The above photos are of some of the pages in a journal I made from my hand decorated papers and stamps. It's winging it's way to a very special lady in the US for her birthday last week.
I've added a few of my decorations and images but left the rest for her to do as she pleases.
My darling brother came to see me yesterday with this wonderful collection of resistors, gold plated connectors and other goodies. He'd been cleaning out his supply, what wonderful treasures, I just have to spend some time now sorting them out.
I made this experimental pin that can also become a necklace with the addition of the chain. I've started to make my own wire pins so I need to do some testing to make sure they hold their shape. If they are a success I'll have some in my Etsy store when I open it shortly.
There may be another altered book workshop at Hann Made Studio on Sunday November the 25th, if we can get enough interest. If you're interested in attending just email me or contact Hann Made Studio, their link is in my side bar.

Ooo! I love the handmade paper pages. Very cool. I'm intrigued by your pile of new goodies too. Don't you just love how something new and unexpected sparks creativity...can wait to see what you do with them. Happy Sunday Ro!
Well....what a lucky "lady" and what an incredible gift. Ro, you are constantly outdoing yourself.
The pin into a necklace piece is amazing! It makes for a very versatile piece of jewelry and I'm quite certain you will do amazingly well. What type of metal are you using?
Nice brother :-) He's a keeper!
