More pages

I've been so busy creating more journal pages and looking after my grandchildren. Their Mum will finish her course tomorrow and will then be able to say she's a certified Dietician. I sometimes feel that I'm certifiable after looking after them and trying to meet my deadlines, but they add so much joy to my life, and are all showing strong tendencies towards art (not that I'm trying to force them in any way). Just a few more photos of the journal.


a felt embellished tree


I like adding worry dolls, pieces of knitted fabric and jersey shirt buttonhole bands to my pages


watercolour daffodils and collage papers


more watercolour flowers


ribbon that has been stitched then burnt through the layers


fabrics, labels and papers were all stitched to these pages.

Thanks again so much for dropping by and your lovely comments.
I really will try to post more often and show other things than my journal pages.

Your journal pages are always a delight to the eye - so exuberant and colourful. Your grandchildren must love being with you, though it must be tough keeping them happy and trying to work as well. So gratifying for you to see they have an interest in art.

Vibrant as ever!! Lovely use of the knitted fabric - what a lovely idea! By the way I'm wearing your earings (if you know what I mean!)

Lovely work. I learn from you just by studying your pages, thanks for your generous sharing.

I look after my little grandkids too and sometimes it stops me sewing, but they are growing so fast, and I don't want to miss a minute, il sew more later, when they are older

Hi,
Are you quilting your pages before you add the fabrics and knitting?

Your work is glorious! I adore your use of colors! You are very talented!
