Newest Published Artwork in Somerset

Just got my copy of the new Sew Somerset with an article I wrote about some of my journals that I made. I love these colorful little books. Of Course, Somerset always does a great job of photographing the work. I made the books with leftover scraps of my hand painted fabrics. I also used old black and white photos and button cards.

I took to take one class at Journalfest, Yes! It was a book class by Dan Essig. I learned a new binding technique and we used sheets of mica for the cover. We placed art work and pictures under the mica. Both the front and the back cover flipped around to show different images. I used black and white copies of some of my own art work to cover each of the signatures in the book. And somewhere in there you will see my Granddaughters stripped legs. I will try using some of these new techniques in some of my other journals.

This one goes out to Jen!
