Below are some of the pages, there are still lots more but I couldn't fit all the photos in one post. This will be for sale on my Etsy.
Over the weekend I attended a fabulous felting workshop run by Elizabeth Armstrong. Elizabeth is such a wonderful teacher and is so generous. Her work is stunning. Walking into her studio is like stepping into Aladdin's cave, there is fabulous colour everywhere and so much to see. Elizabeth teaches from home and is also teaching at Creative Soul Retreat in March. If you've ever wanted to learn how to make felt, Elizabeth's the lady to see.
Above is a piece of felt I made on Sunday after the workshop. I hope to make pieces like this that I can cut up and use in my jewellery.
Below is the silk and felted scarf I made in class.

Your latest journal is fantastic and the felt pieces are stunning. I love your poppy seedhead stamps and the onion dome designs and, as ever, your colour schemes are just glorious.
I always know where to come when I need a color fix! Fantastic pages, and those felted pieces make me swoon! Hugs, Terri

Your journal is totally fabulous and unique; every page is full of inspiration. Great felting too...I keep looking at the scarf in close up to see if I can work out how you did it!
Glorious felt pieces, Ro. I recently discovered Elizabeth's site and am so impressed with what one can do with felt.
What a fantastic journal
What a wonderful and spectacular journal - you make me feel I want to spend all my time making art and stop writing (and it takes something to make me say that!)
I will now drool again over each page, and thank you again for sharing your amazing work. Ann from UK
Wow what a blog post! That journal...well it's just wonderful...the lucky purchaser will get 96 original works of art!...and you've done a felting workshop as well and made some stunning things already...I feel very slack...
I love your work. The colors are always so amazing. I know you teach classes at your home, but will you ever consider teaching on line? I live in the US,but I still would love to take one of your classes. Thanks for sharing what you do.
Ro - your latest journal is stunning! So pleased you had such a good time at Elizabeth's on Saturday. Funny you used the expression Aladdin's Cave as that is exactly what Jacky and I thought! Your scarf is gorgeous and the piece of felt you made on Sunday is bold and vibrant (I love Orange).
Look forward to seeing you next Wednesday at the knitting group.

A question about the journals Ro...Can they be used to write on for like a diary or something...?

YOU ARE A TRUE ARTIST!!! I am so impressed! I want to try my hand at a fabric/paper journal, but it will be so normal looking compared to your wonderful art! sigh~~~~
