My latest journal is now finished and is listed in my Etsy shop. This one features quite a few of my original graphics, as well as lots of hand stitched fabric pages. I've used a slightly different way of stitching the signatures into the spine, which enables the journal to hold it's shape very well. I don't get attached to my journals but this one would be one of my favourites.Below are just a few of the pages as there are 172 pages in total, that includes both sides.

I think that album is absolutly beautiful Ro....a work of art.....and the one who can afford to buy it will be over the moon and treasure it for life!!...its stunning.....greetings Francien.
Very playful and full of joy Ro. Dare I say, your work is becoming even more lovely.
Absolutely gorgeous. I don't know how you can part with these but I'm glad that you do.
Another book full of gorgeous happiness Ro. I couldn't bear to use one as an actual journal - it would be sacrilege to sully even one page with writing or drawing.
Its absolutely beautiful, how can you bear to part with it.
Beautiful work, I love your journals & I think you could turn your hand to a wonderful artist's book, too. Both have their place, just google 'artist/s books'......you'll see ;)
Your colour sense is so fabulous. I especially love your spreads of the stitched trees and houses in this one.
A beautiful treasure you must find hard to part with.
Absolutely stunning, Ro! I have visions of trying to make a journal in a similar vein only using my eco-printed fabrics & papers.
You mention a new technique for attaching your pages/signatures.....care to share?
Also, will your 21 Day cover any techniques for binding or is more art focused? It looks like an amazing group of gals and fun course - but I've been burned a few times lately with online courses. I guess I'm hesitating and need an encouraging nudge. :)
Wonderful to see the pages in this journal! Isn't printing with gelatin the most fun?! Bravo!
No wonder you like this one! Very nice work Ro, as always. Viv
This is beautiful - luminous colours and lovely textures. How I'd like to see all 172 pages...
Your work is beautiful!We love the same colors!
Wow, this journal is spectacular, each page is a stunning work of art.
I know it will find a special home... but I can see why it is a favorite of yours. So what is your next project!
Have a lovely weekend,
