This is the book I work in when I teach my altered book workshops. I tend to do experiments in this book so it ends up a mish mash of styles. I don't mind this as I have a wide range of tastes when it comes to art and journals.
The top three images show two pages, with two shortened pages in the middle. I've used lots of transfers on the third image and hand written text.
In the next image, I decided to concentrate on art and art supplies. I used ads from the yellow pages as part of the background, along with serviettes. I painted some lace, made letters from some thin brass I had in my junk box and stamped to tie it altogether with my eraser stamps.
The last photo shows a page the revolved around the brochure for the movie Golden Flower. Again I used serviettes for some of the background. I tore up the brochure then stuck pieces of it down, I used my eraser stamps and even a discarded sugar packet to finish off. I like to give some of my pages an edging held with eyelets. It strengthens the page and provides somewhere to add extras.
I'm going through Randi Feuerhelm-Watt's Wide Open book and cards. This is a totally different way of journaling for me, but I'm loving it.

These are the pages that I can just sit and stare and pour over for ever and keep coming back to see again. I have just discovered that I like to make them too.
Oh Ro..... I am just drooling all over my screen looking at these pages. AbsoLUTEly devine!!!
Love these pages, so much depth & texture.
What a great idea, having on book to experiment in when you teach classes. I may have to start doing that!
Your books are so gorgeous! I dye/paint/stamp my own papers, but when I try to journal on top of them, I always feel like my work gets lost in the patterns. Your, though, are so rich and intricate. Don't know how you do it, but you are good! ;-)
Ohhhhhh gorgeouness, gorgousness! Stunning pages. ;-)

These are just gorgous! I love your handmade papers and backgrounds. You have such an awesome talent for colors and their play with one another. Beautiful!
Hi Ro - great bunch of pages - I love that there is so much to see in each - like all those metal bits too! I have Randi's book, but I just can't seem to let go and freeform in that way ... just too much of a control freak!!! I keep trying tho.... :)
Fantastic Ro - unfortunately I really have trouble "going with the flow" so I can't work like this - wish I could because I love the vibrancy!!
