Kalona's spread for Beth's "Bygone Era"

Well, here it is, a pic taken at 98% complete... so as to leave a bit of a suprise, eh!

This is the 2 page spread together. I've posted the separate pages on the journal section my blog. 

 I've always been into the nicer side of medieval history, you know- the flowing gowns, knights on horses, dragons and chivalry... so it had to be my theme for a bygone age.

There's a bit of my chainmaille in there, some embossed copper, lots of stencilled gel medium, acrylics, pastel pencils and inks. Hope Beth likes it...

Sadie's page for Rhelda's journal

Here is Sadie pages on "Soul Painting". I love your interpretation, Sadi. Wonderful as always.

Marie's journal page for Liz's Journal...

Liz's journal theme is Music/Lyrics.  I was inspired by a recent trip to Jamaica.  It took me sometime to start, even though I knew I wanted to do Reggae theme... but it all came together in one evening.  One Love!

Louise's page in Anne's "Light through the cracks"

Have just finished my page in Anne's gorgeous journal

Sometimes I struggle with the themes and I just need to wait till inspiration strikes,

Once I found this quote the page just flowed.

"When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold, they believe that when something's suffered and has a history it becomes more beautiful."

My page spread for Kalona's journal

I enjoyed creating this page spread as I am so passionate about anything Italian especially Italy. Hope you like this Kalona!

Mary's page to the post office

Mary's page is finished and on its way to the post office. I already left a message on milliande.ning. Kalona, once again mail on your way:-)

The finished page and the back of the page for Mary.

Update Lucine's creation for Mary

A sneek peek on my page for Mary. Theme: Fairy Tales. I have to add some cuties on the page yet. The page will leave @ the end of this week. I'll confirm and post a pic of the final piece. xoxo .... Lucine

Lucine for Beth

My page in Beth's "Bygone Era" art journal. A really beautiful art journal, but it was a challenge. I conquered and I am so satisfied with this page. Sometimes vintage seems a mystery to me, so I tried to bring some colour in this Bygone Era. I tried to make red look bygone. Hope you'll like it Beth:-D

Anne's Page for Liz

I didn't do a page on music,  I just felt led to do a page featuring a corazon for Liz at this time.

I mailed the page package to Marie Austen yesterday.

Kalona's page for Liz

Ooops- hadn't realised I hadn't posted my page for Liz

I tried to keep to her theme so it all works together when she gets them- had so much trouble with this one, I used to play alot of music but the last few years I've hardly listened to any- think I need to rectify that... Hope you like it Liz!

Hi Ladies, I have posted on Milliande about another lost journal. If you are not following on Milliande, please check my post there. http://milliande.ning.com/forum/topics/15-artists-15-journals-15-months

Pages for Liz received

I got the package of pages from Kalona today.  I'll probably add my page to them by next week.

Just wanted to let Louise, Deedee, and Trine know that their journals are now with Mary M. ----I checked my confirmation numbers on each one and they made it to her September 6th. Thought you would like to know : )

Received ...

The art journals are really moving, yayyy☺  I received a page for Mary (theme: Fairy Tales). A second AJ was delivered; theme is: Bygone Era, so it is Beth's AJ. I'm so glad to have an art journal of this round robin again. Beth's art journal is just sooo beautiful! It is so nice to watch impressions of the good old time. Awesome, really awesome.

My pages in Trine and Deedee's  journals.............
