This is what I have done with the final page where the paint through the pierced ovals bled through. Here is the page in its original state. I really didn't want another page with ovals as the main theme, so I decided to do another intuitive collage, using the ovals as the background.…
Before beginning this page, I completed the preparation of the rest of the pages in the book. I watched one of Robyn McClendon's videos, the start of her series on an altered book, and I wished I'd seen this before I started with this journal! She gave some excellent instructions about how to…
Last night I completed another page in my Organic Journal. I had been thinking of experimenting with cutting holes in the pages, and then this morning I saw Robyn McClendon doing just that! I couldn't wait to get going on it. When I started this page spread, I was coming to the end…
Yesterday I made my first intuitive collage in the Organic Journal. I couldn't think of a title for it so it's just "Intuitive Collage 1." I didn't take any photos at the beginning as I was just sorting through my various papers to decide what to include in this project. Here is the…

Organic Journal I made a start on my Organic Journal today. For details of this exciting book, please see this post. A collection of collage papers. On the right, one of my music sheets painted with coffee. In the centre, a scratch paper with marks created by cleaning off my paintbrush - this…
Teabag Mini-Album Number Two After setting this aside for a period while I was busy with other things, I was keen to get back to it and complete it. Please refer to this post for details of recent progress. What I intend to do in this current post is to show the photos…
I have had such a lovely day on Saturday, full of creativity, receiving gifts, and ending with a really great phone conversation with a friend in the evening. My birthday present arrived from Ebay - my hubby is giving me a lovely boxed set of hardback books - the complete Chronicles of Narnia…
