Three more journals

I finished three more of the journals...

The fabric on the outside came from this larger piece that I had done a few months ago:

This was a piece of canvas that I painted using some dye-na-flow paints and then added the scribbled text in black acrylic paint.   It's been hanging on my design wall for months because I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with it.  I think it's perfect for these journals.  Here's a look at the insides...

On the inside of the one on the left ...

Lined with hand dyed cotton, there are three pockets along with some journal tags made from some old dictionary pages.

And each of the three signatures includes some embellished pages.  I used some french print clip art to embellish the pages in all of these journals..

and the inside of the one in the middle of the top photo also has three signatures, with pockets and some journal tags...

with embellished pages...

and the one on the right in the photo has some journal note sheets...

inside pockets...

and embellished pages...

I've gotten emails from a lot of people since I started posting these journals asking if they are for sale.  If you are interested in buying one they are $50 and shipping is free.  I can also create a custom journal for you using your own fabrics as well.  If you are interested just drop me an email and I will send the details on fabric requirements. 

I also want to call your attention to Virginia Spiegels Call for Artists for Collage Mania II.  Visit her blog for the details on how you can participate.  I'll be donating at least one collage and it's a great opportunity to create art for a good cause.
