And made a couple of quilts...

Finished a needlepoint tapestry, ya' know, no big deal...

Online and in my robe I took a couple of the getting Started series with Julie Balzer.

Doodle Camp with Dawn.

30 days of prompts with Dawn for National November Non-stop Journaling Month.

From the master, Mary Ann Moss, the Full Tilt Boogie Journal online.

And Mary's Sewn class of pattern painting...

And so many journals I made.

 

 

 

 

Wow. Nice...

 

Full Tilt

 

Once I found Mary Ann Moss and her Remains of the Day Journal tutorial, I found IT. Everything I had been saving and learning came together in a sewn handmade book.

I signed up for her next online journal class, Full Tilt Boogie in November 2011.

I don't think of myself as an optimist or even a hopeful person, but I somehow believe in this future Utopia of feeling centered and having loads of time on my hands.

Since that hasn't happened I embarked In May of 2011, only a year and a half after my initial purchase, to watch the videos and make a journal.

Using the 30 minute chunks of time I pieced this together over several weeks.

And I am in love.

I utilized an old celluloid album I bought in November 2012 at the Rose Bowl Flea.

I employed the sewing collage page technique from Remains of the Day.

I made my pages the same size, mostly.

And it is fabulous.

Look!

I made it!

I love it!

 

Remember that childlike enthusiasm for things you made? I have that now!

And I will not apologize for tons of photos of my baby!



The back...
