This is a detail of the sketch in my journal. I've decided to try to journal everyday.
This is the complete page showing my interpretation of the globe artichokes in the photo below.
This is one of the photos I took in the garden at Heidi gallery last week.
These are the two pages together. I've decided to work on a double page and add a border to both edges.
I'll then add one of my photos to one of the pages and then do a sketch on the other adding text that represents my goals for the year. That's my aim, I hope I can keep it up.
What a Bargain.
Today I visited my local Spotlight store to purchase fabrics for my next workshop, when what did I spy all of these wonderful products going out for 50cents an item. There are transfoils, silk dyes, paints, dyed fleece and bags of tapestry yarns. The goodies in the photo came to the grand total of $23.50, a true bargain.
Again thanks to everyone for your comments in my previous post, I'm still trying to answer as many as I can, I really do appreciate your support. I'm hoping to blog more too now I'm working from home.

Your sketchbook pages are an inspiration!

Fabulous pages Ro and that is definitely what I call a bargain buy.
Beautiful journal pages Ro... and gotta love that little booty from Spotlight... what a bargain...
My heart goes out to all who have been affected by the Queensland floods... my sister was evacuated this evening and the lake across from my son and his family's home is now overflowing so have my fingers crossed for them...
Your upcoming exhibition sounds wonderful and just LOVED your group banner...

I've been watching the footage in the news of the flooding, praying my Aussie friends and loved ones were alright. Natures force is unnerving.
Beautiful journal pages, love the concept especially how you intend to journal a little about your goals each day, that idea I love!
Hope your rain subsides soon. Love the new sketches and they look great side by side.
What bargains!
Ro, your pages are luscious!!! And don't you just LOVE a good bargain?!? Hugs, Terri xoxo
Wow! What a bargain! Good deal! Love your journal pages. Just lovely
cool I love bargains .......the globe artichokes are lovely on the journal you have captured them really well........x
Lovely pages, the colours are great.
I take photos of the architectural artichoke wherever I go, sow seeds every year and plant them out, and the slug get at them when we are away. Your pages are as ever an inspiration and a goal, for Australian colours seem so much more vivid than here - even when the sun pours down, like honey, as they say.
I am so very sad for all the Queensland folk; we (my husband and I here in England) listen to BBC World Service radio on and off throughout the night, and during the day when there is TV coverage of the floods. I am amazed at the resilience of those of your compatriots whose lives have been torn apart. Here, we have too much whinging at the slightest flick of snow, at least that is how the media likes to portray it.
So scary those floods and so sad for all the losses!!! Prayers for those missing and gone.
Love your journal pages!!! And that bargain is to die for! What luck!!!
I love the piece in the earlier post as well of all of you painting together. Wonderful color and energy.
so love the journal
Your pages are beautiful Ro and what a great heap of goodies you found. My thoughts are for all those caught up in the dreadful floods - it must be terrifying.
Your pages look fab Ro. Lovin all the colour! Ooo, bargains at spotlight! Great value. I feel more play comin on!
Queensland has been constantly on my mind as we watch BBC America every morning and theya re so good about reporting. I do so pray that it lets up for those poor people. Glad that you are getting needed rain however!!!
Your journaling idea is a stunner!! I love how you ahve set it up and I like your sketch so much more than the photo NOT that the photo is not godd, your interpretation is Brilliant!!!!You always blow me away with your color work!!!
Fabulous journal pages! What a haul of supplies, and such a bargain at 50c a piece.
I have been watching all of the news coverage of flooding, it's just dreadful. My thoughts are with all of those people and their families who have been affected.
What a bargain hunter you are Ro! Wonderful bounty from Spotlight!
Love the artichoke pages in your journal.
Hard to believe, to comprehend the devastation in Queensland at the moment...

Beautiful sketchbook pages and I do love globe artichokes, they are so sculptural.
The floods defy words, they are so horrific. I am thankful that my nephew's wife's family live in the hills above Brisbane and are safe but my thoughts are with the people who have lost family and homes.
My heart goes out to those affected my our northern neighbours. Such devastation and heartbreaking scenes.
I love your journal page, it is really beautiful.
Gotta love Spotlight when you find bargains like that
Lee:)
You are indeed an inspiration Ro! I love your determination to keep on daily journaling - mind you I can understand your motivation when you make such beautiful pages ...
