Kal's spread in Deedee's journal

I thought I'd posted this spread... but it must have only been on Milli's, not here. There is some lovely work in Deedee's journal already, and I really struggled with this one! Isn't it funny sometimes things just come naturally, and others you have to wring out...

 I went for some heavily textured collage .. and a few of my favourite animals, funny how a cat theme came through, so swapped a panther for a koala fro a little variation. Wouldn't it be great if we could all fly and be free? I wish...
Hope you enjoy, Deedee.xx

AJ page for Deedee

Deedee's AJ will be sent definitely tomorrow. Kalona, Deedee's journal is on its way to you.♥

Two spreads for Deedee.

 I have finished my spread in Deedee´s beautiful little journal. I was just on my way to my daughter in Scotland, so I guess the city, nature and waiting for spring is what´s in my picture.

Deedee invites friends and family to join in, and do a spread. Well, as I was taking her journal on vacation, I asked my Daughter to contribute, and she was delighted to do so. Its back in Denmark now, and ready to send on. xxx Trine

Loren's journal

This is my contribution to Loren's journal. I have a very old Alice in Wonderland book that I scanned for some of the little pictures. I also used rubber stamps. "Alice" is acrylic.

Hello, it's Deedee and I'm finally aboard!

A few pictures to share with all of you. First is Liz Monaghan's wonderfully beautiful journal cover. OMG the whole journal, the entry page, the sign in pages, the front and back covers are just unbelievable! This picture does not do it justice. There are actual beads in the stitching all around the cover!

My contribution

I just received Loren Cranes journal from Liz and will begin this week. Pictures to follow...

Louise's work in Deedee's Journal ~ "Nature, Dreams and Visions"

I have had the pleasure this week of working in this beautiful travelling art journal. It was hand made and the above art work was done by Deedee Forrester from California.

Her theme is Nature , Dreams and Visions.

Inside her journal there are some very beautiful entries and these lovely words from Deedee~

"Our journals are on a daring flight around the world. Letting go of something we love, something we have started, giving back to each other is as life should be ."

It has been such a pleasure to give my work to Deedee and share my nature, dreams and visions in her lovely journal. I have long admired Deedee's work so was thrilled when she joined up into this swap with me.

Deedee has generously added extra pages into her journal and invited everyone to do more than one if they would like to, so I took her up on her offer and did 2 pages.

The one above I did using stencils and sprays, markers and stamps.

I took this journal down to the local skate park with my boys the other day, and it certainly made those few hours a whole lot more pleasant. 

This page was inspired by one of my favorite lessons I did in a wonderful art journaling course 30 Days with Gulfsprite   taught by the  very talented artist and gifted teacher Christy Sobolewski .
