just puttering about...

I haven't done too much in the studio this week other than some straightening up and organizing.  I recently got my hands on a couple of discontinued wallpaper sample books and this morning decided to use them to make up some new notebooks using my Bind-it-all machine.  I have decided I love working with these wallpaper sample sheets.  They've got nice texture and they're sturdy enough for stitching with.  I've got lots of ideas for these!

inside is filled with some blank white paper and some colored cardstock along with some envelope pockets:

and the back has a little pocket with a mini notebook tucked inside:

I'm keeping this one for myself but I did prep a couple more sets of covers to make some more:

I"ll have those done in a day or two and hopefully into the shop by Friday.  I also managed to get some paper bags painted up and distressed for another project that I have in mind:

Some great color variations in these papers.

The Mixed Media Surfaces for the Fiber Artist class officially starts today.  There's plenty of room if you're interested in joining the class.  All the registration information is on my website here.

It's a beautiful sunny warm day here so I'm heading out to enjoy it, have a great day!

Your hand made journals are lovely. The different patterns and added touches really add to the design. Very nice work.

My, you got a lot done, and it's wonderful. Wonder if I need that machine?

Stop tempting me Sue! I've got my eye on one of those machines....
