Getting ready for Journalfest

New bag, I wanted to try painting on an actual paint canvas from the hardware store. I cut chunk out of a painters canvas that I got a home depot, you know the kind you use to cover the floor when you paint. It actually is a pretty nice surface to paint on. Then I sewed it into a bag to take to Artfest. Good thing I do most of the house painting, my husband will be surprised when he sees the chunk missing from the canvas. hehe!

New journals, I made one for me and one for my friend Diane, who always hosts me when I am at any of the "fests". I always start a new journal when I go away for teaching and learning! These are mostly all black & white and red (all over) which is a color combo we both love. I made the outside binding with some cool black and white tape I got from Target. The front and back covers are made from the backs of canvas tablets that I recycled. Old buttons and scraps from my painted stash and collage papers for the pages. NO new materials where harmed in the making of these journals! (Just the tape)
