There's a pile of old books from a jumble sale for the journaling. I also got some embroidered napkins, a twine set, sun charms, necklace and a china mask which I couldn't resist.
We were given Prayer Journals and booklets plus there were colouring pages but I think the beads went down the best.
I did Bible Journaling Ministries monthly free mini kit page for July about Keeping the Faith Fire Burning.
The girl image used on the FI page is from the new facebook group Fussy Cut Freebies which has a wealth of free images to use.
Day 10 & 11 - threads and stamps.
So pleased to be able to sew again, really ought to get some sewn clusters done whilst the going's good and I have no idea how long this steroid injection will work for.
I used some lip balm packaging as the tag, tissue to cover the envelope. A a strepsils blister pack for the large circle stamping and bubble wrap for the smaller.
The word SUN was already on the right side so added the theme word of light. The sun charm and bead string were from the jumble finds.
These day's videos weren't really working for me, so I used a rainbow stencil and with a few rain drops and clouds for weather. The butterflies were added extras and now thinking one would look good on the right hand page too... (done!).
Yes another thing I am able to do without major pain and/or numbness is "Fussy Cutting" whoop whoop.
Oh well done with both those faces BJ - I am hopeless at any life drawings of any kind. Loving your goodies and all the latest journaling. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW - Thanks for joining in. Sarah
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post. There is so much here. All the journal pages are great, but I particularly like day 14 and 15. I made one of the concertine JJs ages ago, but I found it didn't work well for me - I made the mistake of thinking I could use it like I do my Daily Journals for writing and I found it was useless for that. I should have treated it like an art journal and stuck to quotes or phrases, that sort of thing, not loads of text. I should drag it out and see if I can re-purpose it for JJJ (that I might do in August once ICADs are done) - an idea there I think...
ReplyDeleteYay! On the day…

At 4.5 inches, if it has a flatish back, I can see it gracing some sort of wall art with your lovely collages? Your JJJ concertina looks fabulous! Well done on finishing the first half. I'm intrigued about the books you got from the jumble sale as I'm about to take a lod of books to the charity shops. What sort of ones should I be keeping for arty exploits? Have a splendid week, Lisa-Jane #11
ReplyDeleteGood luck at using the old books I bought some to cut up and then just couldn't do it just felt wrong some how which I know is stupid but I did get some old paperbacks with dark coloured pages and managed to cut those up they are so useful. Loving the journal pages. Wishing you a very happy and creative week. Hugs Angela x10x
ReplyDeleteAs usual you have created so much to show this week! I am impressed with the faces, even though I watch Dina Wakley all the time drawing faces I can't... mind you I don't practice, I just think I can't do it.... Enjoy all your challenges and have a creative week. helen #1
ReplyDeleteGreat pages and I do like the rainbow stencil. I am not feeling so good today, sore throat and the start of a cold. I am not good at colouring portraits. Happy WOYWW. Angela #12
ReplyDeleteIt's ages since I did any face drawing or painting. I love doing it but then I am never happy with what I have done so it doesn't continue. I should concentrate on one thing at once rather than dibbing into so many different things. That way I might have become more proficient at something. Still, as I just said on a blog, enjoyment doing what we do is half the purpose.
ReplyDeleteYour concertina is fabulous - I enlarged it and so got to see it much better, what a lot of pages! Once again youhave been prolific in your art and treated us to some lovely pieces. Thank you BJ.
