This is the really large journal finished at last and about to go on my
Etsy store. It has lots of fabric pages, felted embellishments, countless stitching, jewellery embellishments, pages and pages of my decorated papers, original art and prints of my artwork. It can be used to journal in, write your inspirational thoughts, poetry or affirmations, add photos to or be kept as it is. I love making these, they become addictive. I've been commissioned to make two more so I can't wait to get started on them.
The cover is machine, free stitching with three felted pieces turned into my lollipop trees.
This is just a selection of some of the pages and the type of work in the book.
Now off to start my new ones.

This is the most intriguing book. I love the earthiness of it. Who wouldn't love to write daily thoughts in this beautiful tome? Wonderful.
What dreams are made of...BRILLIANT!
Fat, wild and gorgeously scrumptious! Everything a journal should be Ro. I wouldn't dare to write or draw in it - it's perfect just the way it is. Happy journal making.
Ro, you've outdone yourself with this beautiful journal - it's simply magnificent and will give many, many hours of joy and pleasure to it's owner. Stunning! Hugs, Terri xoxoxo
Love the yummy covers with the felted details, that is so awesome. I think I need to try to add something felted to something sewn too soon! And the journal pages - yum yum yum!
RO this is just gorgeous - it is so enticing I want to see every page!
THe colours are just perfect for the themes and ideas that you have illustrated. Hoping to see you VERY soon!

I know I keep saying it but I would love to get my hands on one of your journals, to feel it and drink in all the colours. The cover is absolutely wonderful and the felted pieces have added a new dimension to your work.
Breathtakingly beautiful! I absolutely love your journals, they are a great source of inspiration for me. Thank you for sharing.
Gosh, this journal is lovely. The tags (dress tags?) and such that are sewn into it are wonderful touches. You have outdone yourself!
So beautiful - such a gorgeous colour palette
This book is beautiful, you would never tire of looking through it, so much to look at and enjoy.
What an anthology of excitement! Plenty to 'read' in that book.

Beautiful journal Ro...I just love all of the detail and colours.
The lollipop trees with your felted circles look amazing. What a gorgeous cover.
Looking forward to seeing you soon (and maybe this journal in real life???? or will it be already gone?)

Ro this looks absolutely fabulous. You never cease to amaze and inspire me! Ux
You have excelled yourself again Ro! Your new journal is so inspirational with your own little touches like the sample colour chart etc. You have inspired me to make my own which is coming to completion at this stage - only a couple of pages to go then putting it all together - Thanks heaps for being instrumental in getting me going! Your workspace probably looks a bit like mine at present!
this is insanely amazing Ro!! hours and hours of work - and you want to SELL it??????? ;0)
Ooh Ro - this journal is your most beautiful one yet! Sure it will be snapped up very quickly. Love how you are incorporating your felting and textile art into your journals now. And those lollipop trees are stunning!
Looking forward to seeing you on Oct 2.
