Journal making


Ahhh, the messy joys of journal making, these started out as three piles of paper, small, medium and large but they didn't stay that way for long.

Merlin was checking up on me from time to time.


Made some interesting pages out of old gardening books, vintage knitting patterns, old library books, old calenders and diaries.


Now to decorate the pages further and put them all together. I just love making these :)

  7. Hi Sharon,
    I did alot of cutting and glueing and also sewing,but nothing pleased me. So as is my want took up distraction tactics. I came across these wonderful books by Yvonne Skargon.Lots and lots of lovely wood engravings and tales and poetry only about cats.I bought them all off Amazon,all good used copies. If you haven't already do look,they really are a joy.
