My journal has started on it's journey, I reluctantly posted it out yesterday. Reluctantly because it's become precious to me and I have to trust the postal services not to lose it. But on the plus side I'm so looking forward to seeing what the other artists create on my theme.
In this pouch above, I have sign in tags like seed markers and I'm asking them to put their name, the date and their favourite flower and then if they feel so inclined to put a tassel, bead or charm etc on it and I'm hoping to have them hanging from the spine of the journal at the end. When it returns I'm hoping to put a fabric cover on it.
Little letter to the artists
Let the fun commence!

Your journal is really lovely. I can see why you are reluctant to trust it to the postal system. I hope that it returns safely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful journal! I love swaps, but am always fearful of letting my journals go out into the world...this one is simply amazing, and I know it will return to you! Really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely journal, beautiful colors !
ReplyDeleteNice evening,
Sylvia
i have a friend who did a moleskin exchange with other artists and it was so cool when he got it back!
ReplyDeleteyours is beautiful and i can't wait to see how it comes back to you!
Heavenly indeed! So pretty. I can understand your reluctance to send it away but you just have to trust the postal service. Hope you love it even more when it returns eventually.

Hi Sharon
ReplyDeleteyour work is so lovely,I am going to begin a journal today, I have lots of bits and pieces just sitting around. I have been offered some exibition space and I am beginning to wonder if its a good idea as I already feel some panic. It alters the way I work as well. But the journal will be just for me so maybe I will relax if I work on it for a while.
This is suh a beautiful thing to do and it looks amazing. I would be worried about sending it out into the world too, I hope it eventualy comes back to you same and sound.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, this is so beautiful. I've never made a journal before and have been thinking about creating one recently but I really wouldn't know where to start. I might have to dig through your archives for a bit of guidance and inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you get it back. I lost one journal in a swap due to the postal system and I was so upset. It had my name, number and email addy huge as day on the journals inner cover and all I got back was the packaging.
You have a lovely blogspot here! I am glad I found it. Now I am a new follower of yours...I am looking forward to your work. You are so creative! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I stumbled upon your lovely blog and found your gorgeous journal pages. They are wonderful! I'm not surprised you were a bit reluctant to put your journal in the post.
ReplyDeleteOh wow...this is so special. I bet you'll be glad when it returns!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous journal! I love the sing in envelope page. I may have to borrow that idea.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful journal. Looking forward to seeing it when it returns :-)
